Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."

"It works very well with large database queries."

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

"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."

"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."

"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."

"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."

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

Cons

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

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

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

"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."

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

"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."

"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."

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

"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."

"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."

"The solution needs improvement on performance."

"Extra filters would be helpful."

"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

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

"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."

"It’s an open-source solution."

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

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