User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
 

Cons

"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"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."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The cost is significantly high."
"In the past, it turned out that other solutions, in order to provide the full range of abilities that the Teradata platform provides plus the migration costs, would end up costing more than Teradata does."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
