"Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"Every version is faster than the previous."
"So far, we do not have a lot of issues. It's pretty problem-free."
"This solution has made financial reporting possible by allowing financial people the opportunity to set Informix to "Auto Pilot" so that they can attend other duties."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It is a stable program."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"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."
"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."
"The technical support services need substantial improvement."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"I really would love to have a QT plugin."
"Continue extending the SQL language for compatibility with the competition's language, including Stored Procedure Language."
"I would like to see backups from secondary servers."

"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
