Teradata Vantage
Can handle large financial transactions but has limitations in loading unstructured data
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool's most valuable feature is the warehousing model.
What needs improvement?
Azure Synapse SQL has evolved from a solely dedicated support tool to a data lake. It can store data from multiple systems, not just traditional database management systems. On the other hand, Teradata has limitations in loading flat files or unstructured data directly into its warehouse. In Azure Synapse SQL, we can implement machine learning using Python scripts. Additionally, Azure Synapse SQL offers advanced analytical capabilities compared to Teradata. Teradata is also expensive.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for three to four years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I'm working in a very stable environment with Teradata. We have a lot of flexibility, especially in terms of automation.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the tool's support yet.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Azure Synapse SQL. Regarding Teradata, I've only explored it for proof of concept purposes. As a gold partner of Microsoft, we recommend Azure Synapse SQL. However, Teradata seems to be the preferred option when handling large transactions over Azure Synapse SQL. While I haven't explored Teradata extensively, based on colleague feedback, it's considered ideal for financial transactions involving millions to billions of records per day. On the other hand, Azure Synapse SQL is more suited for data warehousing and operational reporting.
How was the initial setup?
The tool's deployment is complex.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool costs about 30,000 euros a month, while Azure Synapse SQL only costs 10,000.
What other advice do I have?
We used Teradata for proof of concept purposes but eventually transitioned to Azure Synapse SQL for managing large data volumes. With Azure Synapse SQL, we could load nearly 130 million records daily from a single data source, and we had eight data sources. This data-loading process took only four hours to complete. It is also based on the .NET framework.
If you're familiar with SQL, working with Teradata might be considered complex compared to Microsoft SQL or Oracle.
If you want a tool to handle financial transactions and generate simple dashboards, Teradata might be the faster option. However, if you also require machine learning, operational reporting, etc. I would recommend considering alternatives such as Azure Synapse SQL.
