Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"The solution is definitely very good for our consultancy on payroll and human resource."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Database are the Data Guard because it does replication and the integration layer, such as GoldenGate."
"The solution has every security aspect that needs to be there in enterprise software."
"The solution is very stable with the performance being very reliable."
"I found the ease of backup, partitioning, and robust indexing most valuable. The main feature of Oracle is the structure of the database. The way your backups are taken on the online backup system and the way it restores and handles partitioning of your data are also valuable. Its performance is great, and it is also very flexible."
"They continue to improve and are always introducing new features."
"There is a lot of functionality in Oracle Database. The reports and the GUI are good."
"It is a stable product. In terms of recovery, if there is a failure or some kind of fault, we can recover the data. We do not lose it."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution can be quite expensive for small and medium-sized enterprises. Not too many companies can actually afford the pricing."
"The connection can be slow due to the distance from the provider."
"The installation of the product could be designed to be simpler."
"The monitoring system is not very user friendly and could include a graphic interface."
"Customer support could be faster, you currently have to write your issue to them and then they will get back to you after 24-hours."
"We'd like for its price to be a bit lower, both for licensing and support. As it is a top-of-the-line product, it's a bit expensive."
"Their local support can be better. Local support is a challenge in Africa for all IT companies."
"The features should be communicated to end users in the proper way."
