Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, MongoDB and others in Database as a Service."The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"It is a stable program."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
