We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics and VMware Tanzu Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."They are very reliable and cost-effective."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics are its serverless flexibility and complete power have allowed me to explore various different use cases. While I am not an expert in the product, my experience in programming in Databricks has shown me that Microsoft's investments in Synapse could potentially lead to it becoming a complete replacement for Databricks in the future."
"The useability, the user interface, is very user-friendly."
"The main advantage of using this solution is its ability to scale and handle very large amounts of data, in the petabyte range."
"The most valuable features of Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics are the interface and the agility of the on-cloud platform."
"We also like governance. It looks at what the requirements are for the company to identify the best way to ensure compliance is met when you move to the cloud."
"The whole solution is interesting for us."
"The solution's best feature is its predictive analytics."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"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."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"Very sophisticated routing control and priority messaging capabilities"
"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"The security is great."
"I am very sure that there are areas in need of improvement, but I can't recall what they are off the top of my head."
"I would like to see better integration with Active Directory, because we have had problems, and we still do."
"The linked services can be improved. We can create dynamic linked services to access a lot of databases but only those of the same type. For example, I can use the same linked services to access 11 SQL databases. However, if I have 11 SQL databases and five Oracle databases, I need two dynamic linked services. I cannot do it with only one linked service. The UI also needs to be improved. When I have used Azure Synapse for programming with PySpark, Scala, or .NET, for example, the UI has been unstable. If I open two notebooks for programming, one notebook will queue the session of the other."
"I would like to see them provide the ingestion of images."
"With respect to what needs to be improved, concurrent connectivity has some limitations."
"The platform is not flexible, and the graphical user interface needs to be improved because the interface makes it hard for the end user to use it."
"Integration with other products is an area that can be improved."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"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."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
