We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database 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."The solution's security is very tough and impenetrable."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"The most valuable feature of the IBM Db2 Database is security."
"The solution is easy to install and simple to maintain. The most valuable aspect of the solution is its general user-friendliness for users of all kinds."
"Db2 database scalability and performance capabilities match our database needs. It covers pretty much everything a database administrator or engineer might need."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Very good for performance and scalability."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Teradata can be deployed on-premise, on the cloud, or in a virtual machine, which means customers can move without having to create their architecture all over again."
"It is a stable program."
"Cuts time to process huge amounts of data with efficient analytical queries."
"It's a pre-configured appliance that requires very little in terms of setting-up."
"Viewpoint, the detailed query logs and performance statistics are valuable features."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"Building a data warehouse with Teradata has definitely helped a lot of our downstream applications to more easily access information."
"Their extensive experience in data warehousing, the platform's performance, and their strong reputation in the market are the most valuable."
"The management of Db2 should be simplified because there are not too many specialists in this area, and the learning curve of Db2 specialists is very long. After the courses, probably it takes one and a half or two years to get to the point when you are using the product properly in the production systems. So, the complexity is very high, and the most important thing is to simplify the management of the product, including self-maintenance. They should simplify the installation, management, and monitoring to simplify the product. It takes too long for a person to be a specialist in this product."
"The tool is not easy to use. It needs to improve scale computing so that the tool can be scaled vertically. The product needs to enhance pre-engine optimization and it needs to be more efficient in completing queries. The documentation should be updated to include different scenarios of deployment."
"The application development requires a Java developer and not every company has these resources."
"It would be ideal if the solution offered backup functionality. Many similar tools already do, which means Db2 is somewhat behind the curve in terms of what a customer might expect from it."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve the user-defined functions. There are some user-defined functions that are missing, such as the spring functions. I used to have Teradata for my projects and I was used to working in the environment. They had a good set of user-defined functions."
"Db2 interface could be improved a bit. Comparing it to Oracle, Db2's interfaces could be improved."
"The problem with this environment is that any software that you install is very costly because there are no free tools for this environment."
"There could be better integration with some cloud solutions."
"I would like to see more integration with many different types of data."
"The solution could improve by having a cloud version or a cloud component. We have to use other solutions, such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Snowflake for the cloud."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"GUI of administrative tools is really outdated."
"The user interface needs to be improved."
"It's primarily designed for big projects and therefore, the pricing is pretty high. It's not suitable for smaller companies."
"Teradata's UI could be improved."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
