"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 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."
"The most valuable feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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."
"The performance on the databases is good."
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"Exadata is also a very stable environment. Their Smart Scan feature is great for every banking environment and financial institutions willing to implement it."
"Parallelism is the most valuable feature."
"The product is flexible."
"Exadata is a fantastic machine. Two features stand out. The first is the resource input/output management tool that allows you to manage the resources to the neck on the Exadata box."
"This product can noticeably enhance performance of contextual Oracle databases."
"It is a highly relevant option with extreme performance."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"The only issue is that it's not expandable."
"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."
"Oracle Exadata's security features, like TDE encryption, are missing in IBM Netezza Performance Server."
"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server could improve its interface, support for big data, and APA-based connectivity should be available."
"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 technical support is in need of improvement."
"One small area for improvement in Oracle Exadata is integration, particularly at the consolidated application level."
"I believe Oracle must improve its procedure to support the clients. The customer Ready Service must provide more use cases and benchmarks of their infrastructure to support client design decisions. Oracle must audit their partners regularly to guarantee they provide quality service even after been passed on partnership examination."
"The solution lacks a visualized console."
"The customization can sometimes be difficult to achieve."
"The improvement could be made on the hardware level as the habit in the industry is to go better and faster and larger with every iteration."
"The solution's pricing is very high."
"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
