Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"The most valuable features for us are reliability and performance."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The security is great."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"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 product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
 

Cons

"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"The seamless integration is a bit of an issue."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"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."
"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price is pretty good."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"It is an open-source product."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
