Teradata Reviews

Our primary use case is for retail and customer behavior modeling. We handle a billion records from different sources to create a consolidated feed for KXEN analysis and customer behavior modeling.

It has allowed our organization, a retail company, to focus on timely marketing campaigns for the proper customers.

It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment. It has a solid set of tools and consulting services.

• A more transparent integration with Aster solutions.
• An even deeper focus in data sciences.
• A teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI (data sciences).

The purpose that we are using Teradata for is to migrate data to the cloud.

The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security.

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.

I have been using Teradata for approximately one year.

Teradata is stable.

I rate the stability of Teradata a seven out of ten.

We have more than 1,000 people using Teradata in my company.

I have not used the support from Teradata.

The initial setup of Teradata is not simple.

We have different teams of approximately 200 people total that are supporting Teradata in many cities and branches.

The price of Teradata could be less expensive.

I rate the price of Teradata a seven out of ten.

We did not evaluate other vendors before choosing Teradata.

I rate Teradata an eight out of ten.

We resell Teradata, but not in the cloud.

Currently, our experience with Teradata in the cloud is theoretical as we haven't started selling it to our customers yet; however, a few of our customers are interested in migrating to a cloud-based solution.

Our clients use Teradata to consolidate corporate data to provide reports. These reports are required every day — it's more like described analytics.

Our customers are very happy with the configuration. It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up. 

It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data. In other words, there should be a process that makes advanced analytics easier.

The integration capabilities could be improved.

They should improve their marketing to make it easier to sell to customers.

I have been using Teradata for roughly five years.

Stability-wise, I don't recall any of our customers having a problem with Teradata. They have never mentioned any issues relating to bugs or glitches.

There are a few options that are very interesting related to the cloud. You can go into the same environment and add more nodes throughout it. As I mentioned, we don't have much experience with Teradata on the cloud, but I think it's the way of the future.

Their technical support is great. On a scale from one to ten, I would give them a rating of ten.

The initial setup is very easy.

Deployment takes a couple of weeks.

I would definitely recommend Teradata to other interested companies. It's really easy to use thanks to the simple configuration.

Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Teradata a rating of ten.

We have improved our daily/monthly reporting, campaign management, and behavior analysis.

Performance when processing terabytes of data.

• Licensing
• Architecture openness
• Integration with other tools

No stability issues.

Teradata's key strength is it's scalability.

Excellent. The support covers all aspects of hardware/software usage.

Oracle's performance in processing large amounts of data is very poor and we had to choose new technology.

Complex. The process requires multiple meetings and all teams working together.

Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud.

IBM, Oracle.

If you have purchased the hardware/software, focus on architecture and the design of data layers.

• It is simple for me as a developer
• Query tuning is simple.

It's simple to use and scalable.

I've used it for eight years.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

No issues encountered.

We used a vendor team who were 7/10.

The speed has been increased.

We also looked at Hadoop.

It's simple but costly. However, this doesn't concern me as I have to develop applications. My employer can give me any product and I will learn and develop with it.  Almost all database products are 80% same.

Data mart implementation for the insurance industry.

• Increased the speed of reporting
• More accurate data scientist answers

• Shared-nothing architecture
• Recoverability

• Cloud implementation
• User-friendly products

I have not encountered any issues with stability for Teradata solutions.

I have not encountered any issues with scalability for Teradata solutions.

Their level of technical support is adequate. It could be better.

We previously used Oracle, though not Exadata. We switched for better reporting performance.

The initial setup was complex as we had to rewrite a lot of the code.

I would advise others to look into migration and setup as a fixed price and incorporate a SaaS option for other Teradata services.

We evaluated this product versus Oracle Exadata.

When looking into implementing this product, pricing is the main issue followed by technical expertise.

Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features. As a specialist for Teradata Performance, I find this data valuable for system tuning and query tuning.

Our enterprise data warehouse (EDW) runs on Teradata and it is the single version of truth for management decision-making and reporting.

The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability.

I have used this solution for around ten years.

There were no stability issues.

There were no scalability issues.

Technical support is good.

We have used Teradata since day one.

The setup was complex, but the work was outsourced to the Teradata Professional Services.

Teradata is not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
