We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata 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."Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"Compression is a great feature, where one can really save a lot of storage."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"Oracle Exadata has very good hardware."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"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 one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"We had issues with system restoration."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"License or upgrade management can be difficult and time consuming because it requires login to a separate console."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"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."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
