We performed a comparison between Exasol and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Its speed is great."
"It is easy to scale."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
