Ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class
The deployment process is very fast. We have prepared the product to be easily installed, and we have had successful cases where it could be implemented in less than a few weeks. Moreover, Around three or four people in a call center are involved in maintaining the solution. We have a project manager, a service manager, and at least two or three system analysts who handle the maintenance. If there are any issues, we can open a support ticket for them to address.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"It is a stable solution. Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"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 can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
 

Cons

"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"I would like more security and speed."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"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 is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different. Ideally, Data Lab should help me test production items and also do future things. Future releases should be downloadable and testable in Data Lab."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"We had a lot of parties involved when purchasing from the AWS Marketplace. They are very flexible and aggressive in trying to close the deal. They are good at what they have to offer and listening to the customer. It's a two-way street."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be better to look at alternatives from the RDBMS world."
"The cost is significantly high."
"The product cost is high for what the client gets. There may be more cost-effective solutions for small and medium-sized organizations."
"The cost is substantial, totaling around $1.2 million, solely dedicated to upgrading the hardware."
