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

Azure Backup struggles with interface complexity, high costs, limited database support, slow restores, and inadequate multi-cloud flexibility.
Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
It is not a perfect tool for restoring SQL databases since it requires replacing everything instead of restoring specific files.
The reporting functionality of Azure Backup needs improvement.
The area that I believe needs improvement in Azure Backup is the restoring time.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

Azure Backup is viewed as moderately priced, offering value with a pay-as-you-go model but can be costly.
Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
Azure Backup is expensive relative to the value we get from it.
The pricing of Azure Backup is fine; it is a low-cost solution.
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

Azure Backup provides secure, cost-effective cloud integration with easy configuration, robust scalability, and efficient recovery, enhancing disaster recovery capabilities.
Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
The most valuable feature of Azure Backup is its simplicity.
It has a good impact on our cost savings and operational efficiency as it is a low-cost solution.
We use the normal features for Azure Backup, specifically to make backups of the VMs.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.
