We performed a comparison between Exasol 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 most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"Its speed is great."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"It is easy to scale."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"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."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"It is a stable program."
"Designing the database is easy."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"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."
"The current operational approach needs improvement."
"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."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
