We performed a comparison between SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 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."SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"This is a wonderful database that is, in my opinion, underrated. Users are able to get the most out of my experience by taking advantage of its centralized environment."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"Provides very good integration."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"The actual interface is good."
"I like that SAP ASE can match code and the database index to index data in the programming language. There are many other valuable features, such as the table buffer, tuning, and various control agents like dispatcher. SAP ASE can handle many different data types, including views, domains, data elements, structures, objects, and various table types that are most useful in the application. Its modularization technique is also handy."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"I like this solution's ease of design and the fact that its performance is quite good. It is stable as well."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"I think that the solution needs to be positioned better within the market as it appears as though the Adaptive Server is being left out of the SAP scope."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"SAP should refine its debugging method, and the process needs to be a little faster. It should use more Pragmas and fewer pseudocomments. I would like if SAP added more features based on advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence and voice control. The modularization and if-else techniques could also incorporate the latest technology to code and solve complex problems. The SAP Editor should be more elaborative, and it should allow many more types of statements for all uses."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"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 think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"The capability to implement it with comparable performance across various private cloud environments, ensuring adaptability to different infrastructure setups would be beneficial."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"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."
