Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The solution can scale."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex and 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."

"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
