We performed a comparison between SAP Business 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."The most useful feature has been he ability to feed data into multiple systems in various formats."
"What I like most about SAP Business Warehouse is that it's a seamless integration platform. A valuable feature in the tool is the monitoring alert that makes you aware of what process chain has failed. There's no manual monitoring required if you have configured an alert system, so the process chain can run in the background, and you can get alerts about it. The functionalities I find good in SAP Business Warehouse are alerting and monitoring. If you have configured the tool and have integrated it with SAP Solution Manager, then it's a good product to use."
"Out-of-the-box reports are very useful."
"With the technical support, the response has been pretty good from the SAP side."
"The features that I have found most valuable are its capabilities to connect to Excel and to slice and dice."
"I like that it integrates to open-source."
"Predominantly, our company uses SAP Business Warehouse for reporting purposes across various departments, especially for managers to gain a quick understanding of their current standing and make informed decisions."
"The product is very stable."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"It's very, very fast"
"Designing the database is easy."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"The performance is great, we are able to query our data in one operation."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"The solution could offer better connectivity with other databases."
"You can start quickly but, when you have to get a little more detailed, when you have to change something, when you have to solve problems, it's not that easy. It's easy to start but evolving is not that easy."
"The problem with BW, and the factor that differentiated it from the original BW, is that you only get limited functionality with your runtime license. So, you have to pay extra for extracting data."
"More integration with Microsoft Office products (not just Excel) would be helpful."
"The solution should be more open to the cloud."
"The advanced structuring can be complicated and the interface is not very intuitive."
"What I'd like improved in SAP Business Warehouse is its setup. It could be more flexible, and it could be a configuration-based setup."
"SAP Business Warehouse could improve by having more out-of-the-box use cases to cover more business types or operations."
"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."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"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."
"Apart from Control-M, it would be nice if it could integrate with other tools."
"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."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
