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 is the business intelligence (BI) part of it."
"The most valuable feature for me is querying."
"It is a very stable database."
"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"The solution's integration is good."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It performs very well overall."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."
"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 feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"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."
"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."
"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"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."
"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."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
