Teradata is not a difficult product to work with, especially since they offer you technical support at all levels if you just ask. There are some features that may cause difficulties - for example, the modeling ones may need you to have some additional skills because they…

American Airlines is one of the most famous clients of Teradata. My organization operates within the transportation sector, and I think this solution is also suitable for Healthcare Manufacturing Telecommunications I think Teradata is useful for companies within these…

I have spoken to my colleagues about this comparison and in our collective opinion, the reason why some people may declare Teradata better than Oracle is the pricing. Both solutions are quite similar, however Oracle may get pricey, especially if your company is on the…

I definitely do not think a beginner can set up SAP HANA. For the organization I worked at, we set up the solution and had to migrate a very large amount of data from a competitor of SAP HANA. This not only took a long time, but it gave us a few complications. However, we…

We have been using SAP HANA for a fairly short period of time and have only taken advantage of their customer support. So far, we have not had issues that required specialized help from technical support, so I cannot judge how that is carried out. However, I have personally…

For me, SAP HANA has several benefits Speed Scale Flexibility Because of the way the solution stores data, it can resolve queries within seconds, even when it comes to large-scale applications. The product is very scalable, as it allows organizations to continue utilizing…

One thing I would improve related to MySQL is not within the product itself, but with the guides to it. Before, when it was free, everyone was on their own, seeking tutorials and how-to videos online. But now Oracle owns it, and they are well-known for their Oracle…

The biggest advantage of upgrading to paid versions of MySQL is to get more features. My company first started by using the free version, to test it out and see whether it was beneficial and effective enough for our company. It proved to be very valuable and so we went ahead…

MySQL encrypts connections to protect your data and the biggest benefit from this is that nobody can corrupt it. If you move information over a network without encryption, you are endangering it, making it possible for others outside of your associates to access it. If you…

We use it as data storage and benefit from its NoSQL capabilities. This is a strong relational database management system that lets us access many services on demand. We benefit from its flexible transactions and utilize it daily. Another thing we really value at my company…

Undoubtedly, Oracle Database is a top product in its category. But it does have its disadvantages, and for me and my organization, that has been the limitations of the product. When it comes to Oracle Database, as with all Oracle products, you are bound to come across…

I have experience in two different companies that ran Oracle Database in two completely different ways 1. One ran it through Oracle MySQL HeatWave, which was beneficial for us because it saved us from time- and money-consuming data movement and integration with a separate…

My company connects through SQL Server authentication. We have company Windows accounts, but we do not want to connect the two, out of security concerns and to keep things separated for our own purposes. Through this authentication method, you create a new password and…

SQL Server is fairly priced because it has various editions, depending on the number of users, servers, or core packs you are using. If you compare the product to others in this category, the prices are pretty similar. I think what is pricey is the subscriptions and add-ons…

I am not part of the IT department so I can not tell you in great detail about the technical improvements it has made for our company. I speak from personal experience when I say this product has been valuable in terms of log shipping. This is something I can personally…

Compared to similar solutions, AWS Database Migration Service falls somewhere in the middle price-wise, at least from my experience. This being said, it is not a very affordable solution, especially if you are a smaller company and looking for a tool that can easily migrate…

I am a big fan of AWS products and services, so I would definitely recommend AWS DMS. However, my first choice for a cloud data integration tool would actually be another AWS product - AWS Glue. Unlike AWS DMS, which is mainly for migration purposes, AWS Glue provides many…

As with all AWS products, you are given very useful documentation with AWS Database Migration Service. Before we started using this product, we went over it and we were able to learn the basics and set it up without help from technical support. From there, AWS DMS is pretty…

I got curious and checked what industries has Informatica listed as users of its cloud data integration platform. The list is quite long, actually, but among it are sectors like Automotive Education and research Engineering and construction Financial services - banking…

The support that Informatica Cloud Data Integration offers is very helpful. We had some issues with the setup of the product, as our team was not experienced with cloud data integration tools. We contacted the technical support of the solution, and in a very short time…

Informatica Cloud Data Integration can provide you with many benefits but if I have to sum it up, it offers simpler, faster, and very affordable cloud data integration. You can connect source and target data with thousands of connectors and facilitate running complex…

Denodo is suitable for pretty much all sectors that deal with Big data Cloud solutions Data governance Logical data fabric Master data management In my opinion, organizations in different fields can utilize this product and take advantage of its many services and…

