Most cases are handled perfectly.
 

Scalability Issues

7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
Sentiment score
7.5
Veeam Data Platform allows seamless and flexible scalability across environments despite minor cost challenges, suiting varied enterprise sizes.
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.
It involves acquiring additional licenses as needed.
In order to scale Veeam Data Platform, we have to pay a lot more money.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
Sentiment score
7.9
Veeam Data Platform is stable, reliable, with minimal downtime, handling environments well, though large deployments may need support.
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 users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
Veeam Data Platform needs better integration, improved usability, fortified security, and simplified licensing to address pricing concerns and expand capabilities.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
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.
Compared to IBM, Veeam Data Platform is simpler but brings some challenges with automation in backup and Oracle backup configuration.
Reducing it by 20% would make it more accessible to a broader range of customers.
 

Setup Cost

Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
Veeam Data Platform offers competitive pricing with flexible licensing but can be costly, particularly for larger environments and cloud integration.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
I believe it is not expensive; it's the regular price.
Veeam Data Platform is more expensive than OpenStack because we pay for it in US dollars, while we pay for OpenStack in Egyptian pounds.
A reduction of 20% in the current cost would make the solution more attractive to clients.
 

Valuable Features

Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
Veeam Data Platform offers user-friendly management, rapid recovery, seamless integration, virtual backup, and strong data protection features.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.
The most important aspect of this platform is data security with immutable data in the storage.
The platform is user-friendly, comprehensive, and compatible with numerous market solutions, including virtualization and bare metal servers.
It is also one of the most scalable backup solutions I've worked with.
