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

"The performance is the key item we appreciate, we're able to easily trigger jobs and we have access to integrations for running jobs, it's easy to use for the most part, which is why I really like it, it's stable and reliable."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It is the core of our fundamental real-time reporting and operational planning and has saved us over eight figures in the operational run costs, improved data quality and consistency as well as reduced our overall infrastructure support requirements."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"As it is a data warehousing solution, many reporting sessions and users can run simultaneously without much performance degradation."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"It has been fantastic for running complete data sets (no sampling required)."
"Provides ease of formulating a solution based on SQL-like queries."
"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."
 

Cons

"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"One challenge I have faced regarding the main use case is the integration with AI, as Teradata does not have the AI models that other OLAP systems such as BigQuery provide, making it difficult for us to give proper recommendations without using different tools for AI integration."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"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)."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"The Query Response time needs improving."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"We have struggled with uptime. Some of the features need to be updated."
"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."
"I would like to see more/better documentation. They also need to enhance analytic/data science algorithms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution requires a license."
"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"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."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
