Easy to work and offers features for tape backups, disk backups, and whatever you want
NovaStor NovaBACKUP is still working on new features because they listen to the customers and integrate their needs into new versions. You can see they make progress with each new version. They are much faster than IBM, where you sometimes have to wait years for new features. It is very quick and fast. NovaStor have big competitors like Veeam, which is very fast and aggressive. It's good, but it depends on the price. I think NovaStor might be cheaper. They have a direct connection to their developers and sales teams, which makes getting answers very fast. Veeam has a lot of features, like a special reporting tool. However, I've heard from some customers that Veeam wasn't always the right decision because it couldn't work with their environment. But Veeam has aggressive marketing, which is why they are probably in first place at the moment, besides Commvault. IBM has lost its competitive edge and is trying to catch up, but it might be too late.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's the easiest way to configure it."
"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"The tool's most valuable feature is the warehousing model."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"I like writing preformance queries for preprocessing on AWS Cloud."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"Designing the database is easy."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
 

Cons

"The room for improvement lies in the compatibility of NovaBACKUP with older operating systems."
"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Teradata is an expensive tool. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"The cost of running Teradata is quite high, but you get a good return on investment."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
