Able to process all the reporting and processing in the database itself

We have been upgrading and moving to new environments. I was involved in the solution's initial setup. Some things in the setup are very smooth sailing. However, some setups become complicated because what they set up doesn't meet your needs. So, some tweaking is necessary in certain instances. Having a good understanding of the tool really helps. Oracle Java DB is easy to deploy if it's a new setup. Migrating from an old environment to a new environment takes time because you need the old functionality. A first-time deployment of the application is easy. We just did a default setup and started using it. When we have to migrate, there is too much baggage behind that application, especially from the security point of view.

"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."

"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."

"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."

"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."

"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."

"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."

"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."

Cons

"The solution could be more user-friendly."

"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."

"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."

"Implementation takes a long time."
