Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, MongoDB and others in Database as a Service."The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"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'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 scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"The SQL Assistant is very basic. This tool can be improved for usability."
