We performed a comparison between Teradata 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 features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"Teradata has good performance, the response times are very fast. Overall the solution is easy to use. When we do the transformation, we have all of our staging and aggregation data available."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"Very fast for query processing."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"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."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
