We performed a comparison between Amazon Redshift 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 initial setup of this solution is straightforward."
"The solution's flexibility is its most valuable feature. It's also easy to scale and has relatively painless pricing."
"I like it because the usage is very similar to Microsoft SQL server. The structure of the query and the temporary tables are very similar."
"Redshift allows you to transform different data formats and consolidate them into one Redshift cluster. This means you can transform various siloed data sources like Excel files and CSV files into Redshift."
"Changing from local servers to the cloud is very easy. It's so nice not to have to worry about physical servers."
"You can copy JSON to the column and have it analyzed using simple functions."
"Has a very user-friendly SQL editor and it's very easy to use the connectors."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution is fully embedded in the AWS stack."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"The customer support could be more responsive."
"When working with third-party services requires additional integrations and configurations, which can sometimes add more cost."
"Improvement could be made in the area of streaming data."
"There is some missing functionality and sometimes it's so difficult to work in. We need to convert these functionalities using VACUUM inside Amazon Redshift and then it causes some complexity."
"The technical support should be better in terms of their knowledge, and they should be more customer-friendly."
"I would like to improve the pricing and the simplicity of using this solution."
"In the solution, user-based access is quite hard. In general, certain permissions are difficult to manage."
"The product must become a bit more serverless."
"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."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
