Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The security is great."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
