We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Oracle Java DB based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."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 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."
"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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 solution is stable."
"It has a programming language so anything that we require for Selenium is all available there."
"The additional value of having Java inside the Oracle database is all the security that is applied to an Oracle database will be enforced on Java's stored procedures as well."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"Able to write queries more efficiently and the management of data has become better and easier."
"There have been no issues in relation to stability. We've never really had do to any recoveries. It is very stable."
"It's very clever."
"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 only issue is that it's not expandable."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"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 biggest lesson that I have learned from using Oracle products is vendor lock-in."
"Needs improvement in consistency issues with respect to timeframes."
"The solution could be more user-friendly."
"In terms of improvement, I'd like an automation tool that is lower priced. The core prices are very high."
"It'll be better if Oracle Java supports open source technologies, like Node.js."
"The solution should continue to keep updating and improving the Java language."
