"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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 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."
"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 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 solution can easily be modeled."
"We are using the solution for the DW system. The primary function of the solution is for the database in memory."
"In comparison with other DMS solutions, it offers good performance."
"This is a feature-rich product and I like all of them."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it."
"It has a very huge bandwidth and data transfer."
"The UX experience is very good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"More standards would help in the future."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"The pricing is expensive."
