"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources.""It can be configured to be a very fast message broker. I like the stability, the built-in admin tools and plugin architecture.""Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution.""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.""Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture.""The security is great.""RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues.

Cons
"The product’s performance could be much faster.""I understand that Snowflake has made some improvements on its end to further reduce costs, so I believe BigQuery can catch up.""The processing capability can be an area of improvement.""I would like to see version-based implementation and a fallback arrangement for data stored in BigQuery storage. These are some features I'm interested in.""They could enhance the platform's user accessibility.""We'd like to see more local data residency.""The price could be better. Compared to competing solutions, BigQuery is expensive. It's only suitable for enterprise customers, not small and medium-sized businesses, as they cannot afford this kind of solution. In the next release, it would be better if they improved their AI bot. Although machine learning and artificial intelligence are doing wonders, there is still a lot of room to enhance them.""We'd like to have more integrations with other technologies."

More BigQuery Cons →

"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc.""We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL.""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.""The installation is difficult and should be made easier.""This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization.""Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""The product is pretty hard to configure."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have tried my own setup using my Gmail ID, and I think it had a $300 limit for free for a new user. That's what Google is offering, and we can register and create a project."
  • "BigQuery is inexpensive."
  • "One terabyte of data costs $20 to $22 per month for storage on BigQuery and $25 on Snowflake. Snowflake is costlier for one terabyte, but BigQuery charges based on how much data is inserted into the tables. BigQuery charges you based on the amount of data that you handle and not the time in which you handle it. This is why the pricing models are different and it becomes a key consideration in the decision of which platform to use."
  • "The price is a bit high but the technology is worth it."
  • "The price could be better. Usually, you need to buy the license for a year. Whenever you want more, you can subscribe to it, and you can use it. Otherwise, you can terminate the license. You can use it daily or monthly, and we use it based on a project's requirements."
  • "The solution is pretty affordable and quite cheap in comparison to PDP or Cloudera."
  • "BigQuery pricing can increase quickly. It's a high-priced solution."
  • "The pricing is good and there are no additional costs involved."

  • "The pricing is okay."
  • "It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
  • "Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
  • "This is an open source solution."
  • "We are using the open-source version of this solution."
  • "are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
  • "The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
  • "On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
