Beneficial data security, good support, and straightforward initial setup
The initial setup of Protegrity Data Security was straightforward. However, we had a few problems, it's not multi-tenanted. It does not have a hierarchy of roles and differential priorities. To have the initial sandbox version of Protegrity Data Security up and running, took approximately one week. However, it needed to be set up in a resilient way because if it fails, then it is going to be a challenge bringing back the lost information. We have to be particular in terms of architecting it correctly which is taking us a bit of time. We are anticipating anywhere between four to six weeks to be finished.

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The product is stable."
"The solution is stable."
"A very good, open-source platform."
"The product's feature of data transaction works fast."
"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."

"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"With VMware Tanzu Greenplum, one can make a huge database table and analyze the queries by adding in the SQL command. Some hint or command for the query goes over the multi-parallel execution."
 

Cons

"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"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."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"they need to interact more with customers. They need to explain the features, especially when there are new releases of Greenplum. I know just from information I've found that it has other features, it can be used to for analytics, for integration with Big Data, Hadoop. They need to focus on this part with the customer."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
"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."

"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The price is pretty good."
