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 is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."
"It performs very well overall."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"We have complete control over our data."
"The solution has been reliable."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"More tools to help designers should be included."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
