Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.4

Sentiment score
7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required.
The autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is stable and effective, with responsive support; hardware or configurations occasionally cause issues.
Sentiment score
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
 

Room For Improvement

Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

Matillion's pricing is competitive, flexible, and cost-effective, with discounts for annual commitments and strategic instance management.
Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
 

Valuable Features

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud enhances ETL processes with user-friendly tools, automation, and security for efficient, scalable data management.
Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is effective for ingest functions, particularly when moving information to Snowflake and performing many transformations.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.
