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

"The flexible ways you can get to the data and the options that it gives you for backing up your valuable data are what make its offsite storage so valuable."
"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"Our enterprise data warehouse (EDW) runs on Teradata and it is the single version of truth for management decision-making and reporting."
"We are into DWBI (Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence) and Teradata is number one in the market for these solutions."
"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."
"The most important thing we get out of the product is the intelligence that we derive."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Teradata has allowed us to provide an online BI solution that no other player was able to do."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Basically, the only thing I do not like about it, it was keyed off Lotus Notes."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"I would like more security and speed."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"Any value this product provides is offset by the high cost and lack of scalability."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"I would not say it was very performance efficient, but it was definitely good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
"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's a very expensive product."
"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."
