We performed a comparison between Vertica 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 solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"Vertica gives knowledgeable users and DBAs excellent tools for tuning."
"We are also opening new areas of business and potential new revenue streams using Vertica's analytic functions, most notably geospatial, where we are able to run billions of comparisons of lat/long point locations against polygon and point/radius locations in seconds. "
"Speed and resiliency are probably the best parts of this product."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale 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 loading speed is very good."
"Very fast for query processing."
"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."
"They could improve on customer service."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"I believe the installation process could be streamlined."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"Support is an area where it could get better."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"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."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"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."
