IBM Cloud Pak for Data with Netezza is well suited for clients who require fast, economical analytics processing. It is not designed to be used as a transactional processing environment. For example, a large customer is using it during the point of sale process. That makes little sense in that business case. However, to take analysis to market faster, it excels well in that space.

Cons
IBM
  • This offering is currently available on prem, in Azure, and soon in AWS. GCP availability will be in the future as there is demand in the marketplace
  • The on premise offering starts with a Base + 0 model, which is a significant appliance. There are no 'mini' offerings as there were in the past.
  • At Destiny, we work closely with IBM to help our clients perform budgetary planning.

  • I would be nice to have a new web development environment for DataStage.
  • Connectivity Packs such as Pack for SAP Application are a little pricey.
  • It is confusing for new developers the possibility of developing jobs using different execution engines such as Parallel or Server.
