We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the most valuable feature to be its availability."
"The solution's initial setup is straightforward."
"Your iOS, your throughputs, your performance cycles, you cannot touch it with Microsoft or with Oracle scalability-wise. That is far and away the most scalable systems and the highest performing systems of the set of them."
"The solution can scale."
"The performance of the solution is valuable."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is its stability. We have never had any problems and have never had to contact technical support."
"Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"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."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"The price should be lower."
"There could be more user-friendly tools with features such as drag-and-drop functionality, visual basics, and low-code capabilities."
"They should develop its containerized version."
"The solution could be more modern and have updated database technology."
"In terms of improvements, IBM Db2 can improve its interface and its functionality. Also, the embedded functions should be much richer than the current ones - the functions which are embedded in the engine itself."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"I would say that the tool has to be made more cloud-friendly and should have agreements with AWS, Microsoft, or Google to run things on hyperscalers."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
