The product improves site reliability, but it is not stable, and the initial deployment was a little difficult

When we had outages, we had timeouts. Sometimes, the nodes would drop out of a cluster. Therefore, the applications would get timeouts. There is a newer version out that we're planning to upgrade to for some stability. It could also be caused by our design. The product must improve its reliability. It'd be nice if nodes could drop out and notify each other in a timely manner so that the applications wouldn't know if there was a problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."

"We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it."

"It is very strong, scalable, and has tons of features."

"One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL."

"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."

"Tools like the BI and SAS are excellent."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse pros

"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."

"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."

"RabbitMQ provides access to SDKs for development and the ability to raise and log tickets if we encounter issues. We can integrate RabbitMQ using various languages like Java or Python using the provided SDKs."

"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

"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."

"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."

"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."

"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."

Cons

"This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis."

"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."

"It could offer more development across the solution."

"The query is slow if we don't optimize it."

"We'd like to see it be a bit more compatible with other solutions."

"Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution."

"I would like the tool to support different operating systems."

"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse cons

"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."

"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."

"The user interface could be improved."

"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."

"VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand."

"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."

"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool could be expensive if we need to manage a lot of data."

"Microsoft has an agreement with the government in our country, so our customers get their licensing costs from the Ministry. Whenever we work with any government, company, or government institute, which is mainly what we are doing, that license comes directly from the Ministry of Technology and Information."

"All the features that we use do not require any additional subscription or yearly fees."

"The solution is cost-effective."

"I think the program is well-priced compared to the other offerings that are out in the market."

"The solution's pricing is fairly decent for organizations with huge data sizes."

"Technical support is an additional fee and is expensive."

"They offer an annual subscription. The pricing depends on the size of the environments."

"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."

"This is an open source solution."

"It’s an open-source solution."

"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."

"The price is pretty good."

Overview

The traditional structured relational data warehouse was never designed to handle the volume of exponential data growth, the variety of semi-structured and unstructured data types, or the velocity of real time data processing. Microsoft's SQL Server data warehouse solution integrates your traditional data warehouse with non-relational data and it can handle data of all sizes and types, with real-time performance.

VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
