We performed a comparison between Amazon Aurora 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."Aurora's compatibility with MySQL or PostgreSQL benefited our database management. The migration from on-premise MySQL to Aurora was similar, so we didn't need to change our source code."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Aurora is SQL standardization, it doesn't have its own syntax which is good. It has a lot of hands-off self-management type of activities, such as log rolling and auto-scaling."
"The provision of custom read and write endpoints eliminates the need for managing a separate proxy load balancer."
"The solution’s scalability is good since we don’t need to take a maintenance window during unpredictable workloads. I like the solution’s behind-the-scenes happenings. It is a great feature."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to do multiple-read and single-write. These are the kinds of features that we were interested in, and Aurora takes care of that natively."
"We had better control over the parameters that we could tweak in terms of intermediate storage and better indexing capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is that the maintainability is offloaded to the service provider. I don't have to maintain a database or do any administrative tasks, which comes in handy."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"Designing the database is easy."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"There is improvement needed to have more developer focus. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a stand-alone solution outside of Amazon. Amazon has a tendency to favor developing web-based clients, which may not always provide the fastest or most responsive solution as desired."
"It is a bit costly. The features are quite good, and I wouldn't say it requires any technical improvements. But from a cost perspective, some clients wouldn't go for Aurora because of that."
"The product's distributed query process for MySQL needs improvement."
"I would like to see performance insights on the database based on the queries. Currently, we use SolarWinds as the monitoring tool. I would like to leverage SolarWinds’ performance insights in AWS services. SolarWinds gives larger insights when we run performance issues."
"It would have been helpful if they had provided some benchmarking numbers."
"The pricing could improve. It should be reduced."
"I would like to see more AI-related features in future releases."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Teradata could improve by being less complicated. There are some aspects that are not available on the Unix server and a Unix system is required to access some data, such as in case of an emergency."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"The setup is not straightforward."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
