We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution.""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.""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.""The most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance.""Distribution concurrency control.""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 most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."

"Creates the ability to visualize outputs.""As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time.""Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."

Cons
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server.""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.""The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough.""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.""Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat.""The only issue is that it's not expandable.""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."

"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general.""There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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 solution has a yearly licensing fee, and users have to pay extra for support."
