Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high.""The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger.​""It will be MPP, so performance should improve."

"Distribution concurrency control.""The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance.""IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution.""The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format.""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.""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.""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."

Cons
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either.""Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues.""Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks.""Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough.""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.""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.""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.""IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
