"The loading speed is very good.""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 most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling.""A very good, open-source platform.""It works very well with large database queries.""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.""Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."

Cons
"The flexibility of this solution needs to be improved because you cannot make changes at every one of the different steps.""I think the biggest problem with the product is that it does a data ingest model, which is very expensive.""Microsoft Analytics Platform System could have better support.""The pricing model needs to be improved.""Functionality needs to be more up-to-date with competing products.""​Hybrid environments are complex to manage.""Releases of new products and functionality is never accompanied by associated documentation, training and resources that adequately explain the release.""We need better real-time analytics capabilities. It's a bit challenging for us."

More Microsoft Analytics Platform System Cons →

"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement.""Extra filters would be helpful.""Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc.""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.""Maintenance is time-consuming.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""Lacks sufficient inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases.""We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
