Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The best thing about the product is that the end-user can build the reports by themselves without really knowing anything about databases."
"Because Big Data Appliance allows me to have a single source of truth, it means I have clean data that can be monetized and leveraged to gain more insights with real-time reports from the dashboard."
"This is a comprehensive solution that is easy to deploy."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"Very fast for query processing."
"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"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."
"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"From a technical perspective, Big Data Appliance could be improved with more innovation in the AI and machine-learning parts instead of relying on Cloudera."
"The product should be simplified for the average user."
"It seems like the deployment of repositories has become more difficult in later versions of the product rather than easier."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
