We performed a comparison between Teradata and Teradata IntelliFlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"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 massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"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."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
