Teradata Reviews

We resell Teradata, but not in the cloud.

Currently, our experience with Teradata in the cloud is theoretical as we haven't started selling it to our customers yet; however, a few of our customers are interested in migrating to a cloud-based solution.

Our clients use Teradata to consolidate corporate data to provide reports. These reports are required every day — it's more like described analytics.

Our customers are very happy with the configuration. It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up. 

It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data. In other words, there should be a process that makes advanced analytics easier.

The integration capabilities could be improved.

They should improve their marketing to make it easier to sell to customers.

I have been using Teradata for roughly five years.

Stability-wise, I don't recall any of our customers having a problem with Teradata. They have never mentioned any issues relating to bugs or glitches.

There are a few options that are very interesting related to the cloud. You can go into the same environment and add more nodes throughout it. As I mentioned, we don't have much experience with Teradata on the cloud, but I think it's the way of the future.

Their technical support is great. On a scale from one to ten, I would give them a rating of ten.

The initial setup is very easy.

Deployment takes a couple of weeks.

I would definitely recommend Teradata to other interested companies. It's really easy to use thanks to the simple configuration.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Teradata a rating of ten.

Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features. As a specialist for Teradata Performance, I find this data valuable for system tuning and query tuning.

Our enterprise data warehouse (EDW) runs on Teradata and it is the single version of truth for management decision-making and reporting.

The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability.

I have used this solution for around ten years.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

Technical support is good.

We have used Teradata since day one.

The setup was complex, but the work was outsourced to the Teradata Professional Services.

Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for.

A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) needs to be done by the customers so as to make sure it serves the intended purpose.

Have a long-term vision, the ROI will not come in the short-term.

A cost-benefit analysis (CBA) needs to be done by the customers so as to make sure it serves the intended purpose.

Primarily, Teradata is a traditional data warehouse, but we also encourage our customers to adapt to the logical data warehouse and data lab.

The most valuable feature is the ability to be anywhere - Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again.

Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives. In the next release, I would like Teradata to refine their Object Store to be more compatible with cloud environments.

I've been working with Teradata since 2014.

Teradata's stability is very strong, and our customers feel their data is safe with it.

Teradata's scalability is good, it takes only the push of a button to scale up, and if that's not enough, you could scale with the cloud or a virtual machine.

The initial setup is straightforward if you have some knowledge about the logic of the environment. However, for those without knowledge, there will be a learning curve to understand how to use the solution.

Our customers say that Teradata makes them faster, smarter, and capable of more sophisticated analytics.

For anyone thinking of implementing Teradata, I would recommend preparing by understanding the technology and putting in the effort to keep it being adaptive to different and urgent requirements from your business. I would give Teradata a score of ten out of ten.

Business intelligence and data warehousing solutions for our client.

Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly.

Compatibility with more Big Data platforms.

I rate Teradata at eight out of 10. It provides high performance.

I am using Teradata Vantage Express and I'm using Teradata Studio along with it.

The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data.

The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud.

I have been using Teradata for approximately one week.

The solution is stable.

Teradata has high scalability.

I am the only one testing the solution in my company.

I rate the scalability of Teradata a ten out of ten.

I have not used the support.

The initial setup was done with the free Teradata Express. I downloaded and installed it. The implementation process was not easy to do and there are many steps involved. Other data warehousing tools are plug-and-play. It is a three to four-step process.

We followed some useful YouTube videos.

I rate the initial setup of Teradata a five out of ten.

I am using the free version of Teradata.

I rate Teradata a ten out of ten.

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.

It didn't improve the way our organization functions.

None.

There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system.

No issues with stability.

No issues with scalability.

I would rate tech support at eight out of 10.

Yes, we already had SAP IQ and were using it. We didn’t switch. We tried but it failed.

Very complex.

I rate Teradata two out of 10. At first, support was very good, but during and after they ended their operation in Turkey it was very bad. We had some agreements and they gave us some promises but...

We bought it three years ago but we couldn't use it in production. We have SAP IQ data warehouse now and I don't have a major problem. I would recommend SAP IQ for data warehouse.

If you are going to buy Teradata, you have to make a very solid contract with them.

Stats, QueryGrid Autostats with collecting stats automatically with the threshold values assigned, QueryGrid has multiple new features i.e data migration, extraction, tool loading, other utilities.

Business, Analytics, Hybrid.

It should be compatible and free on CLOUD/ AWS. Currently many DB's on AWS are free , Teradata is also on Amazon Web Services, but its charged and no documentation available to practice those LABS .

5 years.

No issues.

No issues.

No issues.

8/10

Larger data warehouse / reporting and compatibility to analytics.

It was straightforward.

It architects the databases well. Right from data modelling, the correction appliance to be chosen, the queries hitting the system, strategic, tactical etc, and that business knowledge should be easy to understand to end developers.

We are only consultants, so we don't use the program ourselves. 

Our customers are very impressed by Teradata's speed, because it's massively parallel processed. So you can get a great volume of data through quickly.

What really needs to improve, is their general cloud services. That is their biggest downfall at the moment. 

Teradata is a really stable program.

The scalability of Teradata is extremely poor, unfortunately.

Because we are only consultants, we never use the technical support. Only our clients do.

On a scale from one to ten, I will rate Teradata a seven. An additional feature I would like to see included in the next release is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly. That's the one thing they're going to lose customers over, so that needs to improve. I know they're working on it, but they need to do it quicker.
