Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."

"It is stable when there is support from IBM."

"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."

"The solution can scale."

"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."

"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."

"It works very well with large database queries."

"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."

"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."

"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."

"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."

Cons

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."

"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."

"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."

"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."

"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."

"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."

"VMware Tanzu Data Solutions can be improved as it is better and faster for administration and clusters, Dockers, and Kubernetes. Improvements are needed in the documentation."

"Implementation takes a long time."

"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."

"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."

"The solution needs improvement on performance."

"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."

"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."

"This is an open source solution."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."

"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."

"It is an open-source product."

"The pricing is okay."

"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
