We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and MariaDB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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 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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 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."
"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."
"It's easy to set up."
"The speed and functionality are the most valuable features."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable."
"From a customer perspective, MariaDB is a good choice for cluster configuration. It's also easy to operate and cheap."
"MariaDB can solve things better than MySQL. Maria DB has better performance than MySQL."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."
"I like the global transaction IDs (GTIDs) feature. It's quite reliable for replication between a master and a replica server, and it's a feature that MySQL also has but implemented differently."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"I'd like to see improved materialized views, like the ability to save select queries. This feature is missing in MariaDB compared to other relational databases like Oracle and SQL Server."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"The scaling for database online transactions needs improvement."
"I’m not sure if it can scale."
"MariaDB doesn't handle long or complex SQL queries quite as well as Oracle Database."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"Data continuity could be improved."
