Room For Improvement

IBM Netezza needs better scalability, concurrency, integration, query optimization, monitoring, and reduced costs to overcome growth and usability challenges.
MongoDB requires better BI integration, SQL queries, security, stability, scalability, cost-efficiency, and improved documentation and training resources.
The cloud version is only available in AWS, and in the Middle East, it is not well-developed in the Azure environment.
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
 

Setup Cost

IBM Netezza Performance Server is costly yet valuable for enterprises needing robust analytics, scalability, and built-in redundancy.
MongoDB offers affordable options compared to Oracle, with cost-effective cloud subscriptions but potentially pricier on-premises features.
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
