Secure backups have simplified compliance and now provide immutable protection for cloud workloads
The best features that Clumio offers are the ability to know when a backup has completed, to know how to restore both files at the file level and also restore EBS backups, point-in-time restores, as well as snapshots. Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up. This peace of mind has translated into measurable outcomes as we adhere to NIST 800 compliance, and with that, we need immutable backups and the ability to have backups that do not exist within our existing tenants. Clumio fixes that problem for us.

Delivers consistent performance and enables advanced analytics across complex data environments
Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing and analyzing large volumes of data. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in highly demanding environments. One of its most notable strengths is the ability to run complex queries at high speed, which is essential for organizations that require timely and reliable analytics. Teradata offers a well-integrated ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow. Its focus on advanced analytics, integration with modern business intelligence tools, and the ability to operate both on-premise and in the cloud make it a versatile solution for data warehousing and large-scale processing. Teradata's stability, technological maturity, and the availability of strong documentation and best practices are noteworthy. I consider Teradata to be a tool with great potential for any organization looking to enhance its analytical capabilities, optimize data processing, and move toward more data-driven decision-making. Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing a large volume of data in different projects. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in high-demanding environments. A well-integrated AI ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow across different kinds of enterprises or organizations. The focus on advanced analytics integration with modern business intelligence tools is particularly valuable. Teradata combines a powerful parallel process and optimizing SQL engine with a highly scalable architecture allowing businesses to execute complex queries and analytics in real-time. It supports multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments, giving organizations flexibility to choose the setup that best aligns with their strategy. One of the biggest strengths is the ability to unify disparate data sources and support high concurrency, enabling different teams, such as analytics, operations, BI, and data science, to access consistent, trusted data across the enterprise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Clumio gave us a genuinely isolated vault that sits outside our AWS Organization's blast radius."
"We now have the peace of mind knowing that our entire AWS infrastructure is fully backed up into an air-gapped environment."
"Clumio proved to be the most cost-effective option."
"Clumio has a straightforward setup"
"Working with the Clumio/Commvault team has been a very good experience."
"We have been able to safely and securely save our backups off of AWS."
"<p>Clumio has positively impacted our organization by providing us with the peace of mind of knowing that all of our EC2 instances are securely backed up.</p>"
"Performance-wise, Teradata beats everything."
"The best features Teradata offers, in my experience, include fast performance during multi-parallel processing, very good scalability, support for linear scalability, and its suitability for handling large volumes of data; additionally, it facilitates data integration, where we integrate and analyze data from various sources, making it a powerful and high-quality reliable solution for the company."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"Teradata has positively impacted our organization by allowing our team to reduce from 27 people down to eight, consolidating our headcount, and helping the enterprise achieve a higher rate of internal return on financials."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"Technically, it has made data processing much faster than other SMP databases."
"It's very, very fast"
 

Cons

"They need to improve their SQL backup services"
"The account onboarding process deploys around 20 IAM roles per account, which is heavy."
"We are still exploring the areas where improvements might be needed."
"More alignment with Clumio and Commvault branding would have helped us understand the product better during the discovery phase."
"The credit system can be confusing, but if you talk to your account manager, they can help alleviate those concerns."
"It would be beneficial to show when backups are available and to receive alerts if there are any issues with the backups."
"Any value this product provides is offset by the high cost and lack of scalability."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"The usability could be a bit better. It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"Teradata customer support in India is very bad."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"Azure Synapse SQL has evolved from a solely dedicated support tool to a data lake. It can store data from multiple systems, not just traditional database management systems. On the other hand, Teradata has limitations in loading flat files or unstructured data directly into its warehouse. In Azure Synapse SQL, we can implement machine learning using Python scripts. Additionally, Azure Synapse SQL offers advanced analytical capabilities compared to Teradata. Teradata is also expensive."
"It's simple but costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
