A cost-effective data warehousing tool, but security features like TDE encryption are missing
IBM Netezza Performance Server is a basic data warehousing tool we use for internal reporting IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution. Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server. I have been working with IBM Netezza…

We use it for a medium-sized company and for databases. The database is installed on it because it's best for the database. Efficiency and performance are good for the database as compared to other servers. I work on different general sites, website applications, servers, Linux, etc. Oracle…

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 most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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 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."
"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 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."
More IBM Netezza Performance Server pros
"Oracle Database Appliance provides high stability."
"The main feature is the management and manageability of the tool. We can create a VM on a laptop within a couple of clicks."
"Oracle is a stable database."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."
"The most valuable features are related to engineering systems, where Oracle acts as a hyperconverged infrastructure."
"The solution is stable. The product is scalable. The technical support is very helpful. The initial setup is straightforward. I consider the product a strong solution for our customers."
"The database is solid."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
More Oracle Database Appliance pros
 

Cons

"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
More IBM Netezza Performance Server cons
"The solution's initial setup is not easy."
"Virtualization features could also be improved. A web-based GUI would be a good start."
"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve."
"The product's pricing is too high. We plan to migrate to another database in three to four years."
"They could incorporate a more secure and internet-centric management system for the platform."
"Oracle Database Appliance patching comes out two to three months after the regular patching cycle."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
More Oracle Database Appliance cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Oracle’s pricing is ridiculously high."
"The solution may be expensive, but when we consider the problems it solves, the stability it provides, and the fact that we don't have to buy separate parts and assemble them into a system, it becomes more affordable."
"Oracle Database Appliance is a very expensive solution. If you have opted for the on-premises licenses from Oracle, then you have to pay yearly. If you have opted for the cloud subscriptions offered by Oracle, then you can pay either monthly or yearly."
"Oracle Database Application's support and maintenance are included in the contract."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"The price of the solution should be less expensive. However, they will increase the price more."
"In regards to licensing, it is cheaper to maintain for Oracle applications, and it's an all-in-one solution."
"Leverage the Pay-As-You-Grow licensing, and consider using the ODA X6-2 S/M/L models also for SE2/SE."
