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."We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it."
"Tools like the BI and SAS are excellent."
"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."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"It handles high volumes of data very well."
"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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 most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"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."
"We find the cost of the solution to be a little high."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."
"The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"I would like the ability to do more real-time type updates instead of batch-oriented updates."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"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."
"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."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"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."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
