We performed a comparison between Oracle Database Appliance and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."We value the appliance architecture with its “everything-in-a-box” highly standardized setup."
"NVM Express (NVMe) solid-state drives: This technology brings outstanding I/O performance for midsize databases. We have tested it by doing POCs on customer sites and the results were quite satisfying."
"Easy management (it saves a lot of installation and patching time)."
"The product is excellent. It is simple and reliable in terms of installation and maintenance."
"I give it a nine out of 10 because it gives the customer easy access to a complete database solution within 30 minutes."
"The product is good value for money. It is a secure solution."
"The performance of the system is the solution's most valuable aspect. In combination with the database, it gives perfect results. It's a better system than using other kinds of integrated systems. In general, the ODA control is much simpler to use and offers up the best performance."
"The tool is a specific and effective system. I am impressed with its usability."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"The key advantages are Performance when processing Terabytes of data and scalability."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"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."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"Oracle could improve its capacity for built-in visualization."
"Technical support is not so great. It could be much better. The maintenance, for an enterprise system, isn't so great. It's also extremely expensive."
"I would be happy to see the Oracle Auto Service Request (ASR) pre-installed in it instead of installing it in a separate machine."
"Even though the solution can handle a lot of data, it's just too expensive currently."
"Virtualization needs improvement. It's not easy to back up the virtual machines in the Oracle VM architecture. I would also like to see native support for Veeam Backup Software."
"Oracle Database Appliance is stopping support for the standard edition and only continuing support for the RAC One Node. They did not inform us and we are having problems with our customers. We are not having to change our systems from standard to something else."
"The product is quite complex to set up, initially. It would be ideal if it was simpler."
"The setup is a bit complex."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"The setup is not straightforward."
