Teradata Vantage is used as an integrated Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) that consolidates data from major systems in the company. Both batch and real-time (CDC, Kafka) integration patterns are used to load data into EDW. EDW has three standard layers - acquisition, integration, access. Transformations from acquistion to integration layer (and from integration to access) are implemented in database using SQL capabilities (ELT). EDW supports major analytical processes in the company - reporting, campaign management, fraud detection, customer value management. EDW also serves as one of the data sources for AI and maching learning activities.
  • strong SQL capabilities with many in-database functions
  • workload managment
  • support for temporal tables (time travel)
  • Teradata Studio - client tool for SQL developers and database administrators
  • automated performance tunning based on the system metadata
Teradata Vantage provides strong analytical capabilities for structured data that offers excellent performance even on very large data sets. Besides the traditional block storage Teradata offers other kinds of data storage that can be used in specific cases, e.g. columnar and object storage (NOS). Rich set of in-database analytical functions allows analysts to effectively get insights from data inluding machine learning capabilities.

We use Teradata Vantage to analyse parcel event data, plus finance, customer reviews, transport movements and profitability. Our data is loaded every 5 minutes to the database. It is used to produce operational reports and alerts intraday, plus previous day's performance, and monitoring longer term performance trends. We also produce reports for our clients to inform them of their deliveries performance. The finance department use data to report on their data, and profitability data is used by account managers. The Teradata Vantage database performs well for us, and the cloud instance we use works without much intervention.
  • Performance is good
  • Cloud instance doesn't need much management
  • Integrates well with our tools
  • Managed backups could be better. Triggered scheduling, and being able to back up different areas of data at different times would be great.
  • The clearscape interface should be provided as an option in the cloud on an application node in the same instance as the database
  • Add better ability to use timestamps - functions to add dates and times to get a timestamp, convert timestamp(6) to timestamp(0) easily, etc.
It works will with large amounts of structured data. The physical table design needs to be done correctly to get good performance, but when that is done creating performant queries is simple.
It works less well with unstructured data. It is best to split this out into more structured tables where possible.

We use Teradata primarily for 3 purposes:
1) Data Warehouse - That provides analytics, internal and external regulatory reporting. Data aggregation for further processing on other internal systems. Scoring for credit decisioning
2) Data Marts - stand alone data for specific reporting areas.
3) Customer Marketing - Both real time and offline. Also for fraud avoidance.
  • Data Warehouse
  • Online Fraud detection
  • Reliability
  • Workload management
  • Disaster Recovery
Vantage is particularly suited for managing multi-purpose systems and getting the most value form a single copy of your data. It not only allows you to do all the normal batch processing required for warehouse operation, it allow you to build and manage real time workloads in conjunction with the large batches.

Our Teradata Vantage system is used by hundreds of ad hoc users, thousands of reports and applications, and tens of thousands of knowledge workers.
  • Reliability
  • Managability
  • Performance (especially mixed workload)
  • Availability
  • Like to see demographic data information from other repositories incorporated into federated query plans
Best for large, complex, mixed workloads (tactical and analytical). In fact, our experience is that the more complex the query, the greater the differentiation from other platforms. Not pigeon-holed into a single type of query type or access path / pattern.

We use Teradata Vantage for query optimization and workload management. This would include message traffic, monitoring, error recovery, space management, as well as continuity in systems where loads and queries are happening all day. Users use it for BI reporting, forecasting, and analysis of the queries that are run on a 24/7 basis.
  • Querying
  • Workload Management.
  • Speed
  • Maybe a better querying tool.
TV is well suited for high speed, which is a great for large tables. The workload functionality is very good when in Viewpoint. The BAR functionality could use a little work. QueryGrid is very useful as well. The client handlers are still a work in progress, as I keep hearing that they continue to fail. There are also many restarts on the systems as well.

Teradata helps in enhancing the storage spaces, helps in protecting data in layers with encryption which in my opinion is extremely important to ensure data is protected within the system and data privacy and theft is ensured. It further helps in enhancing the speed of data transfer and helps in ensuring data is attended smoothly by its users
  • Enhances the data touch points
  • Expands the data usability with the periphery
  • Data transfer speed gets magnified
  • Teradata is already a gem of software
  • However teradata could incorporate antivirus to ensure any malfunction could be avoided
  • Teradata modules could be enhanced
Teradata is quite user friendly and is a boon to organizations where data safekeeping is a major challenge. Data privacy is of utmost importance these days and so as data protection as some of those vital data could lead to legal suits if not stored properly. Thus Teradata fits the bill completly

Teradata Vantage is the main DW platform at SICREDI. Different front-end tools connect to Teradata Vantage to summary reports, which can be drilled-down. Besides that, Teradata Vantage supports many ad-hoc queries from users across the company.
Some regulation reports, which sweep different sources and generate XML outputs come from Teradata Vantage.
History data from source systems are kept in Teradata Vantage for a longer period of time. After that, Teradata Vantage NOS (Native Object Store) sends old data to S3 Parquet files to be stored as archived data.
  • ETL (Extract - Transfor - Load)
  • NOS to send data from Teradata Vantage to S3 and from S3 to Teradata Vantage
  • Teradata GeoSpacial feature
  • Bulk reading and writing in huge tables
  • MPP capacity already mature
  • Temporal Capacity more mature that other solutions
  • TASM
  • Unity (CDC needs a lot of improvement)
  • Ecosystem
  • Procedure programming language (very poor)
  • Functions programming language (very poor)
  • Space management needs improvement
  • BAR should be part of main solution and not an "extra" feature (as Oracle)
  • Native data masking feature (Oracle has "data redaction")
  • Teradata Vantage should have "Synonym" feature
Teradata Vantage is an excellent Analytics solution overall. Very well suited for data warehousing, ETL, mass data handling, front-end reporting, etc. Its MPP capability is mature due to several decades of experience. MPP capability fits very well for cloud computing paradigm. GeoSpacial feature is fine too. It does not seem very well suited for non-structured data (NoSQL). Also not well suited to be a transactional /operational DataBase, such as Oracle or DB2.

