We performed a comparison between SingleStore and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, MongoDB and others in Database as a Service."It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"The solution scales well on the cloud."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"Teradata's pretty fast."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"Teradata's capabilities enhance data management efficiency, support scalability, and contribute to faster query performance."
"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."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"Teradata is a bit late for the cloud."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"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 current operational approach needs improvement."
