Teradata is not a difficult solution to work with, however, its setup may be troublesome, especially if you are not well prepared. You need to plan the setup in advance and prepare very well for it; your previous experience with other databases may not be enough. The setup…

Before my organization implemented this solution, we researched which big brands were using Teradata, so we knew if it would be compatible with our field. According to the product's site, the companies that use it include Air France-KLM Group Vodafone Germany Banco…

I have used both Teradata and Oracle Database in the past, in different companies I have worked for. In my opinion, the score between the two is quite even and I will elaborate on why. Both solutions have similar features, both are big companies that offer multiple services…

SAP HANA is fairly easy to set up, however, I do not think a complete beginner can do it. You certainly need some preparation - either you need to have experience with similar solutions, or with other SAP products. I say this because we had some difficulties with the free…

I think the technical support for SAP HANA could be improved. We have needed assistance from them in the past and when we contacted them, they told us to implement a note and keep them informed. If we needed some vague instructions and the issue was minor, sure, that could…

Based on my work with SAP HANA, the biggest benefit that it can bring to your business is total data management. This product is by SAP - a company that serves almost all needs a client may have connected with data. And this product in particular brings you database…

I use the open-source version of MySQL so if I want to fix something, I do it straight in the code. I cannot name a particular flaw with the solution or something fundamental that must be changed. However, I need to note how useful it is that Oracle kept a free version of…

I may be considered a MySQL veteran since I have been using it since before Oracle bought it and created paid versions. So back in my day, it was all free, it was open-source and the best among similar products. It was even better than paid ones in some instances. And it…

MySQL supports encrypted connections between clients and the server. This is done to increase security for both the company and the organizations that use its product. The biggest benefit of encryption in general (not only with MySQL) is that if your connection between two…

Oracle Database is flexible and can be used for many things. My company's main use case for this product is for storing data. We benefit from its high level of security as well as from the fact that it ensures the continuous run of our system. I do not remember the last time…

I have not found any cons to this tool, and I have been using it for several years. It runs well, and it is a very scalable solution. However, the initial setup was quite complex for my organization. Oracle offers technical support, and they usually answer in a timely…

My company has been using Oracle Exadata Database Service for some years now, and we are happy with it. I will allow myself to answer your questions about why and what benefits it provides us with one word - security. I am not aware of a more secure way to run Oracle…

There are three authentication modes possible for SQL Server Windows authentication mode SQL Server authentication Mixed mode You should select the one that is most useful for you - but from personal experience, I would not recommend the mixed mode. We were using it in…

SQL Server has helped my organization through partitioning to distribute the workload, as it splits them up into smaller pieces so the machines can easily deal with it. However, this comes with a high price, as the standard editions do offer not very good partitioning. We…

I am using the Developer Edition of SQL Server and that is completely free, so I do not have any complaints about the price. This edition of the solution is per user, and you can download it from Microsoft's website for free. Naturally, it has its limitations, since the…

This product is marketed as a data migration tool at a low cost. I cannot agree that the price of AWS Database Migration Service is that low - there are lower-end products on the market as well. However, it should be pointed out that you only pay for your replication…

My current company started using AWS Database Migration Service upon my recommendation, and I continue telling people how good of a product it is. However, users should keep in mind a few things. First, you need some preparation to begin using it. You cannot just start…

AWS Database Migration Service provides its users with tutorials, as well as with extensive documentation. The best thing about AWS products is that they really ensure that their customers will use them to their fullest potential, and this is true with AWS DMS as well. You…

Informatica Cloud Data Integration is utilized across many industries, including ones related to technology, science, finances, and different types of services. Some of the best-known clients in those sectors can be found on the company's website but I think it is important…

Every time we have raised a ticket in the Informatica Support Portal regarding this solution, the technical support has been very helpful. However, sometimes they may take a longer time to respond to your questions. That is understandable, since the user base is a very large…

When it comes to cloud data integration, this solution can provide you with multiple benefits, including Overhead reduction by integrating data on any cloud in various ways Effective integration of applications and APIs Transformation of large amounts of data Informatica…

