The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable.

The service management capabilities are good.

The external data integration with Parquet, Avro, CSV, and unstructured JSON works well.

It has an advanced query optimizer.

In general, I think this is a very good platform, particularly as it's open source. It fits very well with use cases for public institutions or universities, where there is not always a big budget.

It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.
