We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and Teradata based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Teradata has a slight edge in this comparison since it received slightly higher marks in the Ease of Deployment category.
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"Exadata's best features are its performance during redo logging and the elasticity of the database handling."
"The technical support team are real professionals. I admire their technical skills and supports. Their supports are really admirable."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the integration with other solutions, such as SAN storage and shared VLAN network."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is its capabilities for storing and processing data. It is very good for our domain."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Exadata is the storage available."
"It is the best solution for OLTP and data warehousing."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"When it comes to integration, tools like Informatica seamlessly connect with Teradata. We ensure the Teradata database is configured correctly in Informatica, including the proper hostname and properties for the load process. We didn't find any major complexity or issues with integration."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"Things have started moving faster in my company, such as data retrieval happens more quickly."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"The scalability can be improved as it is not a parallel execution."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"Oracle Exadata could improve the platform performance tuning should be easier, automated, and user-friendly."
"We have a little trepidation with the system as it does have a learning curve. Also changing to a binary logging format for us feels like retrograde motion, but sadly almost all Linux variants have moved in this direction."
"Patching must be simplified."
"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."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"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."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
