We performed a comparison between Amazon EMR and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Amazon EMR is a good solution that can be used to manage big data."
"In Amazon EMR it is easy to rebuild anything, easy to upgrade and has good fault tolerance."
"The initial setup is straightforward."
"One of the valuable features about this solution is that it's managed services, so it's pretty stable, and scalable as much as you wish. It has all the necessary distributions. With some additional work, it's also possible to change to a Spark version with the latest version of EMR. It also has Hudi, so we are leveraging Apache Hudi on EMR for change data capture, so then it comes out-of-the-box in EMR."
"It allows users to access the data through a web interface."
"The solution is scalable."
"We are using applications, such as Splunk, Livy, Hadoop, and Spark. We are using all of these applications in Amazon EMR and they're helping us a lot."
"When we grade big jobs from on-prem to the cloud, we do it in EMR with Spark."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"Designing the database is easy."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"It is a stable program."
"There were times where they would release new versions and it seemed to end up breaking old versions, which is very strange."
"The initial setup was time-consuming."
"Amazon EMR can improve by adding some features, such as megastore services and HiveServer2. Additionally, the user interface could be better, similar to what Apache service provides, cross-platform services."
"We don't have much control. If we have multiple users, if they want to scale up, the cost will go and increase and we don't know how we can restrict that price part."
"The problem for us is it starts very slow."
"Modules and strategies should be better handled and notified early in advance."
"Amazon EMR is continuously improving, but maybe something like CI/CD out-of-the-box or integration with Prometheus Grafana."
"The product's features for storing data in static clusters could be better."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Teradata is an expensive tool. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions."
"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."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"The setup is not straightforward."
