Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."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 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 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."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"It's easy to use."
"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service is easy to use and implement."
"The solution overall is very, very good. It's got good integration with other databases and adds new features often."
"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is flexible and is an open-source product."
"The stability of the solution is very good. I wouldn't have used it for the past seven years if I was not satisfied."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The most valuable feature is the data aggregation function."
"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."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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 support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."
"Integrating business intelligence or NLP solutions would help us save time and would prevent us from having to take a deep dive. Data problems seem to multiply on the system when you interact with it. Automation would save a lot of man-hours."
"Sometimes MySQL does upgrades on the server. When we are still using the old server and when they integrate the upgrade, they don't carry along some of the old syntaxes. The versions don't sync."
"It requires a significant amount of expertise and effort to manage, especially when dealing with substantial volumes of data."
"The solution should offer memory management."
"The user interface is not simple."
"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."
"The tool’s stability must be improved."
