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."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The solution can scale."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
 

Cons

"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"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."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
