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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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 feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"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."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"Designing the database is easy."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"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."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
