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."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"​Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
 

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."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"Teradata is somewhat late in adopting cloud technology."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"I would like more security and speed."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"The tool's flexibility and capacity for expansion are areas of concern where improvements are required."
"Teradata has a few AI models, but in data science, we need more flexibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
"Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"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."
"Teradata is currently making improvements in this area."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"The price needs to be more competitive as Hadoop, Redshift, Snowflake, etc are constantly making way into EDW space."
"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."
