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 Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"We use the solution for our Java applications."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale 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."
"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."
"Very fast for query processing."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"Since we don't have the room to scale up, I rate this solution a six out of ten for scalability."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"We would like the ability to add more storage without having to upgrade to Oracle Exadata."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"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."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
