We performed a comparison between Teradata and Teradata IntelliFlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"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."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"It's very, very fast"
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"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 solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could 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 only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"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."
