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 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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"Complete management occurs from one single address instead of different servers."
"The most valuable feature is storage offloading."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"What I like most about Oracle Exadata is its smart scan feature. I also like that it supports higher capacities and it's high-performing, so my company can use Oracle Exadata for massive databases."
"Exadata with the In-Memory option is several levels about SAP HANA."
"Regarding features, there are so many that we can offer to customers. When we sell Exadata Cloud, there are many options to choose from, especially when it comes to enterprise database options. In my experience, the main features that are appreciated are various ones like GPS and the assortment of security options."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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 scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"The integration with third-party applications regarding access management security could be better."
"The technical support is in need of improvement."
"The performance could be improved."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"Certification should also be improved. Today, Oracle doesn't certify applications with engineered systems."
"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."
