We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Warehouse and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It can be mounted on the cloud, which is a huge plus. If the client, for example, starts small with on-premise deployment and then it rapidly needs to grow, we can transfer this to the cloud easily."
"The solution is stable."
"The standout feature of IBM Db2 Warehouse, which is particularly valuable for large enterprises, is its ability to handle big data."
"I think it scales really well and as long as you take enough time to learn a little bit about it, it works really well."
"Provides good security and reliability."
"Some of the best features are stored procedures, parallelism, and different indexing strategies."
"The analytics engine is not bad at forecasting predictions."
"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."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The areas of the solution that is needing the most improvement are separating compute from storage, elasticity, which means scaling up and then retracting."
"In terms of improvement, IBM Db2 Warehouse should be more scalable."
"IBM Db2 Warehouse needs to improve its interface."
"The biggest challenge anyone could have with Db2 Warehouse is their references or online resources and documentation. They are very, very, very limited on the web."
"Lacks sufficient documentation and particularly in Spanish."
"There should be more material available for training and training should be free."
"The biggest problems we have is when the backup solution is failing or slow and we run out of log space, which has happened probably a couple of times in the last four years."
"There were some initial challenges with IBM Db2 Warehouse about eight months ago when I worked in this environment. When I coordinated with IBM support, they mentioned that the memory was insufficient for our needs. Our business environment required significantly more memory than the previous cluster could provide. Consequently, we have worked closely with on-site IBM technical personnel to address this issue."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata is an expensive tool. Like, if you're already using Microsoft products like Windows, they'll market all their products together. And with the rise of cloud technologies, companies will adopt solutions that offer them some privileges or facilities. Similar to how SAP does it in the market, so do Microsoft and other companies. Even Oracle and other such tools are quite commonly seen compared to Teradata's competitors in everyday solutions."
"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."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
