Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature for me is the policy management capabilities"
"It has increased the speed of reporting."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"The product is reliable."
 

Cons

"I would like to see more integration with different platforms."
"Azure Synapse SQL has evolved from a solely dedicated support tool to a data lake. It can store data from multiple systems, not just traditional database management systems. On the other hand, Teradata has limitations in loading flat files or unstructured data directly into its warehouse. In Azure Synapse SQL, we can implement machine learning using Python scripts. Additionally, Azure Synapse SQL offers advanced analytical capabilities compared to Teradata. Teradata is also expensive."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"The solution requires a license."
"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."
