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.

Provides self-repair features, but the setup is complex

We use the product for online applications. We use it in the financial industry The product has self-repair features. The tool tunes itself. It separates compute from storage. We can scale storage and compute separately. The setup is complex. Oracle is a complex tool. I have been using Oracle…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."

"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."

"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."

"Parallel data processing is a significant feature for me."

"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."

"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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server pros

"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."

"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."

"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."

"It is a stable and scalable solution."

"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."

"The product is easy to use."

"The solution is used for analytics and it works for our data security needs."

Cons

"The only issue is that it's not expandable."

"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."

"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."

"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."

"The product cost is high compared to others in the market, and this cost has become unbearable for me."

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."

"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."

"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."

More IBM Netezza Performance Server cons

"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."

"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."

"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is not available as an on-premises solution."

"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."

"The solution lacks visibility options."

"It is very important the integration with other platforms be made to be as easy as it is with an on-premises deployment."

"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."

"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."

More Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"The price depends on the configuration we choose."

"In terms of architecture and pricing structure, I feel it is a little bit costly compared to Azure. It's fine compared to RedShift, but compared to Azure, it's a bit pricey when you calculate for one TB storage plus around five hours of reporting with the frequency of 1TB data. The cost adds up, making Oracle a bit expensive."

"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."

"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."

"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."

"The solution is expensive."
