VMware Greenplum Reviews & Product Details

We use the Pivotal Greenplum database to warehouse website analytics data, in combination with sales and other analytics. It is a massive amount of data, but Pivotal Greenplum handles it with seemingly ease. Moving from an Oracle solution, the amount of time I spend waiting for queries to process is significantly less!

With my experience to Greenplum Pivotal. It helps a lot to join the required entity for our main table and also helps to quickly extract the necessary information for our enterprise application for OLAP transaction. With Pivotal it helps me in joining the different entity to the main clause. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is little slower than other databases. Takes a little longer time to show results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance better than traditional databases. Successfully worked on Virtual Servers. Easy coding of Stored Procedures. Analytical query performance improved with Greenplum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Backup/recovery limitations command center (greenplum's monitoring tool) isn't able to process and display correct information when the server is under high load. Compression is not supported for "normal" tables. Unique index limitations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am working as Greenplum admin since 2017, we have migrated from Oracle, Postgres. I am having good experience and the utilities are user friendly. If we understand the architecture then you can save a lot of time while doing backups and restore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I observed one thing if any bad query comes into the database, then the database will restart. Pivotal needs to work on that and restrict that query up to segment down only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Connectivity through different technologies Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Better to have some videos to work with greenplum to be easy for beginners Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance at scale. Speed. Easy set-up initially. It was a great platform in the beginning of the Big Data movement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Complexity, hard to tune. Need for specialized support people. Not many people are available that are trained in operating the product. Cloud implementation is sub-optimal. Has NOT enhanced the architecture. It has fallen behind other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

All I need is a Relational Database that can Horizontally scale and give an ease of use close to an Elasticsearch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not really a dislike, but would like to see it even more flexible in use, like the way Elasticsearch is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
