Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"I like that SAP ASE can match code and the database index to index data in the programming language. There are many other valuable features, such as the table buffer, tuning, and various control agents like dispatcher. SAP ASE can handle many different data types, including views, domains, data elements, structures, objects, and various table types that are most useful in the application. Its modularization technique is also handy."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"This is a wonderful database that is, in my opinion, underrated. Users are able to get the most out of my experience by taking advantage of its centralized environment."
"The actual interface is good."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"Provides very good integration."
"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."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"I think that the solution needs to be positioned better within the market as it appears as though the Adaptive Server is being left out of the SAP scope."
"SAP should refine its debugging method, and the process needs to be a little faster. It should use more Pragmas and fewer pseudocomments. I would like if SAP added more features based on advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence and voice control. The modularization and if-else techniques could also incorporate the latest technology to code and solve complex problems. The SAP Editor should be more elaborative, and it should allow many more types of statements for all uses."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
