Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"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 use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"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."
"Scalability issues are present."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