There are two things I would change about Denodo if I could Price Scalability For my organization, this product comes off as quite pricey. We were using Denodo Professional, the cheapest package, but it is too limiting so we switched to Denodo Enterprise, and we enjoy…

If you are a Denodo user, it makes sense to undergo their training. Different types of professionals can benefit from it, including administrators, developers, and architects. If you are keen on it, you can even receive certification and prove your mastery in two levels…

AWS Glue is compatible with other data stores and data targets; however, it does work best with Amazon's native products. I do not intend to say that the product is limited - it works fine with third parties. But it was made to be compatible with AWS products and this gives…

AWS Glue can definitely be challenging for beginners. I have worked with various AWS products, as well as with other cloud data integration tools, so for me, starting to work with this one did not cause difficulties. However, several of my teammates who were beginners to…

There are various uses for AWS Glue, including Simplification of ETL pipeline development Effective data discovery Interactive exploration, experimentation on, and processing of data Supporting various frameworks and workloads I feel like the best thing all AWS products…

I feel Mule Anypoint Platform's price is more than fair. First, you can get a good glimpse of the solution and its capabilities for a whole month, as the company provides you with a free trial. You can determine if you really need this product and whether it serves its…

Mule Anypoint Platform has so many features, it makes it extremely difficult to pick favorites. That on its own can tell you what a good product it is. And it’s not only the quantity but also for the high level of quality services it provides. The solution comes with more…

This is a very flexible solution that comes with multiple uses. My organization mostly uses Mule Anypoint Platform for API management, as it lets us build new APIs easily and design new interfaces for existing ones. They also provide Process APIs, System APIs, and…

In my opinion, it only matters that you integrate your data, not the way you do it. In previous places where I have worked, I have integrated data the conventional way, through specialized tools that offer reliable solutions. In my current company, we decided to try what…

For me, the most important aspects of a cloud data integration tool are data cleaning, preparation, and integrity. This data integration method is known to struggle with ETL on certain occasions, so the times that I have selected such tools, my first job was always to check…

There are several reasons why cloud data integration is important, in my opinion. Some of them include It provides system reliability It reduces costs It improves business processes and decision-making Let me elaborate. First, when you rely only on your IT system, how…

Google Cloud is fairly priced because it lets you pay for what you use. This, of course, means that some users pay a lot more than others, but that makes sense if they are using more features. In that way, you are not limited by set pricing forever, you can switch – add or…

I think it all depends on your personal preference and the needs of your organization. For me personally, Google Cloud overtakes AWS, as it offers more features that I use. For starters, if you already rely on other Google services and applications, it is natural to want to…

Ideally, you should have both skill badges and certifications if you actively work with Google Cloud. The difference between the two is Google Cloud skill badges are earned when testing your skills for the platform Google Cloud certifications are earned after an exam…

We have a very experienced technical team, so for us setting up SAP Cloud Platform was very easy. We did not seek external help for it, as we could count on our professionals. However, if you have not used a similar solution, you may find it tricky, and it may be a good idea…

I tried to think of any issues, but so far it seems we have had a seamless run of SAP Cloud Platform. I cannot think of what I would improve regarding my own work with it. However, I can point out something that can be confusing or difficult to master, especially if you are…

Since SAP announced the creation of BTP, we have been discussing it, and our decision, for now, is to try the new platform and see how we like it. I suspect things can go in two ways - we either remain using the features of SAP Cloud Platform through BTP and even use more of…

The customer support of Oracle Cloud Platform is reliable; they have answered our questions and proven useful in the past. However, I have my concerns about the technical support. In the past, we have contacted them for several issues and their reactions could be improved…

I would recommend Oracle Cloud Platform for migrating workloads from customers from on-premise to the cloud, as this is what my organization uses it primarily for. I personally value this product highly because of its simple infrastructure - it is very useful when you are…

I have attended courses for Oracle Cloud Platform, and I think while they are worth it, they are not necessary for everyone. If you are curious, start with the free tutorials they offer; from there you can get an idea if these courses are for you or not. In general, they…

The primary use case for OpenShift at my company is for running applications on the platform. Our developers deploy containerized applications on it but beyond that, we have offices in multiple locations across the globe. This solution helps us to manage the infrastructure…

