Easy to work and offers features for tape backups, disk backups, and whatever you want
NovaStor NovaBACKUP is still working on new features because they listen to the customers and integrate their needs into new versions. You can see they make progress with each new version. They are much faster than IBM, where you sometimes have to wait years for new features. It is very quick and fast. NovaStor have big competitors like Veeam, which is very fast and aggressive. It's good, but it depends on the price. I think NovaStor might be cheaper. They have a direct connection to their developers and sales teams, which makes getting answers very fast. Veeam has a lot of features, like a special reporting tool. However, I've heard from some customers that Veeam wasn't always the right decision because it couldn't work with their environment. But Veeam has aggressive marketing, which is why they are probably in first place at the moment, besides Commvault. IBM has lost its competitive edge and is trying to catch up, but it might be too late.

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

"It is a very good and easy-to-use tool for non-technical people."
"NovaBACKUP protects your entire system with a single solution."
"It's the easiest way to configure it."
"The solution is speedy and doesn't require much of a DBA team, it's kind of baked right into the product."
"We had few reports which were taking more than 45 minutes, then with Teradata we received results within minutes, and a few under a minute."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"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."
"​Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"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."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
 

Cons

"The price of NovaStor NovaBACKUP is an area that can be considered as a weakness or drawback, where improvements are required."
"The room for improvement lies in the compatibility of NovaBACKUP with older operating systems."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"I was not impressed by tech support. We made several requests regarding performance issues we had with our applications but did not get helpful answers."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My company has to make yearly payments towards the solution's maintenance and support."
"​I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services​."
"The cost is significantly high."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"In the past, it turned out that other solutions, in order to provide the full range of abilities that the Teradata platform provides plus the migration costs, would end up costing more than Teradata does."
"Teradata is expensive, so it's typically marketed to big customers. However, there have been some changes, and Teradata is now offering more flexible pricing models and equipment leasing. They've added pay-as-you-go and cloud models, so it's changing, but Teradata is generally known as an expensive high-end product."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
