Ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class
The deployment process is very fast. We have prepared the product to be easily installed, and we have had successful cases where it could be implemented in less than a few weeks. Moreover, Around three or four people in a call center are involved in maintaining the solution. We have a project manager, a service manager, and at least two or three system analysts who handle the maintenance. If there are any issues, we can open a support ticket for them to address.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"It is a highly robust software solution."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
 

Cons

"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The primary challenge with Teradata lies in its cost structure, encompassing subscription fees, software licenses, and hardware expenses."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"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."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"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."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The cost is significantly high."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
