We performed a comparison between IBM Netezza Performance Server and Oracle Database Appliance based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Distribution concurrency control."
"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 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 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."
"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 most valuable features of the IBM Netezza Performance Server are the NPS server because of the reduced maintenance and overall good performance."
"The solution is simple to use and easy to maintain."
"The product is very light."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The performance due to the all-flash of ODA is very nice."
"The initial setup was straightforward and quick - I was able to configure everything within an hour."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"Oracle has good technical support."
"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 only issue is that it's not expandable."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"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."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."
"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."
"Oracle's product support is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"Oracle Database Appliance could improve by having better integration."
"In my opinion only one single command should be used for all ODA models, as it’s confusing."
"If we were able to use Oracle Database to create mobile apps, that would be great. I don't know multiple languages, like Java, etc. I need to learn a separate language, right now in order to do this."
"The main thing would be to make ODA more affordable, to make it a more economical machine. Also, I would like to see virtualization, so you could implement all of your functions on one machine. Finally, improvement in the speed and performance would be good."
"Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive."
"Sometimes, we cannot upgrade or patch it easily. The performance needs to improve."
