I would rate their technical support a 10 out of 10.
The escalation from first, second to third tier is sometimes very long-lasting, but the resolve rate is quite high.
 

Scalability Issues

Teradata offers exceptional scalability and speed, though some users face challenges with hardware requirements and scaling involvement.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform is highly scalable and adaptable, suitable for diverse enterprises but may have licensing cost implications.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
Teradata's scalability is great; it's been awesome.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.

Teradata is stable and reliable, with excellent uptime, minimal downtime, and seamless upgrades, though large dataset issues occur.
Sentiment score
7.8
Veeam Data Platform is highly reliable with minimal issues, praised for stability, quick issue resolution, and regular performance updates.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
There are no issues with stability in Veeam Data Platform.
 

Room For Improvement

Teradata requires cost-effective improvements in cloud integration, scalability, UI, data processing, analytics, compatibility, support, and pricing.
Veeam Data Platform needs better physical server support, cost optimization, and enhanced integration with storage, cloud, and user features.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts.
The improvement we would like to see is the option to scale Veeam Data up in smaller sections rather than large sections, which requires paying much more.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
OpenStack is something Veeam Data Platform doesn't support, and they haven't indicated that they will support it in the future.
 

Setup Cost

Teradata offers advanced features and cloud flexibility, though enterprises need careful cost-benefit analysis for its premium pricing.
Veeam Data Platform is competitively priced, offers straightforward licensing, and is valued for extensive features and ease of management.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
We spent roughly $295,000 on setup costs.
I don't consider the price expensive given its importance.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
 

Valuable Features

Teradata excels in fast query processing, scalability, robust security, and cross-platform integration, enhancing performance and reducing administrative effort.
Veeam Data Platform ensures data protection with easy management, fast recovery, security, and advanced features for IT environments.
Teradata's security helps our organization meet compliance requirements such as GDPR and IFRS, and it is particularly essential for revenue contracting or revenue recognition.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
Veeam Data Platform is valuable for its stability and the ability to easily contact support for assistance.

Featured Reviews

Kirk Robinson - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved data quality, optimized reporting processes, and enabled predictive insights across business units
The limitation we encountered was related to speed, prompting us to increase our AWS cloud thresholds and benchmarks on the servers, adding more throughput. We have been testing that, but speed remains one of our key issues. The integration has been awesome because of the platforms and their usage, and usability is great. The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts. If Teradata could provide a list of certified experts, that would be fantastic. I rated Teradata a nine because the main area for improvement is the bandwidth of resources that could assist us in applying to our projects, specifically more certified and expert resources. The market share of Teradata professionals is limited, creating an issue for us.
