We performed a comparison between SAP IQ and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"It is a stable program."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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)."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
