Great MPP Data Warehouse Appliance

  • October 18, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like that Netezza is an old player in the DW world. They were one of the first to come out with a commercially available Data Warehouse Appliance. They've also made great improvements along the way. The sheer processing power of the appliance makes most jobs run without any issues. The analytic functions provided have also proven to be very useful. It is also easy to set up a distribution key so you know how the data is being sharded across all the nodes. Another thing I like are the CLI tools. NZLOAD for example has been an integral part of our near real time load process. NZMIGRATE has proven to be a great database copy tool. I could go on, but there are definitely some great tools included with this product. I would recommend to at least speak with an IBM representative to see if this Appliance is right for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the SQL language Netezza uses (it's a PostreSQL variant) can get a little annoying. But if you're used to PostreSQL you can certainly get up and running.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Most of the data that sits on our Netezza Appliance is an Operational Data Store that feeds Data Marts for our Marketing department. The end users then use Cognos to consume the data. This has proven to be a good solution. They're able to access their data quickly and in an efficient manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Knit a tight relationship with IBM Netezza support. They've been really helpful in proposing solutions and upgrades.

Getting lost in the cloud

  • June 06, 2016
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is straightforward interface, useful when I just want to dump out data and process it in C or R.
What do you dislike about the product?
It needs a more powerful query builder and a more updated GUI.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of large transactional databases. It is the front end for more detailed statistical analysis. I use other tools when I want to do more processing SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Our company is moving to the cloud, and we are dropping Netezza.
