My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing indicates that while it was not part of my work, I found Teradata to be somewhat costlier when considering other options.

Our experience with pricing included a staged pricing model based on units and servers, the cost per subscription, and the data usage, which involved about five different points in our pricing model. We spent roughly $295,000 on setup costs, and we have a five-year license.
Teradata is high-quality at a premium price. Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.

The pricing is quite high. It's a two out of ten where one is very high priced. Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Teradata is an expensive tool. Teradata, along with Informatica, is expensive. Teradata is still widely used in the Middle East, especially in banks across Dubai and Saudi Arabia, indicating its continued relevance. Compared to open-source solutions and other market offerings, Teradata remains on the higher end of the pricing spectrum. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions.

The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000.
I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive.

Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive.
