We performed a comparison between SAP IQ 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."The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"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."
"The cloud is the new challenge and the new opportunity."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
