We performed a comparison between Teradata and VMware Tanzu Greenplum 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."Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"Teradata has good performance, the response times are very fast. Overall the solution is easy to use. When we do the transformation, we have all of our staging and aggregation data available."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"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."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"We chose Greenplum because of the architecture in terms of clustering databases and being able to have, or at least utilize the resources that are sitting on a database."
"The parallel load features mean that Greenplum is capable of high-volume data loading in parallel to all of the cluster segments, which is really valuable."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
"The loading speed is very good."
"Scalable (Massive) Parallel Processing (MPP) – The ability to bring to bear large amounts of compute against large data sets with Greenplum and the EMC DCA has proven itself to be very effective."
"Scalability is simple because it's an MPP database. If you need more processing power or you need more storage, you just add a few more nodes in the cluster. It works on common commodity hardware. You can use any type of server. You don't need to have proprietary hardware. It's fairly flexible."
"Very fast for query processing."
"Teradata can improve the way it handles big data and unstructured data."
"I think the UI is not there yet. It could be improved by being more user-friendly."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"Teradata's pricing is quite high compared to Redshift, Synapse, or GCP alternatives."
"It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost. "
"I've been using the same UI for 20 years in Teradata. It could use some updating. Adding more stability around Teradata Studio would be outstanding. Teradata Studio is a Java-based version of their tool. It's much better now, but it still has some room for improvement."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"The installation is difficult and should be made easier."
"They need to enhance integration with other Big Data products... to integrate with Big Data platforms, and to open a bi-directional connection between Greenplum and Big Data."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Extra filters would be helpful."
"Tanzu Greenplum's compression for GPText could be made more efficient."
"We would like to see Greenplum maintain a closer relationship with and parity to features implemented in PostgreSQL."