My company pays for the Standard plan from the self-managed editions of OpenShift. For me, the price is reasonable, especially considering how much you get with it. But it all depends on the size of your company and your subscription choices, so it may vary. We have chosen…

One of OpenShift’s main marketing points is how easily it integrates, and that is because it really does. It is easy to set up - you can run it without too much preparation and within no time, you can connect it to the needed sources and platforms to do your work. It works…

I work at a company for developing games, so we utilize the functions of Amazon AWS related to that the most. There is Amazon GameLift, which is a dedicated game server host, GameSpark, which lets you build game backends, and my personal favorite - Lumberyard - a free…

I think Amazon AWS is more than suitable for beginners, especially because of the extensive resources there are related to it. First, you have the ones provided by the platform itself - there alone you can learn to work with it pretty efficiently. But thanks to being…

I am preparing to take my exam and earn this certification in the near future. For me, this is a way to showcase that I have experience and knowledge in one of the most popular and widely used cloud services. I think that no matter which level you are aiming for -…

Yes, you can absolutely use this platform to share your virtual training content with your employees. If you can't find a suitable course already on the platform, or you want to create your own, you're able to do it and then you can even share it with users outside the…

Hello, we use Skillshare where I work to provide workers with skill-enhancement virtual training. We don't use it necessarily for skills that they need for the workplace, though we've done that also - they've got great web development courses which we've utilized in the…

Hi, you can use Skillshare for free but only for a limited period. They offer a free trial and then you must pay to continue using their services. And they are very generous with their offer because when you sign up for premium, you get a whole month of free courses! In 30…

Hi, I've used the courses of Pluralsight as a part of my company's virtual training for Linux administration. That's why I didn't pay anything for it, it was given at the company's expense for me and my teammates to upgrade our skills and improve our training in this…

No, the courses aren't free on Pluralsight. Instead, they've got two payment options, for individuals and for teams, and then it's monthly or yearly. Do you need some course for your own benefit or you're looking for it for your company? Because last time I checked, it's…

Hello, Pluralsight is great for virtual training for the tech industry. It gives you such a vast library of courses, that you may be wondering where to start from first. We've used it for virtual training purposes for our employees and I can tell you that it really helped…

Hello, what's your area of expertise? Because Skillsoft really offers a vast variety of courses, and it may cover what you need. You've got information technology, sales, business, and management. It's good for many things, it just depends on what you want to educate your…

No, they aren't the same thing. One is the parent company of the other. In short, Skillsoft created Percipio to extend its virtual training services and be able to give companies more opportunities for training their employees. Though they serve a similar purpose, you can…

Hello, Skillsoft is popular as a whole solution because it provides companies of all sizes with the ability to train and maintain a high level of efficiency in the workplace. This is one of the established players in the field and if you're looking for a virtual training…

Hello, my organization uses the services of SAP Litmos to create virtual training sessions for our employees. That's why I can tell you that this tool does amazing work, as it really helps us train our new recruits as well as fill in our current employees with the company's…

In my experience, SAP Litmos is one of the best virtual training platforms for beginners. Its user interface is not complex at all; you can navigate it just as easily if you're a beginner as if you were a trained expert. Everything you need to make a virtual training course…

Hello, yes, SAP Litmos really lets you track the progress of your trainees and see how they're learning and if the process is efficient enough or not. There's a function for tracking and reporting, and through it, you can track your trainees' achievements and activity and…

Hello, I think that Cornerstone is more than suitable for virtual training. For one, it gives you a really big array of tools and customizations to be able to deliver your employees high-quality training that assesses their needs and improves their performance. I've been…

Yes, Cornerstone Learning gives amazing reports. You can count on its features to see the performance of your training program, as well as of your trainees, and through it, be able to assess their needs better and fix any issues. The tool comes with various APIs and…

I think the organizational management of Cornerstone Learning is great. My organization uses this learning software and the way different content types are managed is very useful for our training process. You can easily access different content types through different…

I think the biggest challenge of virtual training is the communication barrier. Sure, there are many platforms, programs, and other helpful technologies for it, but in my experience, it's not as good as doing it in person. Of course, it depends on several factors - the…

The purpose of virtual training is to be able to provide your employees with adequate learning material without meeting in person. As seen since the start of the COVID 19 pandemic, companies really need to be flexible with their employee management and if they can’t adapt…

