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."
"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."
"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."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"It is a stable program."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"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."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"Teradata hardly supports unstructured data or semi-structured data"
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
