Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
It is a stable program. The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality. The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing. It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment. It has a solid set of tools and consulting services. It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying. It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs. | Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture. 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. 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. |
Cons | |
An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly. The user interface needs to be improved. I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web. It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI. | Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy. I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement. Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc. The installation is difficult and should be made easier. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space. We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise. | We are using the open-source version of this solution. |
