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 is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"We have complete control over our data."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable feature for me is querying."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"Data collection and reporting are valuable features of the solution."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"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."
"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's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"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 loading speed is very good."
"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 only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"I think that the error messages need to be made more specific."
"Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution."
"I would like to see better visualization features."
"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"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 installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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)."
