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

"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"The solution has a self-backup, so you don't need a DBA (database administrator) to do a backup."
"Amazing performance, it is a revolution."
"I really like the auto-tuning, auto-scaling, and the automatic load balancing and query tuning in the system."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"I like the fact that the solution is self-patching, that it's running machine-learning generally across its logs all the time in order to identify any issues and to self-repair."
"The product is easy to use."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"The data processing, clustering, and distributed computing are impressive."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"The performance is the key item we appreciate, we're able to easily trigger jobs and we have access to integrations for running jobs, it's easy to use for the most part, which is why I really like it, it's stable and reliable."
"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."
"I mostly recommend Teradata for data storage because it is easy to deploy and implement."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
 

Cons

"My main suggestion for Oracle is the configuration and key values that come for JSON files. When we create a table, especially if you see in our RedShift or some other stuff, if I create a table on top of a JSON file with multiple array columns or superset columns, those column values create some difficulty in Oracle."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"Optimization should be better."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"Ease of interconnectivity could be improved by which I mean setting up the VPN access and the like from on-premises to cloud."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"It's simple but costly."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"I choose 8 out of 10 for Teradata because there is always the scope for improvement."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is perfect with Oracle Universal credit."
"On a scale from one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing an eight."
"The licensing cost of the product can vary since you can integrate it very easily with other products or other cloud products...You pay as you use it, so it is not yearly or monthly payments to be made toward Oracle."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse's pricing is fair and reasonable compared to the other cloud vendors."
"Cloud solutions are cheaper, but in the long run, they may not be much cheaper. They certainly have a lower initial cost. The licensing is yearly, and it is based on the size of the hardware and the number of users."
"ROI is high."
"You pay as you go, and you don't pay for services that you don't use."
"We pay approximately $70,000 per month. The cost includes maintenance and support."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"I am using the free version of Teradata."
"The price of Teradata could be less expensive."
"We are looking for a more flexible cost model for the next version that we use, whether it be cloud or on-premise."
"Make sure you have the in-house skills to design and support the solution, as relying on external sources is extremely costly and tends to lock you into specific platforms, tools, and paradigms."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"It's a very expensive product."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
