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…

Very efficient at large scale analytics; lacks inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases
I think the cloud version of VMware is still lacking significantly because we are using Snowflake or Redshift on the cloud. We have a lot of on-prem use cases and Greenplum is good for that but we also have a lot of cloud use cases and the solution is lacking in that sphere. A cloud-native version of Greenplum would simplify things by enabling the move from Greenplum to Greenplum. It would be helpful if they could include some inbuilt machine-learning functions for complex use cases. I'd also like to see some kind of integrated dashboarding within the product for visualization. For example, Power BI integration or Tableau integration so that we could create a quick dashboard without getting Power BI onboarded.

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."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
"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 have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."
"The most valuable feature is asynchronous calls, which are easy to configure."
"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 most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"Companies can scale the solution, so long as they have server room."
 

Cons

"This platform has issues with stability and performance."
"The initial setup is complex and time-consuming."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"The solution needs improvement on performance."
"The initial deployment was a little difficult."
"If you're outside IP address range, the clustering no longer has all the features which is problematic."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"Some integration with other platforms like design tools, and ETL development tools, that will enable some advanced functionality, like fully down processing, etc."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"The price is pretty good."
"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."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
