We performed a comparison between SAP IQ 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."Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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."
"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."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The loading speed is very good."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"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."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
