We performed a comparison between Oracle Exadata and Teradata based on our users’ reviews in five categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Teradata has a slight edge in this comparison since it received slightly higher marks in the Ease of Deployment category.
"The most valuable feature is the time to solution."
"We have used this solution for a long period of time so it has become easy for us to query any kind of data from Oracle Exadata which has been valuable."
"The most valuable feature is that you have the same familiar environment of an Oracle database but with the additional performance you get from this architecture."
"Before using this machine, we took no less than two days to run a report. Now, we can do it within five hours. So, there is a lot of improvement."
"It offers a significant advantage for accommodating a large number of users."
"Oracle Exadata's performance is one of its best features. We very satisfied with it."
"Oracle Exadata is stable."
"On-premises Exadata is just as stable as the cloud version. It's a very stable platform."
"It effectively has allowed us to remove over 20 portion copies of the data sets on other DB platforms for real-time operational reporting purposes."
"The flexibility in design is very good."
"The functionality of the solution is excellent."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"The most valuable features of Teradata are that it is a massively parallel platform and I can receive a lot of data and get the queries out correctly, especially if it's been appropriately designed. The native features make it very suitable for multiple large data tasks in a structured data environment. Additionally, the automation is very good."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"The feature that we find most valuable is its ability to perform Massive Parallel Processing."
"The most valuable features are the Shared-nothing architecture and data protection functionality."
"The solution could always be more stable and more reliable."
"Oracle Exadata compatibility with the analytics could be better and the OBIEE could improve. Oracle BI to Exadata needs to be improved. Even if the full analytics practice for Oracle should be improved and when compared with other solutions it is weak."
"The handling of temp space has room for improvement."
"We have experienced some issues with processing unstructured data on Exadata. This is an important requirement for our AIML based use case. Reactive analytics data can not be prepared easily in Oracle Exadata."
"Tech support sometimes takes some time to identify and rectify issues."
"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"It is difficult to evaluate return-on-investment because of the way billing is handled for the product. This should be improved by oracle."
"It would be nice to have a single click button to, say, migrate my VMware VM into the Oracle VM, or vice-versa."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transaction processes, as well as the reporting system."
"It could use some more advanced analytics relating to structured and semi-structured data."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"We tried to use case Teradata for a data warehouse system, but we had some problems in relation to the Teradata system, CDC tools, and source databases. We were unable to transfer data from HPE Integrity mainframe to Teradata."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
