We performed a comparison between Exasol and IBM Netezza Performance Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"It is easy to scale."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"Its speed is great."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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 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 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."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"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."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"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 scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
