Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."Very good for performance and scalability."
"The most valuable features of this solution are security and stability."
"It's easy to search and extract data from the warehouse using queries."
"Some of the most valuable features are the scaling from a small very cheap installation to a very large enterprise installation. In addition, the backups and assistance are good."
"The scalability and availability of this solution are the most valuable features."
"The solution can scale."
"The most valuable features are with the industrial side."
"I believe that because the support is good, they jump in and assist us in determining the root cause."
"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 underlying hardware that IBM provides with this appliance is made for a specific purpose, to serve performance on a large amount of data, and to do analytics as well. It is faster, when you compare it to any other product."
"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 pricing could be improved, it's expensive."
"The initial set up was complex."
"The command line part of this solution could be much better."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"The solution no longer supports POWER8."
"The solution could be more modern and have updated database technology."
"The price should be lower."
"The capabilities of this solution could improve."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"Our main problem with it is concurrency. When there are too many users running Netezza at the same time, this is when we have the most complaints."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
