VMware Greenplum Reviews & Product Details

Coming from an analytic database world, Pivotal Greenplum is an extremely helpful resource. Aside from Pivotal operating as an odd collection of businesses and enterprises, it does not affect the quality of Pivotal Greenplum.

I enjoy how Greenplum reached beyond the traditional SQL construct. Also for my company, we are rolling out projects related to machine learning, and Greenplum supports ML through another software called Apache MADlib.

All this said, Greenplum's unique ability to process complex SQL queries and multi-load capabilities has proven to be more attractive than other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Greenplum competes in the same market as other giant PostgreSQL databases such as Teradata and Redshift. Greenplum is probably more expensive than its counterparts, which is a downside of the product. Greenplum does not offer cloud computing, which is a missed opportunity.

Greenplum is proprietary and not the cleanest thing to work with. I think there is resource misallocation from time to time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how the Greenplum database is an abstraction of PostgreSQL and I can query the database for results pretty easily. The Greenplum command center which is made by Pivotal is also a decent tool to see queries being run and CPU utilization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the results take a while to get. Yesterday it took about 8 hours with 2 threads to get my workload on a few billion rows. Other solutions may exist that are better on the marketplace. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
