Teradata has all the best features currently, but I think right now the market is really flooding with multiple options. Many customers have a need for rapid on-premise deployment. I think in that case I would recommend Teradata. But for smaller or medium-sized companies, there are probably other options out there that they might use instead which will fit better for their budget.  

On a scale from one to ten where one is the worst and ten is the best, I would rate Aster Data MapReduce (Teradata) overall as maybe six or seven probably. Seven-out-of-ten.  

To improve that rating, I think we see that our customers have a lot of unstructured data. So in addressing that in a better way, Teradata would become an eight. It could possibly resolve this in a simple way with better integration in working directly with other solutions that are already available out there. This may be the best solution for that.  

The solution is most suitable for medium to large-scale businesses. 

I'd rate the solution seven out of ten.

I would recommend the solution to others. 

My advice to anybody who is considering this solution would be to opt for the cloud version, rather than deploy on-premises. It is a better option.

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
