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 tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"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."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"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."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and 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."
"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."
"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."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"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."
"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 initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Implementation takes a long time."
