Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Sushma Polavarapu - PeerSpot reviewer

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"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 best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"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."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
 

Cons

"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."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"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."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"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 debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
