Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
It can scale out horizontally as well as vertically, and the availability of expansion is very quick.
Azure Backup solution offers faster restoration for data over six terabytes compared to on-premises.
It is highly scalable, evidenced by its ability to handle significant throughput.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Rubrik is praised for high reliability, robust performance, and effective support, making it a preferred choice for seamless operations.
Sentiment score
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
Rubrik has been stable, and we have not experienced any downtime.
The prerequisite dependencies with the cost team site, infrastructure, port opening, and adding the complete Rubrik console module take time, depending on the volume of servers and storage occupancy.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
 

Room For Improvement

Rubrik needs UI improvements, cost efficiency, better integration, enhanced security, multi-tenant support, and more comprehensive backup options.
Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
Including packaged training with the product at the time of purchase would be beneficial.
I need a better output from the existing reports as they currently do not provide comprehensive metrics.
The remainder still needs improvement, particularly in providing technical support.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

Rubrik is a premium solution with high costs, offering good value and scalability for medium to large enterprises.
Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
There are no extra expansions or expenses after purchasing the product.
Regarding pricing, Rubrik is a costly solution, and I would rate it an eight.
Rubrik is considered expensive, with a price rating of three out of ten.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
 

Valuable Features

Rubrik excels with instant recovery, intuitive interface, strong security, cloud support, and SLA-driven automation for seamless IT operations.
Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
The most valuable feature of Rubrik is its concept of a 'backup airbag', which provides a robust defense against attacks.
Since switching to Rubrik, our backup times have decreased significantly, going from two and a half days to one and a half hours for certain systems.
Even if my network is compromised by ransomware, the file system does not allow overwriting of the backups, ensuring that my backups remain safe.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.

Optimal data security and management achieved with smooth deployment and strong support
I plan to expand the number of users for Rubrik in the future. Currently, I have approximately 10 to 12 customers on Rubrik, as we are partners to Rubrik and a service provider, SIS. I am working with large to medium organizations, not small ones. Regarding Artificial Intelligence, Rubrik is in the initial phase, and I am expecting more from them. I can give them seven out of ten for their improvements in that area. I would recommend Rubrik to other organizations because it is easy to install, easy to manage, and very compact in terms of a solution, with good support from Rubrik. These features allow it to match from small scale to large scale customers very easily. The number of people who usually take part in maintenance from my side depends on the customer size. For large customers, we involve four to five people, but for small customers, one person is enough. I rate Rubrik eight out of ten.
