Great granular DOM level with excellent analytics and reporting
There are three valuable areas: One of them is the granular DOM level where it captures behaviors on the application. Another is the analytics, because you don't need to provide it with a rule to identify the issues, it will analyze the usage of all the customers accessing that site and see if there are any abnormalities and it will identify unexpected changes in the pattern and that there is something wrong that needs to be checked out. That is extremely useful. Finally, the ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories. The reports enable you to re-target customers if they've had any problems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ability to create meaningful reports and dashboards to tell stories."
"It is quick, secure, and has less hassles because we don't have to involve our networking team, infrastructure, etc. It is very easy to deploy and make market ready."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
 

Cons

"The technical side requires development skills during implementation. This could be simplified."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I would like more security and speed."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"I would like more security and speed."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"Teradata pricing is fine, and it's competitive with all the legacy models. On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I'm giving Teradata a three, because it can be a little expensive, when compared to other solutions."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
