Cloudera Data Platform vs Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance 2850

Likelihood to Recommend

In the creation of maintenance models Cloudera can excel greatly, because it allows you to create very scalable and applicable processes in different types of technology, either for reporting based purely on data, or to implement its analysis modalities to develop IT projects. In case of requiring detailed review of different phases of IT processes, Cloudera can be useful in security operations that require high expertise in shared data.

Teradata is most suited when needing to get data for a specific purpose. If you need to report data and display it, this application is not as well suited. It should only be used to store and access data. It does a good job of organizing the data. You can get your dataset at a place where little to no additional tweaking would be needed in other applications.

Can query multiple databases within one server and view all results in one window. Helps speed up analysis.
Teradata uses AMPs (Access Module Processors) to increase speed of data processing/queries. You must use 'COLLECT STATISTICS' properly to efficiently use the AMPs.
Most standard SQL practices work on Teradata. Also, Teradata formats the query in a nice colored structure.
Can search for tablenames or specific columnnames across the entire server. Helps when changing a specific column or table structure.

Alternatives Considered

IBM's offering of the Cloud Pak for Data has been a moving target and difficult to compare to Cloudera Data Platform. We have implemented our solution on Amazon Web Services, which appears to be supported by IBM at this point, but the migration would be very expensive for us to endeavor.

To be fair, I didn’t select Teradata. I do think that they are comparable. There are some things SQL server does better than Teradata and vice versa. For example, sql server will underline potential errors while you are coding. It also will auto-populate table and column names so you don’t need to have the exact name before submitting your query.
