We performed a comparison between Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics 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 most valuable feature is the level of processing power, and being able to complete tasks in parallel."
"The stability is pretty good."
"I like how Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics integrates with other Microsoft solutions."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Data can be stored any way you want in the data warehouse."
"It is a highly stable solution and it's easy to use."
"The pricing seems to be quite fair."
"The most valuable feature is that you can suspend the computer if it is not being used, which means that you don't incur costs."
"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."
"The loading speed is very good."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"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."
"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 works very well with large database queries."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The only concern for us is the cost part. When it comes to the implementation and the support and maintenance, we see high-cost implications."
"Integration with other products is an area that can be improved."
"We encountered data processing and transformation issues while working with Apache Spark languages for the product."
"The support and price could improve."
"From an infrastructure standpoint, I believe it can be more secure in terms of availability."
"More integration is needed to improve the product for the future."
"The security performance and cost are the two things that needs improvement."
"I would like my team to be able to build pipelines that integrate with the Azure Data Factory."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
