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."The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"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."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"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 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."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"I would like to see better visualization features."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"It needs more compatibility with common BI tools."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"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."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"Implementation takes a long time."
