Informatica Data Archive (legacy) vs. ParAccel

To manage users, go to the admin dashboard, here is a section for users. In this users section here you can see which users are configured and you have the ability to suspend a user. If you want to edit or add users, you need to go to the Organization section, then click on another user section there, which then gives you the ability to edit or add users.

[Actian Matrix is well suited for:] 1. Power user who wants to derive aggregate metrics by joining huge dataset. 2. Batch load where you have to load billion of records very fast (copy command). 3. Scenario where you want to do ELT because your ETL tool cannot handle huge volume of data.

• It's not a major problem, but it's an example of one of many small annoyances.
• Also, there is no proper documentation available

Incentivized

• Data loading is excellent
• ParAccel support is the best I have seen so far.

• No [suggestions for] improvement as such we amazed with the performance and the services
• Standalone not integrated with power center

Incentivized

• Its a new product, there are plenty of bugs to work out with regards to converting special reserve characters that might crop up in data.
• The Matrix 2 Matrix database port tool needs some ironing out.

I wish to give higher rating for the speed and efficiency in handling the queries, but only 6 because of consistent bugs we encounter

• Faster initial response
• Trained professionals
• Very helpful in resolving issues

Leader failover setup is the toughest and lack of proper documentation is making things tough.

My company currently uses Hadoop for big data management, as well as ParAccel/Matrix databases for storing the data. The combo is fairly effective, and the only reason we are exploring ILM is because of our use of other Informatica products, and looking to build in either synergies between the technologies, or cost savings by bundling all our licensing through one vendor (Informatica)

Actian Matrix is our first big data analytics storage platform, and as I was not involved in the POC process to compare it to other products out on the market, unfortunately I cannot say if it is better than other Big Data storage options. I can say that it out performs products such as Oracle or UDB in regards to the volume of data it can easily index and handle.

• Tracking the usage of specific brackets of data across the entire organisation has now become possible.
• The team was already using PowerCenter. Therefore, using ILM was a very apt decision that allowed easier management of data at the organisation level.

Incentivized

• ROI is great, less spending on full time DBA and that money could be use to add additional node.
• Negative - Not many developers are well aware of this tool, it takes some time to learn.
