MySQL DBA at a financial services firm with 51-200 employees
Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Analytics and data security needs are met but optimization requires improvement

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."
"The analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"Self-patching and runs machine-learning across its logs all the time"
"I highly recommend it for companies who want to test their application functionality, dev, or test DBs for cost optimization."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
 

Cons

"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"After all the re-work to our product to remove as much reliance on Infobright, and the extra hardware costs we had to absorb, there was definitely a negative return on investment."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"We didn’t purchase the Enterprise Edition because it was too expensive for a product that wasn’t going to replace our main DWH database (Oracle), but was, somehow, only an addition for it."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace."
"They should make the solution more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"ROI is high."
"The price depends on the configuration we choose."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The solution is expensive."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
