Parallel data processing streamlines operations while cost and cloud integration challenge adoption

The cost of the solution is on the more expensive side, which is a concern for me. Additionally, its promotion and interaction with cloud applications are limited. The cloud version is only available in AWS, and in the Middle East, it is not well-developed in the Azure environment. For the cost to be reduced, it should match competitors. Many features need to be incorporated on the cloud.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."

"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."

"It is stable when there is support from IBM."

"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."

"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 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."

"Distribution concurrency control."

"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."

"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."

Cons

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."

"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."

"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."

"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."

"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."

"The only issue is that it's not expandable."

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."

"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."

"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."

"The product cost is high compared to others in the market, and this cost has become unbearable for me."

"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."

"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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."

"The solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."

"Netezza is a costly solution. It does serve a specific purpose but it's costlier than what's available in the market, if you go to the cloud."

"The pricing is very expensive. It has a lot CPUs with a lot of components in it. It also has built-in redundancy for resiliency reasons."
