We performed a comparison between Oracle Database Appliance and VMware Tanzu Greenplum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"The database is solid."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."
"Oracle has good technical support."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"Oracle is a stable database."
"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."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"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."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
