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."The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 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."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"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."
"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 only issue is that it's not expandable."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"Teradata is an expensive tool. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
