We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 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 solution is extremely stable. That's the most important aspect of the solution, for our organization. There is no downtime, and the performance is very good."
"Eases management of databases."
"The product's initial setup phase was really easy."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"It is difficult for me to narrow down what the best features are in SAP HANA because they work together to provide the overall functionality of the solution. However, the Fiori application is very good."
"This solution is very fast."
"I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis."
"SAP HANA's most valuable features are monitoring, reporting, and price and stock control."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"You cannot apply mulit-join inside the calculation views, for example, when you are joining tables."
"They should develop and improve the solution's data management system."
"The solution could improve by having better migration flexibility. For example, it would be helpful if there was a way for customers could check their nonproduction and production deployments."
"I think that the pricing is high and it needs improvement."
"The initial setup was very, very complex, tedious, and costly and required someone with great expertise to complete it."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"It's a complex initial setup."
