We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata 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."This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"The product is flexible."
"The tool's performance is good."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"What I like best about Oracle Exadata is its good performance. It's also a very fast solution."
"We can use virtualization on Exadata."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the smart scan. We have large TB sessions of approximately 100 per second for each of our three instances. The smart scan allows us the obtain data in time in the enterprise manager."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"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."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP 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."
"Setting up Exadata is complex. You need an Oracle vendor or someone who is Oracle-certified to set it up."
"There is a feature for security, but it is not included in the first purchase of this solution. That means if you need to increase the security, you need to buy the security feature which doesn't come by default on these solutions."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"Patching must be simplified."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the monitoring system in the enterprise manager, it could be more user-friendly. In most Oracle tools there is a lot of functionality, and sometimes you need to do five or six clicks to find metrics, and sometimes it's a waste of time."
"A room for improvement in Oracle Exadata is that it's not very easy to use in a microservices environment. It's not easy to split databases, and if this was easier to do in Oracle Exadata, it would make the solution better. What I'd like to see in the next release of Oracle Exadata is for it to become more modular, so you can use it in a context where the data layer is spread between many independent services."
"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."
"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."
"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 installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
