Handles a huge amount of data at a time and offers good processing speed
You will definitely get bugs, for sure, with every version that comes. Oracle is active in creating fixes, and they release patches. If you are using Oracle Cloud and the infrastructure is owned by Oracle, you don't need to worry. They will push the bug fixes themselves. When we use PBCS or EPBCS applications on the cloud, they handle those things. It might be a downtime during the weekends for 30 minutes, but it's a very stable area. You don't actually use Essbase when you use PBCS or EPBCS. It is in the backend, and things are happening there as well, for sure, but you won't get to see the console. You'll just see the front end, the planning part.

Uses a memory desk processor very efficiently and performs well while maintaining a low cost
The solution is a fine product. However, to make it perfect, in some cases, there might be a need to traverse the queue. RabbitMQ currently lacks the capability for archiving the queue, which essentially turns it into a log. For such requirements, you may need to explore other options like Kafka or custom drivers that allow traversing the entire queue. In RabbitMQ, while you can traverse the entire queue, you need to devise a workaround to handle the messages. For example, you can read a message from one queue, publish it to another queue or keep it in some other way to retain the desired entries, and then stop at that point. Additionally, the need for support may vary depending on the usage and potential heavy loads on the system. The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness. I don't encounter significant challenges or areas that require improvement while using the solution. Everything works smoothly, and I find it well thought out. It's got excellent compliance with MQP 9.0. Overall, I have had a positive experience with the solution.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements."
"Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"The solution can handle a large volume of data."
"I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features."
"The solution is scalable."
"It is very fast compared to other normal databases, like SQL and MySQL."
"It's a very powerful analytical engine with Essbase as the back end. We can analyze, transform, or utilize a big chunk of data for our calculations."
More Oracle Essbase pros
"Very fast for query processing."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."

Cons

"The consolidation engine, which is HFM or FCCS, needs some room for improvement."
"There is room for improvement in terms of cost-effectiveness."
"The reporting tool of Essbase needs improvement."
"They should improve the solution's performance."
"The initial setup is pretty complex."
"It's an expensive product to use."
"The initial setup could be simplified."
"The ability to drive external reporting out for development could be improved."
More Oracle Essbase cons
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"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."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
