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."
"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."
"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 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 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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"Designing the database is easy."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
