Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"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 solution can scale."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"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."
 

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"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."
"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."
"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."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"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 for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"This is an open source solution."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
