IBM Netezza Performance Server vs. SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)

We can query the data source and treat multiple databases
as one with IBM Netezza Performance Server.



While delivering fast and reliable analytical performance, the IBM Netezza Performance Server requires minimal configuration and ongoing
management.



To drive organizational performance, Netezza Performance
Server automatically simplifies data and AI to centralize all analytics
activities on the device, exactly where the data resides.



For data processing and application dashboards, IBM Netezza
Performance Server is quite beneficial.





IBM Netezza Performance Server simplifies event setup
by notifying you when a hardware component fails, allowing you to quickly
replace it.

We use this for an inbuilt security management system, where it performs well in a scaled setup with a large volume of live data with high availability. Also, the performance is up to the mark for the large statement flow. From a DBA perspective, a lot of parameters need to be fine-tuned for the specific environment needs, which can cause overhead. Expertise is limited, and the learning curve is steep for the SAP ASE.

• More tech support may make it easier as it is only limited to be done via company representatives
• Overhead cost for replacements and services looks like it is high compared to others
• Integration with other cloud based application will be great

Incentivized

• A quick button for devs to switch instances into a dev mode (eliminating logs, and such).
• Licensing is far too complicated. Simplify pricing.

Incentivized

Our licenses are perpetual. It is the support that we will be renewing. We will renew because we continue to use and receive value from the product.

Well-suited in the security domain, high performance, and low latency of the DBMS. In terms of the DBA perspective, a dedicated monitoring tool (Cockpit) helps a lot in terms of managing the database, which helps in identifying bottlenecks during performance issues. Also, it helps us to send custom alerts related to Database activities.

• 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.

• Ease of database administration.
• Sometimes upgrades can be difficult.
• Changing platforms can be difficult (changing say from SPARC to Intel).
• Changing operating systems can be difficult (changing from Solaris to linux).
