IBM Netezza Performance Server vs Redis comparison

"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."

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

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

"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 feature would be the fact that it has been running for awhile in an appliance format."

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

"The best thing about Redis is its ability to handle large amounts of data without frequently hitting the database. You can store data in temporary memory, especially for high-volume data."

"I find Redis valuable primarily for its caching capabilities, particularly in handling cache requests effectively. Its simplicity in managing key-value pairs for caching is one of its strengths, making it a preferred choice over more complex databases like MongoDB for specific use cases. However, I haven't explored Redis extensively for managing complex data structures beyond caching, as MongoDB might be more suitable for such scenarios."

"The most valuable features of Redis are its ease of use and speed. It does not have access to the disc and it is fast."

"Redis acts as an in-memory search tool that improves the speed of operations."

"Redis provides an easy setup and operation process, allowing users to quickly connect and use it without hassle."

"The online interface is very fast and easy to use."

"Redis is a simple service that does what it promises."

"The product offers fast access to my database."

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

"Concurrency limit needs to be increased somewhat."

"LIke Teradata, we can’t add a node/SPU to the existing appliance."

"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."

"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."

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

"In future releases, I would like Redis to provide its users with an option like schema validation. Currently, the solution lacks to offer such functionality."

"It's actually quite expensive."

"The solution's pricing for a local installation is very expensive."

"There is a lack of documentation on the scalability of the solution."

"Redis could improve its efficiency in handling locally stored data, not just Amazon Cloud or Google Cloud."

"Redis presents a single point of failure and lacks fault tolerance."

"If we use a lot of data, it will eventually cost us a lot."

"Sometimes, we use Redis as a cluster, and the clusters can sometimes suffer some issues and bring some downtime to your application."

"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."

"The tool is open-source. There are no additional costs."

"Redis is an open-source solution. There are not any hidden fees."

"We saw an ROI. It made the processing of our transactions faster."

"Redis is an open-source product."

"Redis is not an overpriced solution."
