Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
7.1
IBM Netezza Performance Server boosted productivity, reduced costs, and enhanced business intelligence, achieving positive outcomes and high returns.
Sentiment score
5.1
Experiences with MongoDB Enterprise Advanced's ROI vary, with some noting gains and others facing cost-related challenges; opinions differ.
Actually, with MongoDB, it's difficult to calculate the return on investment; it's too expensive for our use.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.4
IBM Netezza's customer service is prompt but technical support response and cost affect satisfaction, leading to variable ratings.
Sentiment score
6.2
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced offers technical support, with varying feedback, while many rely on community resources for issue resolution.
Technical support is very costly for me, accounting for twenty-five to thirty percent of the product cost.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.1
IBM Netezza Performance Server faces scalability issues with appliance limitations, effective for set operations but not individual tasks.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is scalable and adaptable, though users face challenges with manual scaling, sharding, and cost concerns.
It is provided as a pre-configured box, and scaling is not an option.
CosmoDB is better for auto-scale.
Overall, on a scale of one to ten, I would rate MongoDB an eight; it's mostly because we're still running a monolithic environment on old hardware, so there are some limitations with read-write access.
MongoDB is highly scalable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.8
IBM Netezza Performance Server is stable with minimal outages, relying on proper query design and offering effective IBM support.
Sentiment score
7.6
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is highly stable and reliable, with few users experiencing minor bugs or stability issues.
 

Room For Improvement

IBM Netezza needs better scalability, concurrency, integration, query optimization, monitoring, and reduced costs to overcome growth and usability challenges.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced requires security, scalability, integration, and UI improvements, along with better documentation and support for enhanced usability.
The cloud version is only available in AWS, and in the Middle East, it is not well-developed in the Azure environment.
We have not contracted the security options in our contract because they're too expensive; thus, we implement just encrypted databases and not the security pack.
While solutions for other databases like SQL or PostgreSQL already exist, MongoDB requires additional integrations for developing AI solutions.
 

Setup Cost

IBM Netezza Performance Server is costly yet valuable for enterprises needing robust analytics, scalability, and built-in redundancy.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced is competitively priced against Oracle, with cloud options more affordable and ideal for large-scale operations.
We have to pay approximately 2,000 euros per month for MongoDB.
We use the free version of MongoDB, so there are no licensing costs.
 

Valuable Features

IBM Netezza Performance Server provides fast data processing, easy management, and enhances analytics with high performance and low maintenance.
MongoDB Enterprise Advanced provides scalable, flexible NoSQL solutions, offering fast performance, robust security, and easy integration for efficient data management.
It operates as a high-speed data warehouse, which is essential for handling big data.
In ReplicaSet, it's acceptable, but if your workload needs more performance, and you must pass to a Sharding model, it becomes complicated in MongoDB; in Cosmos DB, however, it's simple.
MongoDB has definitely helped us improve our network monitoring and reporting dashboard.
It offers flexibility in schema adaptation, allowing us to change the schema and add new data points.

Featured Reviews

Shiv Subramaniam Koduvayur - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
