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."
"We have complete control over our data."
"We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it."
"It performs very well overall."
"It has allowed fast daily loads and analysis of millions of rows of data, which eventually moved to near real-time."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."
"It is a very stable database."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Very fast for query processing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They need to incorporate a machine learning engine."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
"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."
"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."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
