Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"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."
"It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Very fast for query processing."
 

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."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"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."
"VMware Tanzu Data Solutions can be improved as it is better and faster for administration and clusters, Dockers, and Kubernetes. Improvements are needed in the documentation."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"Scalability issues are present."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."

"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
