We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"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."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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 of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
