We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"The key advantages are Performance when processing Terabytes of data and scalability."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"It's very, very fast"
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
