We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Oracle Exadata 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."IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The benefit is really because of the additional speed that we have and, truth be told, the more updated ETL processes and the revamped scheduler in general."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"The data governance prospect... from what I've seen, that is a really powerful tool as well, to help with data lineage and keeping track of that."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"We are able to execute very complex queries. Over 90 percent of our query executions are one second or less. We do millions of queries everyday."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"Oracle has reliable solutions and this one is no different."
"A very stable solution, which we have hardly any problems with."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"The offloading of data to the SIM is a valuable feature."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"In terms of features that I would like to see, one is the ability to actually scale out an architecture. Right now, if you buy one, it's fixed. There is no scale-up availability at all."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"We are not able to scale. The only way to scale is to get another appliance, but we have a customers who would need us to hydrate the data between the two appliances, and Netezza does not do that."
"There's room for improvement in terms of deployment, as it could be made faster and more user-friendly."
"The cost of the solution is high and can be improved."
"Oracle Exadata could improve by having faster data retrieval. We receive data at four or five seconds and want to reduce that number to one second."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"Oracle Exadata has room for improvement in pricing, especially for smaller companies. The solution is okay for bigger companies, but for smaller companies, it isn't."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
