We performed a comparison between IBM Informix and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."So far, we do not have a lot of issues. It's pretty problem-free."
"Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"Every version is faster than the previous."
"For IoT business cases, having Informix Enterprise Edition work on edge computers, like Raspberry Pi and using Informix replication, makes complex situations simple to build and maintain."
"The solution's stability, performance, enhanced functionality, and replication are all great features."
"It supports multiple applications and business intelligence tools."
"The stability is incredible. I have customers with uptimes of several years."
"Replication, all levels of replication, query charting, and the MongoDB embedded are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"This solution is in need of more current tools."
"In my opinion, the packages could be improved. The version I use doesn't allow for packages. I can do some general procedures, but no packages like in Oracle. So, develop separate modules in SQL language. This would be most beneficial for me."
"I really would love to have a QT plugin."
"The pricing is a bit expensive."
"The technical support services need substantial improvement."
"The solution lacks some functionality."
"The support team could include local engineers to establish efficient communication. It will help us speed up the escalation process."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"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."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
