Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"It is stable when there is support from IBM."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger.​"
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"The security is great."
"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."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
 

Cons

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."
"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."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"This is an open source solution."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