I had to research what industries Denodo serves before we decided if this solution is suitable for my organization, so I can tell you they offer their services for Biotech and pharma Energy and utility Financial services Insurance Healthcare Manufacturing Retail Public…

I like Denodo a lot. It offers quick and easy web service deployment within minutes. There are not any flaws that I think make the product less good or effective. The only thing I can point out is the customizability option. If Denodo offered greater user flexibility in…

The training that Denodo provides was very helpful for me because I was pretty much a beginner at data virtualization when we started using this product. The company provides you with a flexible education - you can select from public and private courses, base your education…

Even though this product is made by one of the best known cloud providers, it is also compatible with an extensive list of data stores, including Third-party JDBC-accessible databases MongoDB and Amazon DocumentDB Amazon DynamoDB Amazon Relational Database Service Amazon…

I do not think the product is too difficult for beginners. I had not used other AWS products before I came into my current organization and was faced with AWS Glue and several other solutions by Amazon. They work in a similar fashion, and you need some preparation, but in…

AWS Glue's main use case is for allowing users to discover, prepare, move, and integrate data from multiple sources. The product lets you use this data for analytics, application development, or machine learning. My organization started using this product more actively…

With Mule Anypoint Platform, you pay for the features and technical support that you require. There are three different plans Gold - core features Advanced - advanced features Titanium - all features The three plans come with different levels of support as well. In my…

Mule Anypoint Platform offers so many features, it can be overwhelming for users when they start using it for the first time. Luckily the product is easy to understand and soon you can start utilizing all of its great capacities. For me personally, the best features are the…

We use Mule Anypoint Platform for cloud data integration and, besides API management, I believe this is one of its most frequent use cases. My organization has chosen this product because it makes cloud data integration very simple - it provides a template-driven…

Cloud data integration is much better than conventional, in my experience. Of course, any data integration is better than none - otherwise, you are just dealing with multiple data copies, inefficient systems, and wasted resources. However, the reason why I favor this new…

There are several capabilities you should look for in a cloud data integration tool. First, you should always make sure that the platform supports the applications that you are not only running at the present but also formats you may explore in the future. If there are not…

Everyone needs their data integrated if they want to have quick and uniform access to it. But cloud data integration is even more important because it allows you to securely keep your data in the cloud and benefit from innovative solutions like higher scalability, improved…

I think the price of Google Cloud is one of the best things about it. It is not high at all in my opinion, especially when you can use certain features for free. This type of pricing model - paying depending on the needs and size of your organization - is the best one, in my…

I think the power is evenly distributed between Google Cloud and Amazon AWS when it comes to market leadership and utility. These are obviously the leaders in their field, so they are likely to be in first place hand-to-hand, as opposed to one overtaking the other. I have…

Getting a badge or a certification for Google Cloud depends on the goals of the individual. The difference is between the levels of knowledge each of them represents. I personally have multiple skill badges and am content with that; I do not seek to apply for certification…

Our associates have experienced errors with logging in the past and that is something I would improve on. SAP Cloud Platform works very well - its functions are useful and it contributes to our work. However, this issue, though not often, has happened. Sometimes we would get…

We have experience with other SAP solutions, so setting up Cloud Platform was pretty straightforward and went quickly for us. Additionally, our team has been working with another similar solution, so we had taken notes on what should be done and what should be avoided. In…

We will likely continue to use the features of SAP Cloud Platform. I read that SAP did this because they aim to become a unified platform for all of their applications, and they started with SAP BTP. This does not bother my company as we use many of this brand's products in…

Every time we have needed assistance, Oracle Cloud Platform has offered it reliably and in a timely manner. I am content with their customer support and believe they are among the companies that, despite their high number of clients, will pay attention to everyone. My…

We utilize the OCI part of Oracle Cloud Platform the most. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure has proven very valuable for compute instances. We use it for development and testing and take advantage of how scalable our applications can be through it. I would recommend it to all…

In my experience, if a product offers you courses, it is best to attend them if you can. The same goes for Oracle, as I and my colleagues have attended several courses related to our field of work with this solution. Sure, you can operate Oracle Cloud Platform without these…

