We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and IBM Netezza Performance Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two NoSQL Databases solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"I don't see any performance issues."
"Very good end-to-end security features."
"Provides a viable open-source solution for enterprise implementations and reliable, intelligent data analysis."
"We had a data warehouse before all the data. We can process a lot more data structures."
"Cloudera is a very manageable solution with good support."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"The solution is reliable and stable, it fits our requirements."
"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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The solution is not fit for on-premise distributions."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"There are multiple bugs when we update."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"I would like to see an improvement in how the solution helps me to handle the whole cluster."
"The user infrastructure and user interface needs to be improved, as well as the performance. The GUI needs to be better."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"There are better solutions out there that have more features than this one."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
