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."It performs very well overall."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is querying."
"It has allowed fast daily loads and analysis of millions of rows of data, which eventually moved to near real-time."
"It is a very stable database."
"The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about 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."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"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."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"It needs more compatibility with common BI tools."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"They need to incorporate a machine learning engine."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
