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."IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"It's very, very fast"
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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 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."
"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."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
