We performed a comparison between Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse 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."Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."
"The solution's integration is good."
"It performs very well overall."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"It is a very stable database."
"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."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"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."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"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."
"The loading speed is very good."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"I would like to see better visualization features."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"More tools to help designers should be included."
"In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"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."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
