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 UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"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."
"The solution has been reliable."
"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."
"Data collection and reporting are valuable features of the solution."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Very fast for query processing."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."
"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"The product must provide more frequent updates."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"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."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
