We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and MySQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 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."
"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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."
"It is free, which is probably its most valuable feature. It is a pretty full-featured relational database. It really does everything we need it to do."
"My main reason for using MySQL for this small customer database company and for some kinds of scientific projects was that I had to do the installation myself. I didn't have a database administration team behind me. Therefore, I was looking for something very easy to handle. MySQL is easy to install, connect, and do all such things."
"The main advantage is the very large user base. This enables users to fix about any issue by answering any question."
"I rate the solution's stability a ten out of ten since it has been running flawlessly."
"We use it as a data store and from that perspective, we get everything we need."
"The solution is easy to use."
"I use MySQL for employee service in an OLTP database."
"MySQL is easy to integrate. It works with just about every language."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"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 solution could have better integration and security features."
"The GUI could improve in MySQL."
"I feel that some tools which make it easier to create queries or make it easier for other functions would be really interesting to see."
"I would like to have features that allow us to jump between the cloud and our on-premises system."
"The replication needs improvement. It's becoming a native cloud product like Oracle DB or Cockroach DB."
"I would like to improve the solution’s pricing for licenses."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
