"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It is a stable program."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."

"Citus Data needs to improve its stability. Do not consider this product if you have the budget. It is still developing and has a lot of issues."
"There are many areas of improvement , especially in terms of DDL query routing. Even though it's masterless, DDL queries need to be sent to the coordinator node. Also, setting up a multi-node environment could be more straightforward."
"More features in monitoring and the reporting could make it better."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."

"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
