We performed a comparison between Apache Hadoop 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."Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
"Its integration is Hadoop's best feature because that allows us to support different tools in a big data platform."
"What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important."
"We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors."
"The most valuable features are the ability to process the machine data at a high speed, and to add structure to our data so that we can generate relevant analytics."
"Hadoop File System is compatible with almost all the query engines."
"It is a file system for data collection. There are nodes in this cluster that contain all the information, directories, and other files. The nodes are based on the MySQL database."
"The most valuable feature is scalability and the possibility to work with major information and open source capability."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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."
"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."
"Very fast for query processing."
"The loading speed is very good."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"It would be good to have more advanced analytics tools."
"Hadoop's security could be better."
"In certain cases, the configurations for dealing with data skewness do not make any sense."
"The solution is very expensive."
"Based on our needs, we would like to see a tool for data visualization and enhanced Ambari for management, plus a pre-built IoT hub/model. These would reduce our efforts and the time needed to prove to a customer that this will help them."
"The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."
"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."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
Apache Hadoop is ranked 5th in Data Warehouse with 32 reviews while VMware Tanzu Greenplum is ranked 9th in Data Warehouse with 36 reviews. Apache Hadoop is rated 7.8, while VMware Tanzu Greenplum is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Apache Hadoop writes "A file system for data collection that contains needed information and files". On the other hand, the top reviewer of VMware Tanzu Greenplum writes "Very efficient at large scale analytics; lacks inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases". Apache Hadoop is most compared with Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, Oracle Exadata, Snowflake and Amazon Redshift, whereas VMware Tanzu Greenplum is most compared with Oracle Exadata, Vertica, Oracle Database Appliance, Snowflake and Teradata.
