Addressing installation challenges to utilize interactive dashboards effectively
Posit is valuable because many geo-scientists I work with are more comfortable writing R scripts and using R Shiny, making it a suited choice for them. On top of that, it integrates with the application and database, creating interactive dashboards. While there's a need to manage a significant portion manually, the performance overall is stable.

Harnessing advanced parallelism for top performance while embracing cloud trends
Teradata is primarily used for data warehousing across all customers. My clients have built-in applications that use Teradata, and their use varies from customer to customer, depending on the industry and database size. The primary function is as an OLAP analytical ecosystem Scalability is…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have found Posit’s integration with R, such as the autocomplete feature and the help panel, to be invaluable."
"The most valuable feature of Posit is that it allows users to host different models in one place, making it easy to share with colleagues and teammates."
"Overall, I think Posit is a stable product."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"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'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."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"It's very, very fast"
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"It is a highly robust software solution."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
 

Cons

"Posit lacks a smooth solution for the build and release pipeline, requiring duplicate effort for production transitions."
"I would like to see improvements in SSH capabilities."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"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."
"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"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 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."
"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"The cost is significantly high."
"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