We use OpenShift to increase the resilience of our stateless applications. This solution has many storage solutions for stateful as well as stateless applications and we utilize this the most in our work. We realized that we do not want applications to be dependent on…

My organization uses Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS and we are satisfied with this plan. There are several other cloud services editions, including Microsoft Azure Red Hat OpenShift Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated Red Hat and IBM logo Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud In my…

OpenShift integrates almost seamlessly with the stack that my organization has. Before using this, we did not have any Red Hat products. We started using more and more services from the company, as with time we realized how beneficial they are for the purposes they serve…

My company utilizes many of the services that AWS offers for various cloud computing purposes. They are all useful, since they all serve different purposes. I think that is the best thing about AWS - how many areas it covers with its products. But if I have to give an…

I would recommend it to people of all levels of knowledge, as it has features for both beginners and experts. But for people who are completely new, yes, I think AWS is suitable to explore cloud computing. I say that because other platforms may have you outsource certain…

I do not currently have an AWS certification and I do not really believe you need to have one in order to work with the solution effectively. It may be useful for people to put on their resumes; however you can benefit from all the services that AWS provides perfectly well…

Yes, OpenSesame is great for eLearning for certifications. It does offer a huge library of courses, but what's even better is they have a specific category just for certification prep! This means that you can prepare for things like CompTIA, ITIL, Six Sigma, PMI/PMP…

No, OpenSesame isn't a learning management system, but it can be integrated into many LMSes. OpenSesame is a website that provides different courses for different industries. It's designed to help workers do a better job, and it has its own dashboard and such, but it's not…

Hi, I had to look it up on the website of OpenSesame and what they say is that the industries they cover with their courses include retail, technology, finance, healthcare, service, manufacturing, construction, and government. As you can see, they cover a very wide range of…

No, LinkedIn Learning doesn't offer any special discounts for students. However, they do provide their services for free if you sign up with your university credentials. Now, this all depends on whether your college or university works with Linkedin Learning or not, so…

No, LinkedIn Learning is not free, but you can try it out for a whole month free. All you have to do is sign up for one of their plans, either monthly or annually, though if you just want the free trial, monthly would definitely make more sense. Then you can take advantage…

Hi, yes, they are the same. A few years ago, Lynda was acquired by LinkedIn, then LinkedIn was acquired by Microsoft, and in 2021 the two eLearning platforms became LinkedIn Learning. What remained from the original Lynda is the high quality of courses, and I guess some…

Hi, you can watch as many courses as you want to - there's no limitation per single account. Skillshare doesn't ask its users to pay for every course they take. Instead, you pay the subscription fee and then you can watch an unlimited amount. This gives you great freedom to…

No, not only experts can teach there, you can do it too. Anyone with expertise can upload their courses to Skillshare. What's more, they have a program to support new teachers. You have to upload your class, get enough followers, and start earning, and Skillshare will help…

You're in luck because it can be! You can apply for a Skillshare scholarship - meaning if you can prove that you really are currently studying, you can send the documents they require, (check their website for details), and if you get approved, you get unlimited access to…

Speaking subjectively here, but yes, you can say Pluralsight is one of the very top places for eLearning when it comes to tech education. I think you should see for yourself though because I can list the many courses it has, various features and tools, as well as all the…

You absolutely can and it's actually a crucial part of their eLearning process. When you sign up for a Pluralsight course, you ensure your place in labs, sandboxes, projects, and interactive course practices. Unlike other eLearning places and providers, here you are actually…

I'd say yes to your question - you could rely on their certificate prep eLearning. I think the best thing about this platform is that they have industry experts who prepare and lead the courses, so you can count on them to give you the right information, in the right way…

I think SAP Litmos makes eLearning effective because it's specifically created to closely follow the learning process and the progress of students, all the while giving you many tools and helpful insight. You can provide your students with different innovative features like…

In my experience, it's best to use a combination of both. We initially paid for the LMS of SAP Litmos to deliver our own eLearning. It was about specific processes in the organization, and we wanted to teach employees in various locations all at once. But after the end of…

