Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."

"Data modeling is a valuable feature."

"It is a robust system."

"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."

"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."

"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."

"A robust and efficient product."

"The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The loading speed is very good."

"We have been able to set up a messaging system that facilitates data integration between the software modules that we sell."

"We use VMware RabbitMQ to transfer information from one point to another."

"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."

"The message routing is the most valuable feature. It is effective and flexible."

"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."

Cons

"The product could provide more features."

"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."

"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."

"The program is difficult to learn to use"

"Design and modeling could be simplified."

"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."

"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."

"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."

"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."

"Other tools besides RabbitMQ provide good TPS and HA."

"Implementation takes a long time."

"They should improve on the ability to scale your queues in a very simple and elegant way with the same power that they have would be great."

"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."

"The user interface could be improved."

"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"All SAP products are expensive."

"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."

"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."

"It is an open-source product."

"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 pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."

"It’s an open-source solution."

"We are using the open-source version of this solution."

"The price is pretty good."

"This is an open source solution."

"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
