Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

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

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

"Very fast for query processing."

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

"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."

"The solution can scale."

"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."

"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."

"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

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

Cons

"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."

"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."

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

"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."

"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."

"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."

"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."

"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."

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

"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The pricing is okay."

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

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

"This is an open source solution."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

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