We performed a comparison between Exasol and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"It is easy to scale."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"Its speed is great."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"We did performance testing. We had a set of real life MicroStrategy reports. Our conditions were: Not allowed to redesign data model, not allowed to rewrite the queries, all queries should be generated by MicroStrategy, no aggregates. Teradata appeared to be way faster than a similarly configured (in terms of hardware) Oracle server."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"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."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
