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."Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse integrates beautifully with other Microsoft ecosystem products."
"It handles high volumes of data very well."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"We have complete control over our data."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"The solution has been reliable."
"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."
"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 loading speed is very good."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Very fast for query processing."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"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 query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"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."
"In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating."
"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
