Delivers consistent performance and enables advanced analytics across complex data environments
Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing and analyzing large volumes of data. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in highly demanding environments. One of its most notable strengths is the ability to run complex queries at high speed, which is essential for organizations that require timely and reliable analytics. Teradata offers a well-integrated ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow. Its focus on advanced analytics, integration with modern business intelligence tools, and the ability to operate both on-premise and in the cloud make it a versatile solution for data warehousing and large-scale processing. Teradata's stability, technological maturity, and the availability of strong documentation and best practices are noteworthy. I consider Teradata to be a tool with great potential for any organization looking to enhance its analytical capabilities, optimize data processing, and move toward more data-driven decision-making. Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing a large volume of data in different projects. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in high-demanding environments. A well-integrated AI ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow across different kinds of enterprises or organizations. The focus on advanced analytics integration with modern business intelligence tools is particularly valuable. Teradata combines a powerful parallel process and optimizing SQL engine with a highly scalable architecture allowing businesses to execute complex queries and analytics in real-time. It supports multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments, giving organizations flexibility to choose the setup that best aligns with their strategy. One of the biggest strengths is the ability to unify disparate data sources and support high concurrency, enabling different teams, such as analytics, operations, BI, and data science, to access consistent, trusted data across the enterprise.

Runs complete data sets with no sampling, but we have struggled with uptime
I use Aster Analytics in our Marketing group for analyzing customer interactions and paths that lead to churn. We have a system with 50 hosts and 1680 CPUs All of our marketing data is in one place. Every analysis uses straightforward PostgreSQL. Speed is good now that we’ve upgraded hosts.…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Teradata has allowed us to provide an online BI solution that no other player was able to do."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"We are into DWBI (Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence) and Teradata is number one in the market for these solutions."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"It's very, very fast"
"Our customers say that Teradata makes them faster, smarter, and capable of more sophisticated analytics."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"nPath has made journey/path analysis much easier."
"It allowed for the rapid development of a solution delivered to the client, showing, for the specific use-case he had, monitoring defects."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"It's simple but costly."
"Teradata is an expensive tool. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions."
"The usability could be a bit better. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"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."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"I have found some problems with the figures depicted on graphs and figures shown, like scores which could not be negative but which were depicted as such."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
