IBM Netezza Performance Server vs MarkLogic comparison

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."

"MarkLogic's greatest asset is its strong engineering foundation. It was specifically designed with search capabilities in mind, and the developers placed a great emphasis on ensuring the quality of the indexing and all subsequent layers that were added."

"The rules can show us if there are missing items, like titles, and we can add them in to ensure everything is filled and makes sense and there are no missing details."

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

"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."

"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."

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."

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

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

"One of the most common requests is to improve the user interface of the database. While it is primarily a database, there are other databases available that offer more user-friendly interfaces. The UI is good for developers but not for regular users. More visuals would be beneficial."

"The spreadsheet capabilities could be improved."

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

"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."

"MarkLogic is a pricey option, but there are some advantages to its pricing structure. For medium-sized clients or departments within larger companies, it is possible to obtain a license for one or two nodes for less than a hundred thousand dollars. Additionally, if you only need to deploy a single node, you can do so for under fifty thousand dollars. This is in contrast to other high-quality software options that are only accessible to larger businesses, where the starting price can be upwards of two hundred thousand dollars."
