We performed a comparison between Infobright DB and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"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."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"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 could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."

You are asking about front end tools but you do not mention which ones. What you have are "database backends" and each has different features. The utilization will depend on what kind of expertise you have available else you will end up trying to implement say, Teradata on Exadata which may not give you the best solution. What are your criteria for success? Based on these you will have to evaluate each solution -- I am sure each vendor will be happy to set up the environment and work with your set of sampl,e data to show you have they evaluate against your criteria.
Given we partner with many or all of the above, or can get to them as we access all data, I have the following opinion - InfoBright is very new and probable to be sold long term. It is also an expensive subscription so presents highest risk to me. Exidata is Oracle - if you like Oracle and their style, it maybe ok, but then it is Oracle. Microsoft is Microsoft - tends to be cheap to acquire and expensive to implement and maintain. Teradata is pricey but of the group presents the least risk and the greatest number of front end partners. The product I represent is unique as it is designed for high complexity large numbers of users and data and runs inside Teradata taking better advantage of the architecture.
