    MonetDB
    MonetDB is great when you are performing adhoc queries on a large set of data. For example, if you store data in a typical RDBMS such as MySQL or Postgres and want to join large tables for analytics but the query runs unacceptably slow then MonetDB can act as a second database to offload complex queries. Based on my experience, it may not be a production-ready database since there aren't many DBAs familiar with it and due to lack of documentation, maintenance can become a little tricky.

    Cons

    MonetDB
    • This is an open source software so there are obvious drawbacks, the biggest of which is a lack of documentation.
    • MonetDB does not seem to be well known outside of the academic environment so there is less information when you are searching for answers of any type.
    • I'd like to see more use cases and/or best practices so that commercial companies like ours can optimally use all of its highly performant features.
    • The code is written in C/C++ and this can be negative if you are a mainly java-shop and need UDF - User Defined Function.

    Netezza is sufficient against similar products. It comes down to personal preference, I'd love to have the data objects popping up as I type but some people may not like it.

    MonetDB
    We have used Five9 in my previous company but on a much smaller scale. It was more expensive, however we were using it for a max of 50 employees, now we need a much bigger platform. We also used Five9 for other things, like phone dialers etc. so it was a little different.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The appliance is all in one so we have all licenses and support contracts under one roof.
    • The cost is expensive so ROI may take time to be realized.
    • If done correctly, then Netezza provides the opportunity for huge ROI.

    MonetDB
    • If you are familiar with a general database concept and played with open source products before then MonetDB will give you immediate return in terms of productivity since developers can quickly develop and verify their test cases involving back-end database with a large sample data set.
    • There is a stiff learning curve due to lack of documentation and sparse information available on the internet.
    • Overall experience has been positive since MonetDB gives you another option when it comes to building out a data warehouse.
