Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage
The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"The solution can scale."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"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."
"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"The price is pretty good."
"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."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
