Overall Satisfaction with Teradata Enterprise Data Warehousing
Teradata was bought to consolidate and unify our data platform, leverage the performance of the Teradata Appliance to derive faster results
- Very capable enterprise data warehouse platform leveraging the MPP architecture. One of the leaders in the market in MPP space today
- High performance data ingestion and query engine
- Utilities like QueryGrid allows for data federation, BTEC and FastLoad etc allow for high performance data ingestion and processing
- Ideally being used for ELT type data integration, with push down optimisation where complex logic is processed using the power of Teradata appliance than the ETL server
- MPP architecture is becoming legacy architecture with the advent of Hadoop, MongoDB etc.
- Though QueryGrid and Teradata on Hadoop are available, they are add-ons to an already pricey Teradata appliance
- Performance is well appreciated
- Data ingestion is faster and so is data retrieval compared to erstwhile database platform
- Helped with faster decision making
We did not really evaluate various cloud offerings and opted for on-premise database platform. Compared to Oracle and SQL Server, Teradata fared well with respect to performance
