We performed a comparison between Oracle Database Appliance and VMware Tanzu Greenplum based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable features of the solution revolve around its performance, simplicity, and its installation phase."
"Oracle has good technical support."
"The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to combine all the data without the need for additional devices."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"We use the solution for our Java applications."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a stable solution. We have clients that have been running it for 10 years."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"The loading speed is very good."
"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 for us is horizontal scaling."
"Very fast for query processing."
"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."
"If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this."
"The tool's setup can be easier."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"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."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"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."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
