Sentiment score
8.1
Teradata improved speed, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, achieving significant ROI, enhanced analytics, and reduced staffing needs for users.
Sentiment score
5.3
Veritas NetBackup Appliance enhances efficiency with deduplication, saving storage costs, and providing ransomware protection, though not ideal for small setups.
We have realized a return on investment, with a reduction of staff from 27 to eight, and our current return on investment is approximately 14%.
The immutability feature ensures customers do not incur costs in case of ransomware, allowing for a safe restore, which means they are avoiding ransom payments, and that is a big win for the customer.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance has helped reduce costs by 30% and has improved operational efficiency.

Teradata support is highly rated for professionalism and resources, though some users note slow response times and technical support challenges.

Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement.
The technical support from Teradata is quite advanced.
Their support is good, with technical teams available 24/7.
Veritas has a very good support infrastructure with trained engineers.
I contacted their support once, and the process was slow, which discouraged further contact.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata offers exceptional scalability and speed, though some users face challenges with hardware requirements and scaling involvement.
Sentiment score
7.4
Veritas NetBackup Appliance excels in scalable data management for enterprises, though expansion and cloud flexibility incur additional costs.
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.
I would rate the scalability of the product as a nine out of ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.3
Teradata is stable and reliable, with excellent uptime, minimal downtime, and seamless upgrades, though large dataset issues occur.
Sentiment score
8.1
Veritas NetBackup Appliance is highly rated for stability and reliability, despite occasional recovery complexities and upgrade challenges.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
I am satisfied with its performance and would rate it ten out of ten for stability.
They do lab tests before releasing any patch, so currently, the product is stable.
 

Room For Improvement

Teradata requires cost-effective improvements in cloud integration, scalability, UI, data processing, analytics, compatibility, support, and pricing.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance needs a more intuitive interface, improved recovery, better cloud integration, and enhanced scalability and security.
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.
Improving the interface could enhance user experience.
The only room for improvement is that the cost per terabyte is extremely high.
I believe they can do more to give customers more insight into their data, allowing them to see it and understand what they can do, such as archiving old data.
 

Setup Cost

Teradata offers advanced features and cloud flexibility, though enterprises need careful cost-benefit analysis for its premium pricing.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance pricing is high but competitive due to features, with satisfied users rating six to nine out of ten.
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.
It's more costly than Commvault, which offers similar features at 70% of the price.
The price is slightly expensive for small and medium enterprises.
The cost of the product is reasonably priced.
 

Valuable Features

Teradata excels in fast query processing, scalability, robust security, and cross-platform integration, enhancing performance and reducing administrative effort.
Veritas NetBackup Appliance offers high-speed backup, integration, scalability, ease of use, strong protection, and cost-effectiveness for enterprises.
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 biggest advantage is that I do not need to manage backups on traditional tapes, which helps maintain total business continuity.
It integrates with monitoring tools like Splunk and supports automation through Python, Shell, or Ansible.
The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications.

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.
Ahmed Handal - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhanced data retention and recovery with robust backup features
The Oracle Agent and Oracle RAC support are valuable features; they are crucial for taking backups and cloning applications. NetBackup Appliance has many features. Backup Exec is a great product as well. NetBackup is well-developed with strong features, including deduplication technology, which allows us to retain backups for longer periods—exceeding our expectations by keeping backups for almost a month. It's effective for data recovery and capable of handling large-scale data recoveries. It is very stable and keeps applications secure. However, the AI integration is not yet tested.
