We performed a comparison between Exasol and Teradata based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is easy to scale."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"Its speed is great."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"It's very mature from a technology perspective."
"The key advantages are Performance when processing Terabytes of data and scalability."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"Teradata's best feature is its speed with historical data."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"Data synchronization to the DR site."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Since I was working on the very basic, legacy systems, the memory thing was always a challenge. If Teradata is moving to the cloud, the space constraint or the memory issue that my company generally faces will eventually resolve, in time. What I'd like to see in the next release of Teradata is that it becomes full-fledged on the cloud, apart from better connectivity to various systems. For example, if I have to read or include a Python script, if I write some basic codes, I should be able to read even unstructured data. I know that it's not supported even in Snowflake, but at least semi-structured data support, if that can be a little more enhanced, that would be good."
