We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Teradata 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."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 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 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 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."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
