Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format.""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.""Distribution concurrency control.""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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."

Cons
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance.""Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""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.""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.""Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server.""The only issue is that it's not expandable.""IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."

  • "The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."
