We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and MySQL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"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 most valuable feature of MySQL is auto-scaling."
"MySQL is a scalable tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"MySQL is a popular database platform for businesses because it is extremely easy to use."
"MySQL is a light database. It's not very complex. It's easy to develop, easy to maintain, and easy to back up and restore."
"When comparing MySQL to other solutions it is easier to use and boots up faster. Additionally, when you want to query a lot of data, MySQL is better in performance."
"MySQL is open-source. There are a lot of open-source communities trying to come up with their own patches, and to come up with their own features, which help MySQL develop faster than traditional databases like Oracle, which is closed source."
"The fact that it is free is what appeals to me the most."
"MySQL's most significant attribute is its capability to create, modify, and maintain databases. This is crucial and advantageous in procedures, such as SOAR. Therefore, all SQL functions are beneficial to any backend developer or developer who requires data storage."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"MySQL could introduce more indexing strategies."
"The interface could be improved."
"On the database side, it should be really lightweight, and the data structure should be like MongoDB."
"In an upcoming release, there should be something added similar to EPL. For example, when using the flow diagram, we can create a schema. We have two useful features to add or create the table, but there should be some UI features to allow us to drag and drop to create other schemas. This would be very helpful."
"At times, the autoscaling does not happen when there is a surge in load."
"The auto-tuning and NDB cluster has some limitations regarding foreign keys."
