"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion.""IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want.""It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades.

Cons
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement.""It needs more compatibility with common BI tools.""It could offer more development across the solution.""The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster.""I think that the error messages need to be made more specific.""SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved.""In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating.""I would like to see better visualization features."

"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access.""The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed.""They should add more connectors to different platforms.""The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved.""The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."

  • "Technical support is an additional fee and is expensive."
  • "The solution's pricing is fairly decent for organizations with huge data sizes."

    Overview

    The traditional structured relational data warehouse was never designed to handle the volume of exponential data growth, the variety of semi-structured and unstructured data types, or the velocity of real time data processing. Microsoft's SQL Server data warehouse solution integrates your traditional data warehouse with non-relational data and it can handle data of all sizes and types, with real-time performance.

    Teradata IntelliFlex delivers real-time intelligence to place vital data into the hands of front-line decision makers, while extending traditional data warehouse functionality into the realm of tactical decision making. With IntelliFlex, you can combine both these strategic and operational workloads in a single data warehouse.
