Pros and Cons
  • "It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
  • "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."

What is most valuable?

It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics.

What needs improvement?

As of now, I honestly don't see any room for improvement. I am very happy with this solution, It's helped me a lot.

They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my coworkers and tech support so often. 

They should advertise more and make it easier for consumers to leave feedback. That way, customers could read the reviews and decide if it's the right solution for them and their needs.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using VMware Tanzu Greenplum for roughly one year.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

VMware Tanzu Greenplum is both scalable and stable.

​The reports are running very fast, a matter of minutes instead of hours as it was previously.

What is most valuable?

The MPP – fast aggregation and that I still reuse the PL/SQL code.

How has it helped my organization?

The reports are running very fast, a matter of minutes instead of hours as it was previously.

What needs improvement?

It should support more feature that do exist on Postgres – like JSON datatype.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for three years.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

Not more than any new DB – not something particular.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Not more than any new DB – not something particular.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Not more than any new DB – not something particular.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

It's good.

Technical Support:

It's good.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used Oracle Enterprise edition – moving to Greenplum due to the MPP (it’s like Map-Reduce). I prefer a SQL solution rather Hadoop or whatever – especially if you’re moving from RDBMS. Now I’m also using Amazon Redshift from the same reason and also we don’t need to manage any server, it’s only a service and this is our best option especially because we’re already using Amazon.

How was the initial setup?

It's straightforward.

What about the implementation team?

In-house.

What other advice do I have?

Read the documentation and always perform tests.

Session management needs improvement, but performs well with larger data volumes because it uses massively parallel processing.

What is most valuable?

The performance is the most valuable.

How has it helped my organization?

There is only a fraction of performance tuning that you need to be careful about, compared to Oracle DB.

What needs improvement?

Session management for client tools needs work.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for nine months.

How are customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Nothing to complain about.

Technical Support:

Nothing to complain about.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Previously, there was Oracle database, and the EMC Greenplum database was used for better performance from larger data volumes because it uses massively parallel processing. This increased the performances multiple times while reducing time needed for optimization of database queries.

What about the implementation team?

We had a team from EMC, who had a very high level of expertise.

What other advice do I have?

It's a very good product for reducing the time and man power needed for database optimization for datawarehousing purposes.
