We performed a comparison between Oracle Database Appliance 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 product is good value for money. It is a secure solution."
"The product’s valuable feature is its capability to pre-configure and pre-install the settings."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Appliance is the ease of management."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"Oracle is a stable database."
"The Oracle database is able to get the data, process it, and return it to the company's CEO's and CFO's within a single day, and thus they are able to find out yesterday's P and L by today. It has drastically reduced the amount and time of processing from seven days to one day."
"If the database goes down on one of the servers, the load is automatically shifted to another server. You can troubleshoot the one that is down without affecting uptime."
"The database is solid."
"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."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The loading speed is very good."
"The license cost could be cheaper, especially for long-term contracts."
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"It would be beneficial to have dedicated RAM included in the Oracle Database Appliance."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"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."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