I use Teradata Vantage for developing ETL processes in the data warehouse. The organization uses Teradata Vantage to store data on sales, inventory, products, customers and other kinds of data. We develop KPIs for these topics and we develop reports in microstrategy that are connected to Teradata Vantage. We use Teradata Vantage to allow business users to extract data from the data warehouse using SAS Guide, Teradata Studio and Teradata SQL Assistant. Some of the business problems that the product addresses are sales, inventory, assortment, prices, customers, loyalty programs and forecasting. The main scope is to analyse historical data, but we are using it for analytical developments as well.
  • Data can be loaded quickly
  • It allows to load big quantities of data
  • It can be used with different products
  • It uses SQL language
  • Some functions are limited, for example pivot
  • It can improve data types or allow bigger sizes, example JSON data type should be bigger
It is less appropriate for online data and analytics functions
It is well suited for managing large quantities of data and extracting data fast

  • Analytical Capabilities
  • Customer Support
  • cloud offering (order process)

we use Teradata Vantage - Enterprise Data Warehousing on daily basis as a tool of choice to extract vast volumes of data to solve various data science and analytics related business challenges, we have multiple nodes of Teradata. It can not only help with data extraction and retrieval but vast number of analysis can be done with in Teradata while retrieving the data as it supports various aggregations and other functions that makes the process fast, easy and seamless.
  • aggregation
  • dates
  • window functions
  • fast response
  • CPU exception time error can sometimes causes a right query to fail so increasing that could be helpful.
the only reason i gave it 9 and not 10 is it only takes relational structured data but HDFS/Spark is a strong competitor which can do all this in conjunction with some other utilities and tools and can do more.

Teradata is used throughout the entire company. It is used to store and query a vast amount of data. We store almost all of our membership, claims, revenue, etc. in this application. Many reports utilize this application to easily compile data which can then be used in other applications to properly display and report findings
  • Stores large amount of data.
  • The syntax used is easy to learn.
  • Makes it easy to import and export your own data.
  • Sometimes it isn’t clear the reason an error will occur in the query. More detailed responses would be helpful
  • It can be slow at times when pulling large data amounts
  • Sometimes spool space will run out when trying to run certain queries
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.

Teradata is being used by the entire company with more than 1200 active users on a weekly basis. Teradata is our enterprise data warehouse. It was heavily used for handling massive volume of data to support our business with reports and raw data. It was used for analyzing web logs data.
  • Teradata is a MPP system and its capabilities allow [us] to process a huge amount of data with great performance since it works by the concept of nodes (amps), being scalable and offering great reliability about data recovering, massive processing managing, data backup, etc.
  • Teradata Vantage integrates Python, R and other tools that allow [us] to work and develop complex Data Science wise processes.
  • Teradata is extremely efficient and it has lot of utilities to support extraction from different source systems.
  • Support for geospatial data could be better.
  • Quite expensive compared to other products out there on the market.
Teradata query engine is one of the best optimizer.s It's much faster and convenient to develop ETL process with Tetadata since it is designed to work effectively for most of the queries. Teradata provides support for connecting with many different systems to load and transfer terabytes of data efficiently with faster turnaround time.

We have been using Teradata database in our project for a long time now and I am very happy with that decision of implementing it because it has far exceeded our expectations. So, the Teradata database is basically a Relational Database Management System which is highly Scalable, Available, Stable and Robust. It is mostly used by large organizations to develop enterprise Dataware housing model. Teradata is a good fit for you only if you are dealing with huge volumes of data otherwise it may not be cost-effective for you. This enables running massive volume queries swift and easy and the response time is outstanding as well.
  • Teradata database is based on Massively Parallel Processing (MPP) architecture. Because of this architecture, Teradata is able to share the workload evenly across all the system. It splits the work equally to its processes and each process runs in parallel to achieve the result in quickest possible time.
  • The underlying work is done by Teradata nodes, Access Module Processors (AMPs) and the disks associated with AMPs. The beauty is that none of them share any resources which means they all work independently and achieve actual parallel processing with the fastest results. The each AMP shares the same amount of work so that no resource stays idle and the output can be quicker.
  • Another excellent feature of Teradata is the Connectivity portion. It can so easily connect to almost all the major systems like Mainframes, Oracle DB or IBM DB2. The import of loads is super fast and efficient.
  • It is also really helpful when you have to troubleshoot an error because it provides great diagnostic information and therefore saves you a lot of time and effort by not having to go through all the logs manually and find the error and cause for it.
  • Teradata is an excellent option but only for a massive amount of data warehousing or analysis. If your data is not that big then it could be a misfit for your company and cost you a lot. The cost associated is quite extensive as compared to some other alternative RDBMS systems available in the market.
  • Migration of data from Teradata to some other RDBMS systems is quite painful as the transition is not that smooth and you need to follow many steps and even if one of them fails. You need to start from the beginning almost.
  • Last but not least the UI is pretty outdated and needs a revamp. Though it is simple, it needs to be presented in a much better way and more advanced options need to bee presented on the front page itself.
Teradata is especially useful when you are dealing with a large amount of data which needs to be analyzed and then you need to draw meaningful results and patterns out of that for future reference. Its parallel processing architecture is super fast and accurate giving you the results in the best possible time. Its primary role is the enterprise Dataware housing model.
