More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Pros →

"RabbitMQ will help to remove a lot of the complexities and create a loosely coupled codebase.""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 most valuable feature is that it's really customizable.""The most valuable feature for us is horizontal scaling.""Very fast for query processing.""The stability of this solution was very good.""The product's reliability is the most valuable feature.""The product's feature of data transaction works fast."

Cons
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features.""This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis.""It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base.""The product does not have all of the features that the native products have.""The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster.""If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data.""More tools to help designers should be included.""Sometimes, the product requires rolling back to its previous version during a software update. This particular area could be enhanced."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Cons →

"The availability could be better.""It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link).""If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system.""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.""The fact that a single queue can't be distributed across multiple instances/nodes is a major disadvantage.""VMware RabbitMQ's configuration process could be easier to understand.""Maintenance is time-consuming.""We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."

    Overview

    The traditional structured relational data warehouse was never designed to handle the volume of exponential data growth, the variety of semi-structured and unstructured data types, or the velocity of real time data processing. Microsoft's SQL Server data warehouse solution integrates your traditional data warehouse with non-relational data and it can handle data of all sizes and types, with real-time performance.

    VMware Tanzu is a robust platform tailored for data warehousing, complex analytics, BI applications, and predictive analytics. It excels in scalability, performance, and parallel processing, enhancing data handling efficiency. Users report significant productivity improvements and streamlined operations, making it ideal for comprehensive data solutions.
