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 most valuable feature of this solution is performance."
"The solution has been reliable."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the performance and usability."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"The solution's integration is good."
"I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"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."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"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."
"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."
"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 feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"The product must provide more frequent updates."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"They need to incorporate a machine learning engine."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"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."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"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."
