Cons
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance.""The only issue is that it's not expandable.""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.""IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available.""The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough.""Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."

"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities.""Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
