A cost-effective data warehousing tool, but security features like TDE encryption are missing

IBM Netezza Performance Server is a basic data warehousing tool we use for internal reporting IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution. Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server. I have been working with IBM Netezza…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."

"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."

"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."

"The main advantage is the storage is less expensive."

"The file system is a valuable feature."

"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."

"We're now able to store large volumes of data through Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop. We're able to push large volumes of data to the platform, and that used to be a challenge, especially when storing a terabyte of information. This is the area where Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop improved the organization."

"The most valuable feature is that I can use CDH for almost all use cases across all industries, including the financial sector, public sector, private retailers, and so on."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop pros

"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."

"Distribution concurrency control."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server pros

Cons

"This is a very expensive solution."

"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."

"The security of this solution could be improved. There should also be a way to basically have a blockchain enabled storage with the HDFS."

"There is a maximum of a one-gigabyte block size, which is an area of storage that can be improved upon."

"The initial setup of Cloudera is difficult."

"The price of this solution could be lowered."

"The one thing that we struggled with predominately was support. Because it was relatively new, support was always a big issue and I think it's still a bit of an ongoing concern with the team currently managing it."

"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop is not always completely stable in some cases, which can be a concern for big data solutions."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop cons

"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."

"The only issue is that it's not expandable."

"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."

"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."

"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."

"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price could be better for the product."

"It is an expensive product."

"The solution is expensive."

"I wouldn't recommend CDH to others because of its high cost."

"The price is very high. The solution is expensive."

"The tool is not expensive."

"Cloudera requires a license to use."

"The tool is expensive...For the SMB market or customers whose environments are not that complex and do not have multiple systems running, Cloudera might not be a good option."

More Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop pricing and cost advice

"The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."

"The pricing is very expensive. It has a lot CPUs with a lot of components in it. It also has built-in redundancy for resiliency reasons."

"Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."
