"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"I am editing."
"MariaDB is stable and the initial setup is straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution. It easily scales up and scales down."
"The solution has PL/SQL compatibility."
"The performance is very good."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is a cloud-based tool, so it is pretty fast."
"We like the easy way that we can collect data from other databases."
"It's a very easy product to set up."

"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"MariaDB's GUI is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"MariaDB could be improved by adding more automation."
"I would like to see a better user interface which would make the tool less complex."
"In the next release, I would like to see improvements in the scalability and redundancy features."
"It would be helpful if I could specify multiple drives for the database storage."
