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."
"There are two very useful features: one is the fast data input for more or less any online data, and two, it also has a lot of tools for data engineering or data manipulation that are compatible."
"We were able to migrate the code from SAS analytical platforms to pure Teradata and got an order of magnitude of performance growth (taking into account that the hardware was similar)."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"We are into DWBI (Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence) and Teradata is number one in the market for these solutions."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
 

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."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"I truly believe that in five years, we will breach the effective limits of Teradata to perform in a multi-petabyte environment, i.e., without significant changes to its underlying architecture."
"The tool's flexibility and capacity for expansion are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Teradata is somewhat late in adopting cloud technology."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It comes at a notably high cost for what it offers."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"The solution requires a license."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"It's a very expensive product."
