Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Technical support from Oracle is okay."
"Coherence is beneficial due to its multi-indexing to the same object and filtering based on data attributes within the object, followed by aggregation."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The product is not complex; I do not have to create stored procedures, functions, or views."
"The solution can scale."
"The solution's best feature is its exceptional speed, delivering efficient utilization of resources."
"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."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"The product is pretty hard to configure."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"RabbitMQ is clearly better supported on Linux than it is on Windows. There are idiosyncrasies in the Windows version that are not there on Linux."
"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."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."

"It’s an open-source solution."
"The price is pretty good."
