IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud vs SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse comparison

"It is stable when there is support from IBM."

"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."

"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."

"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger.​"

"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."

"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."

"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."

"Data modeling is a valuable feature."

"It is a robust system."

"A robust and efficient product."

"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."

"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."

"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."

"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."

"There are some limitations in adding data files to table spaces, and improvements are needed for regional support."

"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."

"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."

"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."

"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."

"Design and modeling could be simplified."

"The product could provide more features."

"The program is difficult to learn to use"

"If your going to go with warehouse DB/dashDB, use the cloud or Sailfish version."

"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."

"All SAP products are expensive."

"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."
