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."It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"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."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"It's very, very fast"
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is the quick processing of large data."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"Teradata can be easily used in ETL mode transformations, so there is no need for expensive and inconvenient ETL tools"
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"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."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"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."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
