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.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation
This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Teradata is great as far as scalability once you have the product."
"We switched because of TD distributed architecture and it is the best product for EDW."
"The best features Teradata offers, in my experience, include fast performance during multi-parallel processing, very good scalability, support for linear scalability, and its suitability for handling large volumes of data; additionally, it facilitates data integration, where we integrate and analyze data from various sources, making it a powerful and high-quality reliable solution for the company."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"
"The solution is mature and stable, even more so since it was acquired by TIBCO."
"The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products."
"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."
 

Cons

"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"I choose 8 out of 10 for Teradata because there is always the scope for improvement."
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"However, adding additional space once your disks are full in the past was expensive."
"I would like more security and speed."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."
"Live Datamart runs on JVM which only holds Java and only 60 GB of data. If you try to get more out of it than that, it crashes."
"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"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."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"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."
"It's a very expensive product."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"The price of Teradata is expensive. However, what they deliver they are outstanding. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to run a database, this isn't your tool. It's the Ferrari of databases for data warehousing."
"The solution might be considered a bit expensive because it competes with open-source products."
