We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and IBM Netezza Performance Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."It's very secure."
"Your iOS, your throughputs, your performance cycles, you cannot touch it with Microsoft or with Oracle scalability-wise. That is far and away the most scalable systems and the highest performing systems of the set of them."
"The solution is very stable, in both hardware and database."
"Scales well enough for a relational database."
"The self-management and optimization features are probably the best on the market"
"I believe that because the support is good, they jump in and assist us in determining the root cause."
"The setup process has become much easier recently."
"Some of the most valuable features are the scaling from a small very cheap installation to a very large enterprise installation. In addition, the backups and assistance are good."
"Distribution concurrency control."
"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."
"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."
"IBM Netezza Performance Server is a cost-effective solution."
"The performance is most important to me, and it helps our ability to make business decisions quickly."
"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 command line part of this solution could be much better."
"I would like to see better support for advanced analytics."
"I would like to see some artificial intelligence brought into the solution."
"The technical support team is not very good when compared to the efficiency of Oracle's support."
"The user interface is not user-friendly."
"Some of the internal rearrangement in the administration is not as straightforward as it is in competing products."
"The ease of use, or ease of management, could be improved."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"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."
"The scalability is not as expected. The capacity in the black box is not enough."
"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."
"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."
