"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"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."

"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I think that the error messages need to be made more specific."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"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."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
