We performed a comparison between Teradata and Teradata IntelliFlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"It has a solid set of tools and consulting services."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"It's very, very fast"
"The most valuable feature of Teradata is security. It runs on Unix and Linux platforms which provide better security."
"Improved performance of ETL procedures, reporting."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"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."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"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. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
"The increasing volumes of data demand more and more performance."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"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."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"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 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."
