IBM Spectrum Computing vs Netezza Analytics comparison

"The most valuable feature is the backup capability."

"We are satisfied with the technical support, we have no issues."

"This solution is working for both VTL and tape."

"The comparison was challenging, but the IBM Spectrum Scale offered a balanced solution. Our engineers rated itsanalytics capabilities equally high as Pure Storage. For workload management, Spectrum Computing provided effective solutions that met our needs. Workload management is part of a complete solution that uses different tools. There were the cloud and HPC parts; within HPC, there were parts like liquid cooling, simple computing, storage, and orchestration. The orchestration team handled the workload management."

"Easy to operate and use."

"Spectrum Computing's best features are its speed, robustness, and data processing and analysis."

"The most valuable aspect of the product is the policy driving resource management, to optimize the computing across data centers."

"IBM's ability to cluster compute resources is impressive, with built-in support for scenarios like VR and active-active configurations,"

"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."

"Speed contributes to large capacity."

"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."

"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."

"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."

"The most valuable feature is the performance."

"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."

"We have not been able to use deduplication."

"This solution is no longer managing tapes correctly."

"In Pakistan, IBM's disadvantage is the lack of OEM support and presence."

"Lack of sufficient documentation, particularly in Spanish."

"IBM's sales and support structure can be challenging."

"We'd like to see some AI model training for machine learning."

"SMB storage and HPC is not compatible and it should be supported by IBM Spectrum Computing."

"Spectrum Computing is lagging behind other products, most likely because it hasn't been shifted to the cloud."

"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."

"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."

"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."

"The Analytics feature should be simplified."

"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."

"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."

"Disaster recovery support. Because it was an appliance, and if you wanted to support disaster recovery, you needed to buy two."

"I'm not sure of IBM's roadmap currently, as the solution is coming up on its end of life."

"Spectrum Computing is one of the most expensive products on the market."

"This solution is expensive."

"The annual licensing fees are twenty-two percent of the product cost."

"For me, mainly, it reduces my costs. It's not only the appliance cost. There are also support costs and a maintenance costs. It does reduce the costs very drastically."

"Expensive to maintain compared to other solutions."
