It is faster, when you compare it to any other product."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"MariaDB is a user-friendly solution. Performance wise, it's better than SQL. With SQL, I would need to write a number of queries. In contrast, MariaDB is light."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"There is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively."
"We use MariaDB for identity provider services. Most of the things that we are doing are deployed in the container mode. All such solutions require a database, and MariaDB is easier to use for these kinds of deployments."
"The solution is very stable. It was originally built under MySQL. It has a similar level of stability."
"The documentation is quite straightforward."
"The solution runs very quickly. It's not slow at all."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"MariaDB's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The dashboard and pricing need improvement."
"The price could be less expensive."
"It doesn't have the same level of maturity metrics as Postgres."
"Integration with AWS could be improved."
"I'd like to see improved materialized views, like the ability to save select queries. This feature is missing in MariaDB compared to other relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server."
"Maria DB has to improve from a management perspective."
