SQL Search and change automation functionality help us manage our code repository and databases
The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources. It takes a lot of memory and a lot of processing power to run, and that tends to slow things down a bit. Making it a little more lightweight while still doing the same thing, as much as possible, is what we would like to see in the future. I've noticed that Microsoft SSMS runs much quicker without RedGate installed than it does with it installed. From bootup of the app to opening query windows and connections, SSMS is quicker without Redgate than with, by a significant margin. The other area for improvement is regarding licensing. Every month or two my SSMS loses it's redgate license key and I need to re-enter the key to continue using Red Gate, even though the license is annual.

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.

Pros

"The most valuable feature is SQL Search."

"The product has been stable and I have never faced any kind of problems with it."
"Tanzu Greenplum's most valuable features include the integration of modern data science approaches across an MPP platform."
"The loading speed is very good."
"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
 

Cons

"I would like to see the bandwidth increase allowing me to easily analyze more data."
"The biggest problem with the Redgate SQL Toolbelt is just how heavy it is; it seems to take a lot of resources."
"We needed to configure additional plugins. While it was relatively easy to do this on-premises, it became more challenging in the cloud."
"Maintenance is time-consuming."
"When you have complex tasks, RabbitMQ is hard to use."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is about $3,500 USD per individual to buy, and then it's about 20% per year for renewal."
"Our fees are paid on an annual basis."
"Since the tool is an open-source product, there is no need to pay anything."
"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."
"The price is pretty good."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."

"This is an open source solution."