I have used this for eLearning before, and considering how useful it was, the price was fair. Of course, you have to think of what you will need for your own training and how much you want to pay but also what is the quality of services that you expect to receive. Keep that…

I believe that these are two different methods of education that should not be excluding each other but rather work together. As we've seen, eLearning can become more than essential in the times we live in. And it's amazing, it gives you the ability to learn from wherever…

I don't think it's easier to cheat in eLearning than in person, but of course it's possible. There is software that doesn’t allow you to change the browser tab during a test but then someone may be sitting next to them and checking the answers on their phone - it all depends…

Though it's commonly connected to teaching in schools, that's not the only way you can use eLearning. You can use it to teach adults who are busy during the workday but want to either gain new skills or completely change their career path and they can only do it through…

We use Barracuda Message Archiver to keep a copy of our users' emails, both inbound or outbound. Our goal in using it is that from a compliance perspective, we can provide access to our auditors. It provides a safety net for retrieving emails to meet public record retention…

I highly recommend Tricentis Tosca as a regression testing tool. We use Tricentis Tosca for end-to-end automation. We have various types of applications that we have to automate (Salesforce, SAP, web-based applications, desktops, mainframes, APIs, and database automation, to…

Testing apps is one of the critical aspects of quality assurance in a software company. While manual testing was the norm until a few years ago, companies today have started adopting automated testing for good Test automation is a method of software testing that uses…

I highly recommend Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) as an excellent single sign on platform. The features I like the most are the multi-factor authentication and authorization. Its single sign-on provides flexibility and helps because users don't want to remember so many…

I highly recommend Cisco Umbrella as a robust DNS security tool. I find its visibility to be its best feature. With Cisco Umbrella, we're able to see specific user names of whoever clicked on specific links. When you go through the reports, you can see what kind of threats…

Digital adoption is important, so you get what you paid for. What I mean by this is that you can invest in the most modern software and if you don’t know how to use it or you don’t have people who know how to use it, then you’ve wasted your money completely and it’s like you…

The answer depends on your own technical skills. Do you have experience with digital adoption platforms? If you do, then it’s not that much different than its competitors, so if you’ve used a similar service in the past, this one won’t be challenging. However, if you…

Yes, you can use both videos as well as images in different formats to add to your flows. I'm not sure if you're familiar with how Appcues works, but their "flows" are basically the things you make to ease onboarding, including in-app communication and the product tours you…

Hello, I believe you have certain limitations to different features depending on the plan you choose to pay for. For example, the flows you make are limited. Then there's also the fact that checklists are available only on the enterprise plan and there are other features…

Yes, they do provide you with pretty detailed analytics features. You can benefit from tools like a customized OKR dashboard, integrations with third parties, business outcome evidence, tools for project and business goals alignments, and others. Through the platform you…

Hello, I have personally benefited from AppLearn ADOPT in my previous workspace. I was a new recruit and they were introducing the new software at the same time as I was being hired, so I also needed to be trained on it. The platform was great for this purpose as it…

Personally, I worked in a place where we use AppLearn ADOPT to fix problems in the workspace regarding the software we were using. Some of our employees were having a hard time understanding it so we employed the platform to help workers understand things better, explained…

According to the website of Whatfix, you can use this digital adoption platform for change management, digital transformation, performance support, remote training, and user adoption. I can't tell you how efficient Whatfix is in each of those roles except for training…

Unfortunately, Whatfix doesn't have a pricing list online. You will have to contact the platform and ask them, if you're curious about how much their services will cost. Before you do that, though, I can advise that you look into whether you actually would be happy with…

Hi, you need to pay a certain subscription first and then when you want to create digital adoption content, you can simply start using the platform. Whatfix offers on-premises setup, meaning you can get Whatfix integrated into your own server and then start using it…

Based on personal experience, my opinion is that Oracle Guided Learning is the best for new employees. Through this digital adoption platform, you can really explain the technologies you use, and you can make it very simple to understand. You've got the option for detailed…

