Enhancing analytics with seamless data dumping and reliable support
Our primary use case is data storage and analytics The organization has decided to purchase a full stack solution from IBM due to positive responses, which helped them upgrade from the previous version. The data dumping into the raw zone and the feature of BigQuery is quite attractive. There…

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 performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"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 solution is stable."
"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."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"The security is great."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
 

Cons

"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."
"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."
"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."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"The pricing is okay."
