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."It has a good feature called pureScale, which is just for scalability. It is a perfect solution for environments where scalability is going to be an issue."
"The setup process has become much easier recently."
"Db2's best features are that it's self-maintaining and self-monitoring, which means I have to view and monitor the database far less often."
"It's very secure."
"Some of the most valuable features are the scaling from a small very cheap installation to a very large enterprise installation. In addition, the backups and assistance are good."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with other IBM products."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"The stability of IBM Db2 Database is stable. We have not faced any downtime in one year. Our work is mostly during business hours and during that time, we haven't faced any downtime."
"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."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"The key advantages are Performance when processing Terabytes of data and scalability."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"They should develop its containerized version."
"The command line part of this solution could be much better."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"When I look at Microsoft SQL Server, SQL Server provides me with better tools for database management."
"I would say that the tool has to be made more cloud-friendly and should have agreements with AWS, Microsoft, or Google to run things on hyperscalers."
"It would be helpful to have more querying tools and more development tools for us to work easily with Microsoft."
"The pricing could be improved, it's expensive."
"The queries can be difficult for beginners because there are so many. I would like to see more use cases for flow analysis that enable us to correlate the flow with events. Adding this feature in a QI format would be good for beginners."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"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."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
