| Real-Time Analytics | ||
Data Ingest | "The first database with true linear shared-nothing scalability, enabling essentially unlimited scale, proven from three leading industry benchmarks: TPC-C, TPC-H, and TPC-DS." | Architecture is not designed to handle analytics on rapidly changing real-time data. |
| Manageability | ||
Maintenance | Rapidly deploy the integrated software only environment on standard hardware for dramatically less complexity and manageability. | Requires a lot of manual efforts to maintain and manage the routine cluster operations. |
| Deployment and Administration | ||
Flexibility | Devops enabled for rapid deployment, scale, on multi-cloud. Open platform runs with Kafka, Spark, HDFS, Kubernetes. | Upgrades are really painful. Extensive tooling support for devops is only available on the enterprise edition. |
| Scalability | ||
Architecture | Scale-out architecture efficiently and quickly responds to growing workloads leveraging commodity hardware without add-ons or specialized tuning expertise. | Cannot scale-out well due to their single box architecture. |
| Performance | ||
Data Ingest | Ingesting streaming data in parallel with exactly-once semantics for direct, immediate processing or raw data & events from sources such as Kafka, Spark, S3 and data formats such as Parquet, JSON, and CSV. Common batch load methods are also supported. | Doesn't offer code generation and skiplist indices so as to offer optimal query performance for real-time analytics. |