In my experience, virtual training is more efficient than in-person training when you compare them. Why? Well, because everyone can do it in their own time - you don't have to waste your personal time or cut into your workday and then make up for it later. Instead, you can…

You can use this low-code solution for many things, including Full stack development Development to deployment Cloud-native architecture Employment of AI Basically, OutSystems allows you to build quality applications in a much faster time space than hand coding. And to do…

We started using OutSystems fairly recently, so we are still on the free version of it. My company is still testing how we like the platform, but so far, we have been satisfied with it and will likely move on to a paid version. We are not at an enterprise level so we will…

I had to go to their website and check, but they have put the following industries as the top ones – Banking Government Healthcare Insurance Higher education They have very detailed case studies where you can see why they may be useful for the listed industries or others.…

Appian offers personalized plans for users, so you cannot really compare it to other competitors with set prices. The Application plan has a set price but then the Platform and Unlimited ones are based on custom quotes. We were using Application for a while but needed to…

I would be surprised if it was that difficult for anyone to set up Appian. The process is pretty self-explanatory, especially if you are working on the cloud. If you set it up on premises, there may be a longer wait time, and it requires certain hardware. But overall, no…

Appian is actually pretty big on educating its users, including with courses that reward you with certifications. There is a whole section on their company’s website where you can check out the educational resources they provide, including different types of courses and…

Salesforce Platform is great for everyone who is looking to create prototypes of their products quickly. But I also recommend it because of the high levels of security it provides. You can build applications and websites and even target enterprise clients confidently because…

I work at a big organization, and we pay for Platform Plus - the more expensive version of Salesforce Platform. We were using Platform Starter before, however, it became inefficient for our growing needs, so we upgraded to the pricier version. Now we have more features and…

I have used both builders from Salesforce Platform. It all depends on your needs and what you aim to create. When my company first started using this tool, we were utilizing the pro-code features the most, taking advantage of the fact that all coding languages could be used…

Pega BPM can be considered overpriced for some; it all depends on the size of your company and the requirements of your customers. Sure, there are products out there that do the things that Pega BPM does, and some may even do more. I have used this one, as well as other BPM…

I have not encountered issues while using Pega BPM, but I have had questions since this tool is the first of its kind that I am using. When my colleagues with more IT knowledge than me could not assist me, I turned to the customer support of Pega. You have to make a ticket…

You do need some preparation to be able to use all functions of Pega BPM. However, all users of this platform are in luck as it comes with good documentation and you can learn pretty much everything. I think once you go through it, most of your questions, being a beginner or…

I think Microsoft Power Apps can replace a developer for websites and applications that do not require features that are too complex. This solution is built to help regular users make apps for mobile and web as well as websites without the help of specialists. For that, it…

Microsoft Power Apps is created to facilitate the business but can definitely be helpful for developers as well. On one hand, this is great for rapid application development, because developers can quickly create prototypes on it and work for a final product once the client…

My company has used all three app builders from this product and the price is more than fair. I think the best thing about this solution is actually the different builders. They not only allow people with different levels of developer skills to try and build apps, but each…

In my experience, this method Increases productivity Improves quality Enhances customer satisfaction. These alone are good reasons why rapid application development is important. But beyond them, this method is also crucial for risk reduction. By presenting prototypes,…

Obviously tech companies use rapid application development most often, however, I believe some other sectors are picking up this methodology now as well. In particular, I think RAD is quite beneficial and is being utilized by The automobile industry The online retail…

Rapid application development is most suitable for projects you need to produce quickly, even if you do not deliver the final version. My company uses it for websites the most, and sometimes for applications too. When you decide to use RAD you go through the following steps…

I don’t think it’s difficult to install and operate at all. I’m not a developer, I have some computer skills but before Appcues I hadn’t worked with such a platform, and I still got used to it pretty quickly. On their website, they have a little guide on how to install…

Hello. You can use videos and images to visualize the software you’re training for in your product tours. Do you know how to code? They give you this customization option so you can add code in CSS and upgrade the templates they're providing you and add all kinds of elements…

No, they aren’t all available, you have to pay more if you want to use all the features they have. They have three types of plans: the Essentials, Growth, and Enterprise plans. For the first two there are prices on the website and the last is personalized. The plans…

