Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"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."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

Cons
