We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata 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."Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"Backup/Restore performance: Fast backups, fast restores (especially useful for creating clone environments)."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The business intelligence is very good."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"We like the tool’s features like Smart Scan, Hybrid Columnar Compression, and the TFA."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"Very fast for query processing."
"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
"The performance could be improved."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Implementation takes a long time."
Oracle Exadata is ranked 2nd in Data Warehouse with 124 reviews while VMware Tanzu Greenplum is ranked 9th in Data Warehouse with 36 reviews. Oracle Exadata is rated 8.4, while VMware Tanzu Greenplum is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Oracle Exadata writes "Offers a variety of valuable features".
