"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 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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"One of the best features is this solution is easy to use."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of MySQL is its reliability and performance."
"I use MySQL for employee service in an OLTP database."
"The solution is very stable."
"The feature that I have found most valuable is its ubiquity. MySQL is everywhere, so if I need to find a developer to do things to it that I don't know, it's very easy to find someone who has expertise in it."
"It has a community version. When I have to create a new database, I have no problems with licenses."
"I would use MySQL for a medium project, with around 1,00,000 hundred thousand users, because of the indexing and stored procedures."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"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."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"The GUI could improve to make MySQL better."
"Could use some additional JSON query support in the solution."
"The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions."
"There should be more tools to manage the on-premises version and more automation features."
"Its scalability can be better. It is probably not as scalable as Oracle. I had some issues with connectors. I used it from a C++ program, and it required some work to make it run, but finally, it worked."
"I would rate the stability a seven out of ten. It does break down a little at times."
"The licensing of the solution is on the expensive side."
"The only service which could be improved is its usability. The entire user experience needs to be revamped to meet the 2018 design standards."
