Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies
The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming. Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"I like writing preformance queries for preprocessing on AWS Cloud."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."
"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."
"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."
"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."
 

Cons

"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. ​"
"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."
"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."
"There is room for improvement in query tuning."
"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Teradata is a very expensive solution."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The cost of running Teradata is quite high, but you get a good return on investment."
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
