We performed a comparison between BigQuery and VMware Tanzu Greenplum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integrated data storage features are good."
"It's pretty stable. It's fast, and it is able to go through large quantities of data pretty quickly."
"The setup is simple."
"The most valuable features of BigQuery is that it supports standard SQL and provides good performance."
"It stands out in efficiently handling internal actions without the need for manual intervention in tasks like building cubes and defining final dimensions."
"BigQuery is a powerful tool for managing and analyzing large datasets. The versatility of BigQuery extends to its compatibility with external data visualization tools like Power BI and Tableau. This means you not only get query results but can also seamlessly integrate and visualize your data for better insights."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"It's straightforward to set up."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"Very fast for query processing."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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 super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"Some of the queries are complex and difficult to understand."
"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."
"The initial setup could be improved making it easier to deploy."
"So our challenge in Yemen is convincing many people to go to cloud services."
"The main challenges are in the areas of performance and cost optimizations."
"As a product, BigQuery still requires a lot of maturity to accommodate other use cases and to be widely acceptable across other organizations."
"We'd like to have more integrations with other technologies."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
