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."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"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."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"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."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"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."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