AppLearn ADOPT does give you detailed insights - not only predictions of how the new software will influence your future, but also it helps you monitor the behavior of users and measure the success of the digital adoption. That's what you're asking about, right? They do have…

Hi, I work in a place where AppLearn ADOPT was used to drive digital adoption through employee education for more effective use of the software. However, I got curious after your ask so after a quick consultation with the web and their own site, I found out this - they say…

Hi, this digital adoption system gives personalized prices for each client. That’s why you might get a different price than the one we got at my company because your needs are probably different, and this means that you'll be the one estimating how fair AppLearn is priced…

Hi, we use Whatfix for digital transformation. We wanted to educate our employees on new technologies we brought into the workplace, helping our company become more digital from its conventional practices. The most effective way we found was through a digital adoption…

Hello, Whatfix creates custom offers for each customer, based on requirements and usage. This means that there isn't a fixed price you can find online, but rather you will pay for what you want to get, which, in my experience, is much better. They offer packages for small…

If you mean how can you start using it as soon as possible - after payment you just have to install their browser extension and you’re good to go. As far as I know, they offer only Chrome and Firefox browser extensions, though you may need to look it up if this has changed…

Hi, I think that this digital adoption platform is suitable for pretty much everybody. You can train your associates, be they students, employees, customers, or partners, through Oracle Guided Learning. I think this is possible because of the versatile functions and tools it…

Hi, I have used this digital adoption platform in the past and for me, it's pretty much on the same level as the competitors. It's efficient, gives you different features to manage it, and where I worked, it helped with teaching employees how technology in the workspace…

While you don’t need Oracle Guided Learning to use Oracle, you may be able to benefit from the cloud services a lot more if you choose to use the digital adoption platform. Let me elaborate. Oracle Guided Learning, just like any similar platform, is created to simplify…

Hello, a walkthrough by WalkMe is a detailed process explanation of certain software. The process is useful for overcoming business challenges, such as technology adoption, regulatory compliance, corporate governance, and internal communications. The walkthrough process has…

WalkMe is a digital adoption platform that works with Salesforce to help users gain more insight and help customers with a better digital journey. What you essentially do is implement Salesforce with WalkMe and then benefit from all the features it gives to users. For…

WalkMe doesn't publicly advertise its pricing, you'll have to go and get a quote to learn that for yourself. But here's something to help with your question - they do have different prices, separated between employee experience and customer experience. So for the customer…

There are different strategies for digital adoption. Some of them include investing in digital adoption strategies in order to conduct proper training and ensure further support, providing each user with an individualized approach, taking into consideration their personal…

Hi, in my opinion, digital adoption is important for your business’ productivity, as it can increase it, alongside efficiency, immensely. Say you’ve got new software and it’s the best on the market, but your employees just don’t know how to use it to its full potential…

The best driver for successful digital adoption is the right platform, or DAP, for it. You should of course start by introducing your product in detail, explaining how it works, etc. but that’s truly not enough, especially if some of your employees aren’t so knowledgeable in…

Panzura offers four main products: CloudFS, data services, smart apps, and global services. They call this "all-in-one solution" and it's for end-to-end cloud data management. Why is it called that? Because they offer you so many features for the efficient management of your…

Hi, so after a quick look into the Panzura official website, here's the answer to your question. This product serves the following industries, including: banking, financial services, and insurance, healthcare, and life sciences, manufacturing, architecture, engineering and…

I think Panzura may change in a positive direction now that it's been bought by Profile Capital. That's a very big investment company for technology businesses and I think it's an opportunity for Panzura to provide its users with even better solutions. Maybe it won't change…

Hi, in my opinion, NetApp Cloud Backup is fairly priced. But you can actually try their services for a whole month for free, and then decide if you think the payment will be fair for what they're giving you or not. And when you're on the trial you'll be using an unlimited…

I've just started using NetApp Cloud Backup but my initial reason behind choosing it in the first place is that they advertise their high-security approach. So basically, they give you ransomware protection which I think everyone knows how essential it is when your data is…

This protection by NetApp Cloud Backup works to ensure that users can benefit from the most popular backup strategy with the same name. How NetApp Cloud Backup does that is first by its pure existence - an additional source for your data outside the ONTAP (number three of…

