Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger.​"
"It is stable when there is support from IBM."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"The solution is stable."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"The stability of this solution was very good."
"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."
"VMware Tanzu Data Solutions has positively impacted my organization because it is efficient, easy, fast, and aids in the creation and administration of web servers."
 

Cons

"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"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."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, 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."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."
"The pricing is okay."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"This is an open source solution."
"The price is pretty good."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
