The technical support from Teradata is quite advanced.
Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.6
Talend Data Management Platform offers strong scalability, integrating with cloud and Docker, suitable for large-scale enterprise operations.
Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata offers exceptional scalability and speed, though some users face challenges with hardware requirements and scaling involvement.
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.
Teradata's scalability is great; it's been awesome.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.1
Talend Data Management Platform is stable and reliable, but issues may arise with upgrades, performance, and external systems.
Sentiment score
8.3
Teradata is stable and reliable, with excellent uptime, minimal downtime, and seamless upgrades, though large dataset issues occur.
We have not encountered many issues with remote engines, and the interfaces are properly developed.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
 

Room For Improvement

Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
Teradata requires cost-effective improvements in cloud integration, scalability, UI, data processing, analytics, compatibility, support, and pricing.
On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something.
Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.
The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
Teradata offers advanced features and cloud flexibility, though enterprises need careful cost-benefit analysis for its premium pricing.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
We spent roughly $295,000 on setup costs.
 

Valuable Features

Talend Data Management Platform offers high-performance data integration, real-time access, advanced monitoring, and user-friendly features for efficient operations.
Teradata excels in fast query processing, scalability, robust security, and cross-platform integration, enhancing performance and reducing administrative effort.
I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers.
Teradata's security helps our organization meet compliance requirements such as GDPR and IFRS, and it is particularly essential for revenue contracting or revenue recognition.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.

Featured Reviews

Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.
Kirk Robinson - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved data quality, optimized reporting processes, and enabled predictive insights across business units
The limitation we encountered was related to speed, prompting us to increase our AWS cloud thresholds and benchmarks on the servers, adding more throughput. We have been testing that, but speed remains one of our key issues. The integration has been awesome because of the platforms and their usage, and usability is great. The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts. If Teradata could provide a list of certified experts, that would be fantastic. I rated Teradata a nine because the main area for improvement is the bandwidth of resources that could assist us in applying to our projects, specifically more certified and expert resources. The market share of Teradata professionals is limited, creating an issue for us.
