IBM Netezza Performance Server Review

It can run heavy CPU queries really fast, and this is valuable.

We have a lot of “campaign” queries that run for our clinical analytical area and this product seems to work well for them.

While some queries do run very fast, you cannot load up the box with several queries.

We've used TwinFin for over four years and Striper for around one-and-a-half.

It does not scale like other databases and expect them to run at the same time.

Netezza does not scale like other databases, so it cannot run several queries at once.

It's good.

It was pretty straightforward, but we had to get several areas involved in initial setup.

We worked with the vendor to implement it.

It is a pretty expensive solution, but it is worth it for the right environment.
