Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support
Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"Our primary use of Oracle includes writing queries for retrieving data for customers without worrying about the customer ID, user ID, as it is automatically connected to each query."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"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."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The security is great."
 

Cons

"Technical support could be faster."
"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"The user interface could be improved."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"The price is worth the quality."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"It is an open-source product."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The price is pretty good."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
