Nutanix Database Service vs VMware Tanzu Data Solutions comparison

"There are a lot of options for working with the database."

"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."

"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."

"The solution enables us to speed up the creation of new instances."

"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."

"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."

"This is a very useful solution for database management."

"The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."

"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 stability of this solution was very good."

"I like the high throughput of 20K messages/sec, and that it supports multiple protocols."

"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."

"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."

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

"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"

"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."

"We faced some performance issues with Nutanix."

"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."

"We are also overwhelmed with the quality of technical support associated with the product."

"Era should be compatible with various environments, such as VMware and Red Hat, to be hypervisor agnostic."

"There is room for improvement in the pricing structure."

"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."

"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."

"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."

"The solution needs improvement on performance."

"Implementation takes a long time."

"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."

"I was struggling with installing a few things. It would be good if was somewhat similar to RedHat. There should be more documentation regarding installation troubleshooting."

"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."

"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."

"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."

"There are some security concerns that have been raised with this product."

"The licensed-based pricing is confusing and too high."

"The tool is expensive."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the solution's pricing a five out of ten."

"There are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."

"The pricing is competitive."

"The price of the solution is expensive."

"Not everyone can afford it. It's a bit expensive, so the price has to be improved."

"Era is quite expensive. The thing that will be a showstopper for them in the long run is if you look at it from a technical perspective on what it provides and weigh it up against consolidation of multiple other software suites."

"The pricing is okay."

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

"The price is pretty good."

"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."

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

"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."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."

"This is an open source solution."
