"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"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."

"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."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Implementation takes a long time."
