We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly.""Distribution concurrency control.""The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format.""IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution.""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.""The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance.""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 analytics have been very good. We've found them to be quite useful.""I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW.""A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people.""The performance and scalability are awesome.""One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that.""The solution integrates well with Power BI.""The product is easy to use.""Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."

Cons
"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.""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.""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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server Cons →

"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away.""The solution could be improved by allowing for migration tools from other cloud services, including migration from Amazon Redshift, RDS, and Aurora.""An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud.""The solution lacks visibility options.""One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace.""It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects.""I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future.""My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."
  • "The pricing is very expensive. It has a lot CPUs with a lot of components in it. It also has built-in redundancy for resiliency reasons."
  • "The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."
  • More IBM Netezza Performance Server Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
  • "ROI is high."
  • "You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
  • "Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
  • "The solution's cost is reasonable."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
  • "The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
  • "The price depends on the configuration we choose."
