"It is easy to scale."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"Its speed is great."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"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."
"The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"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."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
