Teradata boosts analytics speed over 100%, enhancing customer service and satisfaction, with high ROI and user approval.

Customer Service

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery support is praised for responsiveness, effectiveness, and enterprise-level assistance, though a formal ticket system is desired.

7.1
Teradata's customer service is praised for expertise but criticized for delays, with ratings ranging from 6 to 10 out of 10.
In case of any issue, they are ready to provide support within the defined SLA timeline.
The technical support from Teradata is quite advanced.
Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement.
 

Scalability Issues

7.4
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is highly scalable, with efficient automation, easy upgrades, and strong user confidence in its scalability.
Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is reliable, though dependent on bandwidth, with occasional agent resets on Linux and cost concerns.
Sentiment score
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
It is very good and very reliable.
AWS is not difficult, but the cost associated with replicating data to another region can be significant.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
 

Room For Improvement

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery needs automation, integration, cost optimization, user enhancements, and improved documentation for better efficiency and user-friendliness.
Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
This would detail user activity directly in the ACL console for easier debugging and auditing.
In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is seen as fair value with cost-saving options, though cumulative and alternative costs should be evaluated.
Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
 

Valuable Features

AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery provides cost-effective, scalable data protection and seamless integration, enhancing reliability, flexibility, and ease of deployment.
Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Service is a native service, integration is seamless.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.

Managed services with seamless integration and good reliability
Since I have to view everything on the console, the previous application solutions like IBM and Sanavi showed the RPO and RTO status directly. In AWS Disaster Recovery Service, these details are not available, making it difficult to check my replication status. I have to calculate whether my data is replicated to the Adarabad region or not. These features, if available in AWS, would be beneficial.
