Saikat Nag - PeerSpot reviewer
Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support
Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.
Kirk Robinson - PeerSpot reviewer
Has improved data quality, optimized reporting processes, and enabled predictive insights across business units
The limitation we encountered was related to speed, prompting us to increase our AWS cloud thresholds and benchmarks on the servers, adding more throughput. We have been testing that, but speed remains one of our key issues. The integration has been awesome because of the platforms and their usage, and usability is great. The most challenging aspect is finding Teradata resources, so we are focusing on internal training and looking for more Teradata experts. If Teradata could provide a list of certified experts, that would be fantastic. I rated Teradata a nine because the main area for improvement is the bandwidth of resources that could assist us in applying to our projects, specifically more certified and expert resources. The market share of Teradata professionals is limited, creating an issue for us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"The stability of Oracle Multitenant is excellent, and I would rate it a nine out of ten."
"The database becomes pluggable. Inside this container is called a pluggable database and each application contains this pluggable database inside Multitenant. We can then share resources like control files, memory, etc. This lets you stop and start each application without impacting the others. This resource sharing is the most valuable feature"
"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The analytics tool, Oracle Analytics Server (OAS), is the main important component of this solution and in the analytics part, the VPD handles all the necessary functions effectively."
"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"​We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features.​"
"Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It is a stable program."
 

Cons

"The solution is partially extendable. It is not very easy to scale. If we want to grow, we need additional servers, which is why we are considering the cloud."
"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The limitation we encountered was related to speed, prompting us to increase our AWS cloud thresholds and benchmarks on the servers, adding more throughput."
"Teradata could be improved by having a web interface that can really help users to plug and play."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is worth the quality."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000."
"In the past, it turned out that other solutions, in order to provide the full range of abilities that the Teradata platform provides plus the migration costs, would end up costing more than Teradata does."
"The initial cost may seem high, but the TCO is low."
"In this day and age, we want to get things done quickly. So, we go to the AWS Marketplace."
"Teradata pricing is fine, and it's competitive with all the legacy models. On a scale of one to five, with one being the worst and five being the best, I'm giving Teradata a three, because it can be a little expensive, when compared to other solutions."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"Teradata's licensing is on the expensive side."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
