What is most valuable?
Efficiency of running analytical queries. Teradata was mainly invented for that purpose and it really does it well. We were able to migrate the code from SAS analytical… more»How has it helped my organization?

Price is quite high, so if it is really possible to use other solutions (e.g. you do not have strict requirements for performance and huge data volumes), it might be… more»Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
It is hard to say what our clients had been using before. It is safe to say that this was their first option for analytical data warehouse implementation.What other advice do I have?
I rate it an eight out of 10. It is definitely the best RDBMS I have ever worked with, in the sense of building a data warehouse. It is fast, and easy to use in terms of… more»Which other solutions did I evaluate?

What is most valuable?
Our customers are very impressed by Teradata's speed, because it's massively parallel processed. So you can get a great volume of data through quickly.What needs improvement?
What really needs to improve, is their general cloud services. That is their biggest downfall at the moment.What other advice do I have?
On a scale from one to ten, I will rate Teradata a seven. An additional feature I would like to see included in the next release is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly. That's the one thing they're going to lose customers over, so that needs to improve. I know they're working on it, but they need to do it quicker.

What is most valuable?
Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance. Features like TPump were helpful for real-time data loads compatible with almost all other APIs/tools in our enterprise. Inbuilt architecture reduces admins' efforts.How has it helped my organization?
* Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information. * It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc. Due to its architecture, the focus has been shifted from not maintaining the database to how we can utilize the data/features.What needs improvement?
* Cost * Scalability It would help to make scaling easier with a reduced cost.BrenoNunes
