It processes of large amounts of data with ease. Easy to navigate and good graphic user interface Business users can also use it with basic training and query knowledge Cons Big data processing is a challenge due to its existing architectures.

Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A little expensive but definitely useful" June 23, 2021 5.0 Overall I have been using Teradata for 7 + years and I am satisfied with the product, however I do feel they need to focus on new technologies to make self service and scalability an important feature of the software. Pros Teradata has been an extensively powerful database in prcocessing Terabytes of data. Once you configure the tables, partitions and indexes properly it really works excellently. However, there is a lot of effort required from the IT team to make it work perfectly. Its query performance is really high. Teradata Vantage Platform is also having a lot of AI-ML capabilities which can be used, along with virtualization which is important for any Datawarehouse. Cons The fact that a lot of effort is required to make the data structures to be performant does not help a lot. A lot of the things should be done behind the screens by the software based on the query patterns. Also, the costing is a little bit more on the higher side. Review Source Gokul K. Senior Consultant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Teradata Database - Enterprise Datawarehouse" February 15, 2019 3.0 Basically we have started to using this teradata database version 15.0 in our application with the short name called "EDW" - Which implies Enterprise Data-warehouse in our healthcare project to store all our claims flow from Medicare, Medicaid and Membership information for the past 10 years and beyond. This is purely used an data warehouse where whole of our cpmpany operating with 60000 employees as its base since we are saving all our claims, providers, membership and broker/agents information. By short we are using in one of healthcare portal to get the information from data warehouse (Legacy informations). Pros Basically we have started to using this teradata database version 15.0 in our application. Some of the pros in using the teradata are: 1. Used for large data-sets and for ad-hoc queries. 2. Used for massive parallel processing (MPP) architecture like a single dataset table has been queried by multiple people and handling large volume of millions of rows. 3. It has a capability to expand a single data set in to enterprise wide. 4. It is fast in handling the queries for huge number of rows. 5. Good ROI since handling huge number of rows along with teradata support. Cons Since we are having advantages it is also having its own CONS (Disadvantages): 1. Query handling is little tougher which is different from SQL/T-SQL. 2. Price is higher (Huge) for smaller enterprise applications to handle the parallel queries data. 3. Not having its own tools like Oracle, SQL server, Sybase or any other DBMS to export/Import, reporting etc.,. Only third party told which is having OLEDB/ODBC having can be operated. 4. ROI is higher however the initial investment is more and in stable for smaller enterprise applications. 5. Not user friendly like SQL server/Oracle DBMS.

March 18, 2022 3.0 Teradata is very effective for scalable business for maintaining large amounts of data and for analysis purposes for taking future business decision with an efficient and organised way. Pros The best thing about tera data is it’s completely based on shared nothing architecture that means the data are distributed across the AMPS in parallel way.that helps for faster loading the data into the VDISK and also for faster extraction.because all amps have its own vdisk attached with them. One more thing I liked about teradata is the User management and Locking system it’s providing for data security and user authentication. Cons Sometimes it’s harder to understand the Locks mechanism and analytical function that are used inside a procedure for new coming user who wants to learn or use teradata. So it is bit complicated to understand someone’s pre written procedure. Alternatives considered [MySQL](https://www.capterra.com/p/11482/MySQL/) Reason for choosing Vantage Teradata provide advanced features for faster ETL extraction transformation and loading operations.

I have not seen other vendors with the same confidence to arrange reference calls with their clients without a moderator in attendance. It has many features which helps to easily manage the data. Cons Putting Teradata in the hands of someone who is not trained can give them a bad experience. It's like giving a car with a manual transmission to someone who's never driven.

It saves a record of your queries so you can go back to review. I have next to no experience with SQL, but it’s a large component of a new position and teradata makes it somewhat easy to navigate. Cons Navigating the data tree in the leftmost column is somewhat confusing. This is not a program you learn by using. It definitely helps to have someone who knows the program walk you through it.
