Technical support is okay, but it has issues with stability and performance
We have our own data center with a lot of servers running on the Linux platform This platform has issues with stability and performance. I have been using Oracle Coherence for only a couple of years. In total, I have about 30 years of experience in the Oracle environment. I began with Oracle…
Derrick Brockel - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"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."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"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."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"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."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is okay."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"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."
"This is an open source solution."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"It is an open-source product."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
