Shemal Gandhi
A cost-effective data warehousing tool, but security features like TDE encryption are missing
Anonymous User
​No other solution came close to this product's speed and tech support is on a really high level
Before we had our own in-house developed DB, now we can focus on our solutions and take a real-time DB as good as a working black box.
Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."
  • "The pricing is very expensive. It has a lot CPUs with a lot of components in it. It also has built-in redundancy for resiliency reasons."
  • "The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."

    Netezza vs. Teradata
    Original published at https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/should-i-choose-net Two leading Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architectures for Data Warehousing (DW) are IBM PureData System for Analytics (formerly Netezza) and Teradata. I thought talking about the similarities and differences would be useful to decision makers who may need to choose or recommend one technology over the other. A few years ago, I evaluated the viability of Netezza and Teradata (shortly before the Aster Data acquisition), to meet my company’s DW needs. Both Netezza and Teradata follow the relational database paradigm and use table joins. My recommendation was Netezza, based on the particular DW use case and Netezza’s MPP architecture, in-database analytics, low DBA maintenance and price. Bottom line, Netezza costs less to own and operate, and is easier to manage. If your DW environment doesn’t need to support many thousands of users or ever increasing volumes of data, then Netezza is an excellent choice. Teradata scales better but is also more expensive and requires more skilled DBA labor. I recently spoke with a VP who migrated off Teradata to Netezza because Teradata was too expensive and required a lot more DBA effort than his company’s needs required. In this post, I’ll contrast the two technologies at a Database Architect or Designer level of understanding. I’ll first point out some similarities, then highlight a few important differences.

    Overview
    IBM Netezza appliances are now part of IBM PureSystems - expert integrated systems with built in expertise, integration by design and a simplified user experience. Part of the PureData family, the Netezza appliance is now known as the PureData System for Analytics. It has the same key design tenets of simplicity, speed, scalability and analytics power that was fundamental to Netezza appliances.

    IBM solidDB is a relational database server that combines the high performance of in-memory tables with the nearly unlimited capacity of disk-based tables.

    Pure in-memory databases are fast, but strictly limited by the size of memory. Pure disk-based databases allow nearly unlimited amounts of storage, but their performance is dominated by disk access. Even if the computer has enough memory to store the entire database in memory buffers, database servers that are designed for disk-based tables can be slow because the data structures that are optimal for disk-based tables are far from being optimal for in-memory tables. The solidDB solution is to provide a single hybrid database server that contains two optimized engines inside it:

    • The main-memory engine (MME) is optimized for in-memory access.
    • The disk-based engine (DBE) is optimized for disk-based access.

    Both engines coexist inside the same server process, and a single SQL statement can access data from both engines.
