We performed a comparison between SAP IQ and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Teradata is a great, industry-leading data warehousing product that has MPP architecture."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"It handles large amounts of information with a linear performance increase, in relation to a HW investment."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"Teradata is an old data warehouse, and they're not improving in terms of new, innovative features."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