No, this service is not provided for free by AWS. If you visit the AWS website and you look for AWS Storage Gateway pricing, you'll be sent to a very helpful calculating page. There, based on what you want to get from this cloud storage gateway, you'll add some data and get…

Hi, yes, I think it is very easy to use. You can install it rather quickly, and then when you start using it, it's all explained to you on the native platform's website. I think the best thing about AWS Storage Gateway is that it's made by the cloud it's serving, by AWS. I…

Hello, yes, the AWS Storage Gateway is only suitable for AWS. It's their own gateway service, created especially for their cloud services. It's created so it's compatible with many different AWS other solutions like Amazon FSx, Amazon S3, AWS Identity and access management…

My organization is very happy with the security that NetApp AltaVault gives us for our data on the cloud. First, it gives us the option for data recovery, which is very good, especially if someone accidentally deletes an important file on the cloud. But then, it also gives…

You can not only use NetApp AltaVault for data reduction but I'd suggest you absolutely do it! It can reduce your data up to 30 to 1 ratio and of course, I don't know how much you've got on your cloud, but I bet you always wish for more space, right? I know I do. Back when I…

Hello. Yes, it is compatible with AWS but the great thing about it is that it's actually working with so many cloud providers, it may be just for everyone. Besides the Amazon cloud services, NetApp AltaVault works with Google, IBM, Azure, and their own NetApp StorageGRID…

In my opinion, by paying for Nasuni, you'll be getting pretty much all you need that's otherwise provided by various vendors in the sector. You can easily check out all of their features on their website, as they describe it very well there. Their customer support is also…

As someone who has used this feature of Nasuni I can tell you - yes, it's good for file recovery and you'll definitely benefit from very quick times. I can't tell you if it's the best one because I haven't used other similar services, but it's definitely a good one in my…

In my case, Nasuni is fairly priced, but you may feel differently. That could happen because they don't have fixed prices, they offer individual offers for their packages. After you request a demo you can get a better idea of what you'll be paying for and then actually sign…

Yes, besides its main purpose as a bridge, a cloud storage gateway can also be used for its backup solutions. Most, if not all, providers of similar services really advertise themselves through that because as we all know, there can be numerous issues with cloud storage…

I think AWS Storage Gateway is a good option for AWS, since it was created for it. But we AWS users have a really big choice. As you know, this is hands-down one of the most famous cloud service providers. So any additional service for it, being a cloud storage gateway or…

Yes, I think if they had better security their customers' data wouldn't be on the Internet right now. A cloud storage gateway is a perfect start, as most offer enhanced security, data protection, encryption, etc. I don't count on those famous brands to have military-grade…

I personally don't see any disadvantages to data replication. My company uses a data replication software - HVR, if you're curious - to allow several members from different locations to access real-time copies of our main data at the same time. You can use it for that, as it…

I honestly can't think of another data replication software that can give you better statistics and insight than HVR Software. There's the feature for topology and statistics and both of them can give you a detailed insight into your data replication. Through the thorough…

As someone who works at a company where a high volume of information is replicated and has tried several data replication softwares, I can tell you that you're looking at the right one. HVR Software is just perfect for high-volume data movement because of the low impact it…

Yes, you're correct, back in 2021 a company called Fivetran bought HVR Software. Fivetran is a SaaS data integration service and according to their claims, they bought HVR Software because of their features for extracting operational data. I can't tell you any company…

I've never used this but upon online research, their services are paid but they don't offer their price listing online. I guess that's so they can provide you with a personal offer based on your situation. It's not an uncommon practice - other companies do it too. I guess…

Hello, unfortunately, Equalum's data replication software isn't compatible with any other database other than Oracle. It's in fact built for it and it's doing a perfect job, as I've used it when I worked with Oracle before. But it's kind of disappointing that it doesnt work…

You'd want to use the Equalium Oracle Binary Log Parser because it's just better than the LogMiner. Sure, LogMiner is made by Oracle and probably the team knows some insight to make it efficient that outside companies and tools don't, but in reality, it's got its issues…

Data replication is essential for companies that want to access real-time copies of their original through various locations. The replication process is done through data replication software that works with your company's database and it can be conducted through various…

I assume you're not currently using data replication or any software for it. If that's your case, then you should really consider what your organization is aiming for through this process. Then you can explore different data replication strategies, and potentially softwares…
