Secure backups have simplified compliance and now provide immutable protection for cloud workloads
The best features that Clumio offers are the ability to know when a backup has completed, to know how to restore both files at the file level and also restore EBS backups, point-in-time restores, as well as snapshots. Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up. This peace of mind has translated into measurable outcomes as we adhere to NIST 800 compliance, and with that, we need immutable backups and the ability to have backups that do not exist within our existing tenants. Clumio fixes that problem for us.

Delivers consistent performance and enables advanced analytics across complex data environments
Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing and analyzing large volumes of data. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in highly demanding environments. One of its most notable strengths is the ability to run complex queries at high speed, which is essential for organizations that require timely and reliable analytics. Teradata offers a well-integrated ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow. Its focus on advanced analytics, integration with modern business intelligence tools, and the ability to operate both on-premise and in the cloud make it a versatile solution for data warehousing and large-scale processing. Teradata's stability, technological maturity, and the availability of strong documentation and best practices are noteworthy. I consider Teradata to be a tool with great potential for any organization looking to enhance its analytical capabilities, optimize data processing, and move toward more data-driven decision-making. Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing a large volume of data in different projects. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in high-demanding environments. A well-integrated AI ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow across different kinds of enterprises or organizations. The focus on advanced analytics integration with modern business intelligence tools is particularly valuable. Teradata combines a powerful parallel process and optimizing SQL engine with a highly scalable architecture allowing businesses to execute complex queries and analytics in real-time. It supports multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments, giving organizations flexibility to choose the setup that best aligns with their strategy. One of the biggest strengths is the ability to unify disparate data sources and support high concurrency, enabling different teams, such as analytics, operations, BI, and data science, to access consistent, trusted data across the enterprise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"It has improved our disaster recovery footprint; previously, backups were only stored on premises, and having an offsite backup improves our reliability and security."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Performance-wise, Teradata beats everything."
"We have SAP IQ data warehouse now and I don't have a major problem."
"It architects the databases well, right from data modelling, the correct appliance to be chosen, the queries hitting the system, strategic and tactical, and that business knowledge should be easy to understand to end developers."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"Teradata has immensely helped our organization to fetch the data at a faster rate, which has saved us quite a lot of time."
"Teradata offers great features; it is fast, faster compared to the previous applications that I used, and the scalability is good."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
 

Cons

"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"I was not a fan of the buy-up-front model due to the scaling of data size."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that while it was not part of my work, I found Teradata to be somewhat costlier when considering other options."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"The price of Teradata is expensive. However, what they deliver they are outstanding. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to run a database, this isn't your tool. It's the Ferrari of databases for data warehousing."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
