Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution.""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 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.""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 most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."

"Data modeling is a valuable feature.""It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users.""A robust and efficient product.""The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features.""It is a robust system.""It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business.""Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."

Cons
"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.""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.""The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough.""Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""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.""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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server Cons →

"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us.""The product could provide more features.""Design and modeling could be simplified.""The program is difficult to learn to use""I think more integration with other applications would be perfect.""There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability.""Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
