Executive SummaryUpdated on Sep 30, 2025

Teradata and Zoho Analytics are competing in the data analytics and warehousing space. Teradata holds an advantage in handling vast data volumes effectively due to its robust architecture, whereas Zoho Analytics excels in user-friendly integrations and flexible dashboard creation.

Features: Teradata's strength lies in its "Parallel Everything" design and massive parallel processing architecture, enabling efficient data mining, geospatial, and temporal analytics. It manages multi-source data effectively and executes complex queries with high speed. Zoho Analytics is valued for its seamless integration with other Zoho products, its flexible and intuitive dashboard creation, and the capability to automate reporting, providing a wide range of visualization tools.

Room for Improvement: Teradata faces challenges like high pricing, limited cloud flexibility, and slower adaptation to new technologies compared to other platforms. Its complex architecture demands significant investment in hardware for scalability. Zoho Analytics could enhance its data processing power and improve its user interface for greater intuitiveness. There is also a need for more advanced reporting features and quicker adaptation to customer feedback for improvements.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Teradata typically deploys in on-premises and hybrid cloud environments with traditional architecture, indicating challenges in cloud integration. Its technical support is considered responsive; however, complex issues may face delays in resolution. Zoho Analytics is praised for its deployment flexibility across various cloud options, offering an easy setup experience. Its customer service is rated highly for swift responses and effective issue resolution, although there is some room for improvement in technical support responsiveness.

Pricing and ROI: Teradata is recognized for superior performance but carries a high cost, suiting larger organizations capable of leveraging its full capabilities. Despite substantial initial investment, users report a favorable ROI due to enhanced analytics abilities. Zoho Analytics presents a more affordable option with pricing models appealing to smaller businesses seeking cost-effective solutions. Its ROI is considered high, particularly for users integrating multiple Zoho products, offering substantial value for the money invested.

Room For Improvement

Teradata requires cost-effective improvements in cloud integration, scalability, UI, data processing, analytics, compatibility, support, and pricing.
Zoho Analytics needs improvements in graph options, interface, integrations, AI insights, SQL editor, pricing, customization, performance, and reliability.
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.
For more quotes and insights, download the Teradata report
The collaborative features of Zoho Analytics have faced one issue: they have tried to reduce the sync time with most Zoho applications, but even with CRM, the sync still takes one hour.
While Power BI uses Power Query, an intuitive and powerful tool that allows data manipulation in any way, Zoho Analytics has limitations.
Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.

Setup Cost

Teradata offers advanced features and cloud flexibility, though enterprises need careful cost-benefit analysis for its premium pricing.
Zoho Analytics offers flexible, competitively priced plans, especially valuable when bundled with Zoho One, against costlier analytics tools.
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.

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.

Experience with advanced analytics and visualization features boosts decision making
I think the team would know how to predict what needs to be improved. Every business has its own predictions, so providing specific fields based on which to calculate predictions would be helpful. The analytics plans are very complex because they depend on the users, while other Zoho plans operate on a per-user basis. The analytics plan has different features for one user, 10 users, and 25 users. Having to pay for 25 users when only 11 are needed creates an issue with the pricing structure.
