We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server, Oracle Exadata, and SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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 most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"Oracle is easy to use for peripheral things, such as the data vault and the data firewall, data sync, and partitions. These are the features that give an edge to other databases."
"The new Exadata x9m has an even higher speed of 100GBps connectivity."
"The data replication is very good."
"The product is flexible."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"The storage capacity and the performance of Oracle Exadata are good. When comparing the performance to other technologies it is very good. I am satisfied with the management of the solution."
"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."
"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."
"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
"It is a robust system."
"A robust and efficient product."
"Data modeling is a valuable feature."
"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."
"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."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"It's too expensive per terabyte. It's complex."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"There is room for improvement with the handling of the Temp IO, which is often used for JOIN statements."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"We need a monitoring tool which can in one place, where we can manage, monitor the entire Exadata components."
"Checking the Smart Scan issues is complicated."
"The product could provide more features."
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
