"Replication, all levels of replication, query charting, and the MongoDB embedded are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The solution's stability, performance, enhanced functionality, and replication are all great features."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"Teradata has good performance, the response times are very fast. Overall the solution is easy to use. When we do the transformation, we have all of our staging and aggregation data available."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"The two types of partitioning have been very significant for us - row and columnar partitioning."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"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."
"Continue extending the SQL language for compatibility with the competition's language, including Stored Procedure Language."
"It would be helpful to have IBM salespeople know that Informix exists, and sell it. Currently, it is completely ignored by IBM."
"This solution is in need of more current tools."
"There should be more intelligence surrounding discovering data to be able to automatically create indexes."
"I would like to see backups from secondary servers."
"The solution really doesn't add new features very often."
"This product could be made easier to use for beginners."
"I experienced poor input/output (IO) performance."
"The user interface needs to be improved."

"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
