Teradata is primarily used for data warehousing across all customers. My clients have built-in applications that use Teradata, and their use varies from customer to customer, depending on the industry and database size. The primary function is as an OLAP analytical ecosystem.

Harnessing advanced parallelism for top performance while embracing cloud trends
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Scalability is excellent because of Teradata's parallelism. It doesn't impact operations when nodes are added. This allows customers to expand without migrating the entire database or system.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable aspects of Teradata are not specific features. Rather, it's the overall performance, particularly parallelism, workload management, and parallel computing. Teradata effectively uses parallelism to the granular level, performing better than other databases.
What needs improvement?
Teradata is somewhat late in adopting cloud technology. They need to focus on the adoption of cloud to remain competitive and target customers who prefer not to invest in capital expenditures and seek a more flexible, operational expenditure approach.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have worked with Teradata for around 15 years, from Teradata version six to version 14.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Teradata is highly stable. The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system, unlike some newer cloud software that can exhibit misbehavior.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Even if an organization starts small, Teradata offers the flexibility to expand by adding nodes or more storage, especially in cloud environments, without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
How are customer service and support?
The technical support from Teradata is quite advanced. However, like any support service, there can be delays. I rate the support as eight out of ten because of their technical expertise.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
During my career, I've been involved primarily with Teradata, and some clients are migrating from Teradata to other technologies.
How was the initial setup?
The initial setup process is rated as eight out of ten. It's straightforward. That said, when migrating databases from other systems, challenges arise in redesigning the code to optimize parallelism.
What about the implementation team?
The implementation is managed by a separate customer service group within Teradata, not by me or my group.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Teradata is high-quality at a premium price. Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
What other advice do I have?
New users should focus on understanding Teradata's parallelism and write their queries or codes to utilize its full potential. Knowing how to use workload management effectively is beneficial.
I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.
Which deployment model are you using for this solution?
Public Cloud
If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?
Other
Efficient data replication and good analytics but has backup limitations
What is our primary use case?
Our primary use case for Teradata is as a data warehouse; we store our databases for the data warehouse, including the EDW. It is mainly used for our data warehouse environment where we run a lot of analytics and heavy queries.
How has it helped my organization?
The solution provides good performance for our analytics queries. Due to the capacity of the Teradata warehouse, our queries are well performed.
What is most valuable?
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems. We use the Teradata mover utility, which is presently valuable.
What needs improvement?
Replication needs improvement because we currently use DataMover once daily. Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
Additionally, when backups are performed, it locks the database, preventing user access, which is a concern. Also, we need extra servers to perform backups, unlike SQL, which has embedded backup capabilities.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Teradata for the last four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten. It is very stable in our experience.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU. They enable a small percentage for scaling, which isn't straightforward.
How are customer service and support?
Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement, although it depends on the license agreements.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Positive
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
We also use SQL and Oracle. Teradata is much more expensive, however, it was already in place at our company.
How was the initial setup?
The setup process is complex. Teradata installed and configured the systems.
What about the implementation team?
We used Teradata's services for installation and configuration.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing is quite high. It's a two out of ten where one is very high priced. Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
I prefer SQL for its cost-effectiveness and performance and also consider Oracle, although its licensing is more expensive. Teradata was already present when I joined the company.
What other advice do I have?
For Teradata to perform well, it requires good configuration and a good structure of the database. It's most suitable for medium and above-sized companies rather than small ones.
I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.
