We performed a comparison between Teradata 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."Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"The key advantages are Performance when processing Terabytes of data and scalability."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"Designing the database is easy."
"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."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"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."
"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."
"Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
