We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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 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 performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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."
"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 memory is the solution's most valuable feature. It's the main feature of HANA. Others are still the regular IT databases that are on storage and are therefore much slower than HANA. The solution is quite fast."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"We can save data very easily."
"The most valuable features I have found are speed, dashboard, and reporting."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"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."
"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."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"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."
"There are a few areas wherein there could be a patch upgrade, and that can cover up the country-specific payroll areas."
"What needs improvement in SAP HANA is its automation, in particular, it needs more enhancements in that area."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"When you do a report on a non-SAP platform, you face some compatibility problems."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"The solution needs to work on its performance and make it faster."
"FI, or the financial module of SAP, has room for improvement. It has to have some better localization for the Middle East, especially in regards to taxes and the letter of credit cycle. I would like to see better localization from the HCM."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
