Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"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."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
 

Cons

"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 recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"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."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
 

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."
"This is an open source solution."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"The pricing is okay."
"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."
"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."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
