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.

NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."

"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 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."

"Distribution concurrency control."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server pros

"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."

"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."

"The tool is easy to learn."

"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."

"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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

"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."

"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."

"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."

"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."

"The installation is difficult."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."

Overview

IBM Netezza appliances are now part of IBM PureSystems - expert integrated systems with built in expertise, integration by design and a simplified user experience. Part of the PureData family, the Netezza appliance is now known as the PureData System for Analytics. It has the same key design tenets of simplicity, speed, scalability and analytics power that was fundamental to Netezza appliances.

IBM

The Oracle NoSQL Database (ONDB) provides network-accessible multiterabyte distributed key/value pair storage with predictable latency. Data is stored in a very flexible key-value format, where the key consists of the combination of a major and minor key (represented as a string) and an associated value (represented as a JSON data format or opaque set of bytes). It offers full Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations, with adjustable durability and consistency guarantees. It also provides powerful and flexible transactional model that eases the application development.

The Oracle NoSQL Database is designed to be a highly available and extremely scalable system, with predictable levels of throughput and latency, while requiring minimal administrative interaction.
