Scripting is a great feature as is the ability to export almost anything
Scripting is a good feature if you have programming and scripting skills. It can be used without those skills but I think it's difficult to integrate them in PRISM. The best thing is that you can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data and you can change dates on the fly.

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

"You can export almost anything whether it's graphics or data."
"I think the NetSuite support is one of the best I've ever had."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"If the priority is to find the best tool that can be relied on with less maintenance and good performance, Teradata is definitely a good option, but again, homework must be done to see which one suits the data workloads."
"It architects the databases well, right from data modelling, the correct appliance to be chosen, the queries hitting the system, strategic and tactical, and that business knowledge should be easy to understand to end developers."
"What really impressed me is their approach to design the data warehouse."
 

Cons

"Graphics are limited and could be improved."
"I think the only limitation in the solution is the graphics which could be improved."
"The Query Response time needs improving."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"I'd like to see better processing on a transactional level and star schema optimization."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Teradata is expensive. However, what they deliver they are outstanding. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to run a database, this isn't your tool. It's the Ferrari of databases for data warehousing."
"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."
"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's a very expensive product."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
