We performed a comparison between Snowflake Analytics and VMware Tanzu Greenplum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Its performance speed is very good."
"It is quite a convenient tool."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake for our data analytics are its time travel capability, allowing easy data recovery, and its automatic optimization of partitioning and clustering."
"Snowflake Analytics is pretty easy to use with the connectors for integration with the tools and systems in my company."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"Considering everything I have accessed, the product's dashboard is good since it provides multiple good options, including customization options."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"The loading speed is very good."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"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."
"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 solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"Snowflake could improve in the areas of advanced machine learning AML and generative AI."
"Machine learning should be improved."
"One area that could benefit from enhancement is the user interface for more visual ESM features."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The tool should support EIM use cases. I guess the product is already working on it. I look forward to seeing inbuilt AI generative tools in the solution's future releases. The tool's price can be a little lower. The solution's on-premises support is also very limited. We have to rely on other support services to deploy it on-premises."
"We haven't seen any areas that are lacking."
"The UI must be improved."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"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."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