Hello, at my organization we have been using Oracle Guided Learning so I can't help you with competitors, but this one I can say is a good one. We have experienced better results after implementing this digital adoption platform and we are happy to continue using it for user…

Nobody is forcing you to use Oracle Guided Learning, it’s not a mandatory service or something you need to do in order to use Oracle. It’s just a platform that Oracle offers to users to enhance their skills and help them fully understand software and applications through…

Walkthroughs by WalkMe are step-by-step explanations for users through different software processes, helping them complete them. The digital adoption platform offers them to organizations as a way to train people about different tasks, apps, and workflows. They are…

WalkMe is a digital adoption platform that integrates with Salesforce. What it does, and I guess how it improves Salesforce, is by giving users visibility of how sellers are using Salesforce. This helps to identify friction points, which in return helps to design and deploy…

Hello. I can't tell you about the exact price for a WalkMe subscription because they don't list it on their website. To learn how much it will cost for you, you will have to go to their website and from there, you have two options. You can request a demo and get an idea of…

Hi, yes, there are different strategies, or you can call them approaches even, to digital adoption. They are related to how you approach the training of your employees and what it consists of. On one hand, you can start the training before you introduce your new solution…

Hello, in my opinion, the two crucial elements in driving digital adoption are communication and ease of access. Whether you’re introducing new software or just upgrading an old product with new features, you need to present it accordingly to your workers. That’s why it’s…

I think you can absolutely use Sprinklr as your DXP if you want to take special attention to your customers. Actually, their care for your customer service is what they're famous for and what, in my opinion, goes beyond similar DXPs. But to give you some context, not only…

No, Sprinklr isn't a free DXP but it does offer a 30-day free trial. It's not offered for all of its features, though. I looked and at the moment you can get a free trial for only Lite (meaning not full, I guess) versions of their Modern Care and Modern Research features…

As a digital experience platform with many features, Sprinklr includes the feature for better social media and sales outreach and is famous for it because many competitors don’t offer it. If you use this DXP you can follow your social media statistics, personalize the…

No, and that's what makes Magnolia CMS great! It eliminates the need for a developer who will do the content changes on your behalf. That on its own saves you from salary expenses for such professionals, and we all know they're more than costly, but it also saves you a…

Honestly, I don't see what should stop you from using Magnolia CMS for your personal use or to grow the digital experience you can provide. It gives you a free trial and from there you can establish if it is really suitable for your goals or should you look for an…

For me personally, Magnolia CMS isn't the best one. But for beginners, yes, it absolutely is. The platform not only comes with easy-to-understand features and provides you with basically all that you need to create your content and then distribute it to your client base, but…

So the price of different Acquia Cloud services doesn't really differ that much based on locations, though, of course, it's cheapest in the US. But my opinion on the matter is, the personal and the small business plans should be really considered in detail if you need one of…

In my personal experience, it's definitely worth it to migrate from a regular CMS to Acquia Cloud. I've worked in several workspaces where we used a CMS and then other services for the marketing of the content. Needless to say, that's a huge ordeal and takes up considerable…

Unlike many digital experience platforms, Acquia Cloud Platform actually separates its two main actions and their many features so it's easier for users. Maybe you were browsing their site and got confused about Drupal but here's the thing - Drupal is the main thing (plus…

My organization has been using Kentico for user interface (UX) and website development. We've got some developers on our team but I think even without professionals, you can benefit from the features that Kentico gives you to build the platform that you can use to provide…

In my experience, Kentico has been a very flexible and easy-to-use content management system. Keep in mind that we haven't been using it for a while because our management decided to change DXPs for internal reasons, but I don't think it's changed that much since, in terms…

I was a complete beginner not only in marketing but also in digital experience as a whole when we began the transition of our company to online. When we selected Kentico we were provided with the opportunity for easy management of content and great tools for digital…

Yes, I think you can trust the cloud feature of Liferay pretty well. It gives you the option to back up your data as well as restore it and that's pretty vital for any digital experience platform. Do you manage a big amount of user data? Because if you do, or you think…

I haven't used Liferay personally, but since you have to start from somewhere, I think it's a good one. I've looked into it before when I was choosing a digital experience platform and it looks good to me, not overly complicated and with a big variety of features, so you…

