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"
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."

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.
