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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 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 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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"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."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
