Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."

"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."

"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."

"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."

"The product is not complex."

"The security is great."

"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."

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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"The user interface could be improved."

"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."

"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."

"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."

"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."

"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

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."

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

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

"It is an open-source product."

"The pricing is okay."

"It’s an open-source solution."

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

"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
