"SAP BW4HANA aids in managing data from ER to front-end analysis, contributes to ROI, and fosters business growth understanding. I like that the solution breaks down components to a very granular level, allowing for customization and implementation based on specific requirements. The solution is stable. The solution is scalable."
"You can do hierarchical alert slicing and dicing out-of-box, which is not available in other solutions. I haven't come across that in Oracle or any other software provider."
"The solution saves time and cost."
"We benefited from BW/4HANA's ability to utilize predefined content inside. We didn't need to start from scratch."
"We like that it is an SAP product, so we can easily connect with the SAP ERP system."
"It is a stable solution."
"The processes are the most valuable aspect of this solution."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"If I want to have good reporting, then I have to buy a separate license."
"The solution is not scalable. It does not have a data streaming feature as well."
"The product needs to improve with more performance and fewer data layers."
"I don't see SAP actively supporting the solution now...a better support from SAP would be appreciated."
"We cannot integrate with third-party tools like Python or advanced integration options. You can't fine-tune tables within BW or generate specific views or reports."
"Not a ten because it's expensive and its ecosystem is not very open."
"It takes too long to escalate problems from the first level of support."
"The cost of the product might be an area that might introduce some restrictions or limitations to customers, making it one of the aspects where improvements are required."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"The scalability could be better. The on-premises solution is always more complicated to scale."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
