Its query performance and speed.
Earlier there was high latency to query extraction but Netezza has improved the speed for all OLAP operations. This has helped the organization to get the business answers right on time.
I've used it for four years.
There’s only been one, where data slices were corrupted soon after the deployment but IBM has fixed it in a perfect manner.
No issues encountered.
We didn’t have many scalability issues, except when it touches the PB storage data and we need to move it to external storage. Netezzas’ highest model storage capacity is 1.2 PB.
Great, 8/10.
Technical Support:Great, 8/10.
We have previously used Microsoft SQL server, but we switched because our business wants fast and reliable appliance like Netezza. Although MS SQL server is reliable but Netezza is known for it's MPP and performance when compared to other RDBMS appliances.
Straightforward.
An IBM team deployed it for us, and they were 9/10.
Business questions are answered much quicker than what we use to do it earlier.
The Netezza appliance is bit costly for a mid-sized organization but highly effective on the performance side and for structured data.
We also looked at Oracle and SQL Server.
I don’t want to be biased but it all depends on the business requirement because there are many models for it, which range from 7.8 TB to 1.2 PB (uncompressed). If the business has done a feasibility check on Netezza for their scalability plus the growth and they found it to be within their estimates then I would suggest that they have taken off from the right runway.
