Easy to scale and good record to report capabilities but needs better training
It's not a very popular tool. There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market. The support needs to be faster. The solution needs to be lighter. It's a bit too heavy.

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

"The solution scales easily."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"I mostly recommend Teradata for data storage because it is easy to deploy and implement."
"It is the core of our fundamental real-time reporting and operational planning and has saved us over eight figures in the operational run costs, improved data quality and consistency as well as reduced our overall infrastructure support requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"Designing the database is easy."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"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."
 

Cons

"There are very limited resources available in the market in terms of implementation. They need to offer training plans for graduates so that more resources are available in the market."
"Any value this product provides is offset by the high cost and lack of scalability."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"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."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different."
 

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."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"Teradata used to be expensive, but they have been lowering their prices."
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
