We performed a comparison between Amazon Redshift and VMware Tanzu Greenplum 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."The product offers good support for the data lake."
"I have primarily used the Redshift Spectrum feature and found it most valuable."
"We have found Machine Learning use cases are very nice."
"Redshift COPY command, because much of my work involved helping customers migrate large amounts of data into Redshift."
"If the analyst knows SQL, which is comfortable and easy to use to go between all of these tool stacks, I think it's reliable. It's a secure and reliable data warehouse."
"I find the most valuable features to be the MPP style of processing, which mostly all of the data warehouses provide. The ability to integrate all other AWS services, such as NSS and S3, with little effort is very helpful. The service is well maintained, there are update patches frequently."
"The solution has very competitive pricing."
"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up and easy to connect the many tools that connect to it."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"Very fast for query processing."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"Amazon Redshift is a little more expensive than other products."
"I would like to improve the pricing and the simplicity of using this solution."
"In the solution, user-based access is quite hard. In general, certain permissions are difficult to manage."
"Should be made available across zones, like other Multi-AZ solutions."
"Amazon should provide more cloud-native tools that can integrate with Redshift like Microsoft's development tools for Azure."
"This solution lacks integration with non-AWS sources."
"The initial setup is a complex process, especially for someone who is not familiar with nodes and configuring terms like RPUs."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
