Featured Reviews

Shemal Gandhi - PeerSpot reviewer
A cost-effective data warehousing tool, but security features like TDE encryption are missing
The solution's maintenance is quite easy. One person is enough to maintain the solution. If you are using PostgreSQL as a database solution, then using IBM Netezza Performance Server is the logical choice since it is based on open-source Postgres. However, if you are using Oracle, data conversion can be tricky. So, in that case, you want to go ahead with Exadata. Overall, I rate IBM Netezza Performance Server a seven out of ten.
AdnanNaseem - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers built-in utilities and tools that simplify management
Oracle often releases updated versions of Database Appliance with improvements. However, I think Oracle should focus on further automating database management and IT-related tasks, such as backups. They've made progress with daily database stat automation, which is a good feature. Moreover, every product benefits from new functionality over time. I would like to see a centralized terminal where we can easily manage the database and its components with drag-and-drop functionality instead of relying solely on commands. So, I would like to see a centralized dashboard. Other areas of improvement include customer service and support, and scalability.
