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 most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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 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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"It is a stable program."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"Designing the database is easy."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"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)."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
