We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is scalable."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"It has a variety of options and support systems."
"Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"The solution helps us manage huge volumes of data."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"It is a stable program."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The dashboard management could be better. Right now, it's lacking a bit."
"As people are shifting from legacy solutions to other technologies, Amazon EMR needs to add more features that give more flexibility in managing user data."
"There is room for improvement in pricing."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"There is no need to pay extra for third-party software."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
