We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Oracle Database Appliance 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."The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"The database is solid."
"We primarily use it for OLTP, which has improved our costs."
"The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks."
"The product is very light."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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."
"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."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"The feature that I would like to see improve is the interface. It is really not good. I almost have to work on script by script in it. There is always some issue with the user interface."
"I would like it if the scalability could be increased without having to change versions."
"The product's technical support services need improvement."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"I would rate the scalability a seven out of ten. It has some problems. Databases are huge. This leads to needing more and more RAM and capacity resources, making it hard to scale. Because of this, we use Exadata. That's definitely a point for improvement."
