Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive are ease of use, and the flows from one layer to the next are simple to understand."
"One of the most valuable features of Informatica Data Archive is its performance."
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."
"The solution is stable."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"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."
"Very fast for query processing."
 

Cons

"The recovery features could improve in Informatica Data Archive."
"Informatica Data Archive could improve by providing training. Training is one area where we lack, there are not very many trained resources in the market for sales, GPM, proposals, new offerings, or new features that are being added to this solution. It would be really helpful for consultants, like me, to understand the new, cool features these solutions are constantly adding. Training is something, that should be in place."
"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."
"The user interface could be improved."
"The product needs to focus on offering more use case documentation because browsing the internet to find it can be a process filled with struggles."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"Scalability issues are present."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Informatica Data Archive is reasonable. Different versions of the solution are available, such as the professional edition and enterprise edition."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"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."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"This is an open source solution."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"It is an open-source product."
"It’s an open-source solution."
