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."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"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."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"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 product is not complex."
"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."
 

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."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"The product has to improve the crisis management, especially in memory issues."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"The user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
