Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good.""Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion.""IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."

Cons
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed.""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.""The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access.""The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved.""They should add more connectors to different platforms."

More Teradata IntelliFlex Cons →

"Performance of management of metadata layer (database catalog) needs improvement. We still have to have smaller customers on PostgreSQL; Vertica cannot manage thousands of schemata.""They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version.""Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server.""Documentation has become much better, but can always use some improvement.""Suboptimal projection design causes queries to not scale linearly.""Promotion/marketing must be improved, even though it is a very useful product at very good price, it is not as "popular" as it should be.""When it is about to reach the maximum storage capacity, it becomes slow.""I have found that coding support could be simplified."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
  • More Teradata IntelliFlex Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Work with a vendor, if possible, and take advantage of more aggressive discounts at mid-fiscal year (April) and fiscal year-end (October).​"
  • "It's free up to three nodes and 1TB, and then get in contact with their sales guys."
  • "Start with license per 1TB. Starting from hundreds of TB there is unlimited licensing to be considered. Move historical data to HDFS/S3 which are significantly cheaper or even free."
  • "The first TB is free and you can use all the Vertica features. After 1TB you have to pay for licensing. The product is worth it, but be aware of this condition, and plan. The compression ratio is explained in the documentation."
  • "I think it's starting to get a little expensive. Open source products are starting to get more robust, so I think that's something that they need to start looking at in terms of licensing."
  • "Read the fine print carefully."
  • "It is fast to purchase through the AWS Marketplace."
  • "The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
