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 handles high volumes of data very well."
"The solution's integration is good."
"The solution has been reliable."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"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."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale 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 super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Very fast for query processing."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"I would like to see better visualization features."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"More tools to help designers should be included."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"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."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"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."
"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."
"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."