A tricky question because it'd depend on what your focus will be on Liferay as a digital experience platform. I mean, if for me the experience management is the best feature, for someone with different needs, the identity management may be more beneficial. I guess you're…

You don't need a DXP if you only need to manage content if you only have a blog or some other content-based website. You can do just fine with WordPress for those cases but if you've got a business and you want it to reach your customers, you may want to look into DXPs…

DXPs are important because they connect you to your clients and also give you information about how much your digital experience is appreciated. If you pick a DXP with detailed data insight, you'll be able to quickly find the weak spots of your strategy and fix them in time…

You may want to first look into what exactly you want to provide to your customers through a DXP. Two different businesses would mean two different types of clients served, and so two different digital experience platforms. I agree with the previous answer, Liferay is good…

How often do you need for your data to be synchronized? I'm asking this because different companies use data replication for different purposes. Some use it as simply updating backup, others to give access from other locations. What JumpMind SymmetricDS gives to its users is…

I didn't start with JumpMind SymmetricDS, I actually started using it at a job when I was a little more introduced to data replication. That made me able to see the good features this software has. But anyway, would I recommend it for a newbie? Sure, why not. It has a…

Yes, it does. This data replication software works with many popular databases, allowing users to benefit from its services. What's more, it also works with many data warehouses, as well as streaming platforms. You know, I've always thought the biggest disadvantage of many…

In the way NetApp Snapshot creates data replication, it's already giving you backup. You may know this already but the snapshot method is providing you with frequent static copies that can't be altered, so you've essentially already got a backup. But unlike your regular…

Last time I checked, the NetApp Snapshot data replication software could go up to 255 snapshot copies. I'm not sure how familiar you are with similar software, but that's a pretty good number. It gives you the option to create frequent copies of your data because you have…

If you're a complete beginner to data replication, this is a method you'll get. NetApp Snapshot uses a data replication method called Snapshot. It is conducted between databases and the data is changed not in real-time but at specified times. It's done by copying the data…

When I first found out about data replication and the many benefits it had, I couldn't help but wonder - what about the copies you don't need? Like it's unavoidable for some of the copies to get damaged, not updated properly, or something else. You're right, NetApp Snapshot…

I think the protection that Quest QoreStore gives for your data is more than enough. We've been using this data replication software for a while now and our company is very satisfied with what we're paying for. To give you some context of how we're using the security of…

Hi, you can use the Quest QoreStor software for much more than just data replication. Though by the way, it does a very good job for that too! But other than it, it can provide you with various types of backup for your data. And while doing that, it also gives you…

The qualities and capabilities I look for in a container security solution include Flexible integration: Evaluate the vendors’ ability to support integration with various tools. Ask if the vendor provides a rich API. Ask if it offers out-of-the-box plugins for tools used…

I am currently using Snyk. Here's what I like about it: I feel Snyk is one of the top container security solutions that’s available on the market. Out of all the solutions I have tried, it has been the best for integrating with other security solutions. Snyk enables users to…

When researching IPAM solutions, there are numerous features to consider. The 11 features that were most important to my decision included Ease of use: If the system is easy to use, then task performance is probably going to be faster and a lot more efficient. Look for an…

When researching mobile development platforms, there are numerous features to consider. The 11 features that were most important to my decision included Platform compatibility: There are now two main platforms available in the mobile app market: iOS and Android. If…

I feel that eG Enterprise is one of the top APM tools available on the market. Out of the solutions I have tried, it is the best for monitoring, diagnosis, analytics, and reporting of key IT services. eG Enterprise is a fully converged application and infrastructure…

When I compared various Network Monitoring Tools, I found LogicMonitor’s LM Envision platform to be the most effective one currently available on the market One of the things that I initially noticed about LogicMonitor was its advanced and robust consolidation capabilities.…

When I compared different version control tools, I found Bitbucket to be one of the most effective ones currently available on the market One of the things that I initially noticed about Bitbucket is that it integrates seamlessly with JIRA, which really adds value to our…
