Overall Satisfaction with Teradata Vantage

Teradata Vantage is the main on-premise data storage solution used across the company. We rely on it to build and mantain data products and processes that serve multiple business units. As a data scientist , I work closely with Teradata Vantage to develop and deploy various ETL processes and data pipelines, especially for risk management and analytical purposes. It plays a critical role in supporting data-driven decision making and ensuring realiable access to histoircal and operational data.

Pros

  • Handle large-scale and complex SQL queries.
  • You can have scheduled ETLs running while also querying interactively.
  • It integrates really well with Python, facilitating orchestration and different automations.

Cons

  • Documentation is clumsy, and often misses hands-on examples
  • For beginners, it might have a steep learning curve.
  • Teradata Vantage Studio UI seems a little bit outdated.
  • Improved risk detection efficiency: using Teradata Vantage as ETL handler, we reduced monthly manual review time of money laundering alerts by 40% (1 hour saved per day per analyst).
  • Data reliability: by centralizing the money laundering detection ETL, we ensure consistent and audit-ready outputs.
  • Regulatory response: the system enables a fast monthly alert delivery, helping meet UIF reporting deadlines with greater confidence and traceability.
Teradata Vantage is powerful and realiable for large-scale data processing, especially in companies with heavy SQL workloads as the one I work for. It integrates well with our existing stack and performs consistently under high data volumes. This makes it especially valuable for scenarios like regulatory reporting and risk monitoring, where both scale and realiability are non-negotiable.

Do you think Teradata Vantage delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with Teradata Vantage's feature set?

Yes

Did Teradata Vantage live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Teradata Vantage go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Teradata Vantage again?

Yes

Teradata Vantage is well suited for large scale ETL pipelines like the ones we developed for anti money laundering risk matrices. It handles heavy joins, aggregations, and transformations on transactional data efficiently. We generate alert variables, adjust for inflation, and monitor establishments monthly with it, all integrated with Python and Control-M for a centralised automation across the company. For less appropriate, I would say that heavy resource demands might slow down experimentation for iterative work.
