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.

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.

Real-time executive visibility has replaced spreadsheets and drives daily sales decisions
Toucan Toco offers excellent features, including the quick ability to create Stories and KPIs based on the data that we're storing in our data warehouse. We leverage the functionality within Toucan Toco to quickly build out a code-free environment, providing a code-free way of sharing both graphs and KPIs to track and deliver visibility to key data elements. Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time. This shift to real-time sharing has brought clarity to consistent metrics and real-time visibility to activity.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"The most valuable feature of Teradata was actually the fact that it controls everything on a database."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"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 is speedy and doesn't require much of a DBA team, it's kind of baked right into the product."
"Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases."
"The product is reliable."
"The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems."
"Toucan Toco has positively impacted our organization because we previously were using Excel spreadsheets to share data out to the team, and now we're using Toucan Toco to share information in real time."
 

Cons

"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"​Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.​"
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. ​"
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"When backups are performed, it locks the database, preventing user access, which is a concern."
"However, adding additional space once your disks are full in the past was expensive."
"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."
"I chose nine because Stories can cascade on top of each other and be a bit complicated when they create multiple data sets underneath the Stories to manage."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"​When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise​."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
"The cost is significantly high."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"The cost of running Teradata is quite high, but you get a good return on investment."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
