Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The product is stable."
"The solution's performance is really good. Also, it's easy to operate, easy to administer, and relatively simple to install."
"It is a very stable solution."
"From an ERP point of view and a functionality point of view, it works very well. The benefits are in that of financial costing and material management."
"One significant advantage of SAP BW/4HANA is the direct integration with the SAP HANA database, providing seamless access to real-time analytics. Additionally, it enables real-time data integration. We don't need to rely on historical data alone; we can provide reporting and features based on real-time information."
"Provides a great analytics engine with all the capabilities."
"It can calculate data in detail. Before we could not calculate financial documents and accountant documents in detail, we could not do it at a document level but now we can. This is the most important feature. It also has predictive analysis memory."
"We like that it is an SAP product, so we can easily connect with the SAP ERP system."
"Teradata's most valuable feature is that it's easy to use."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"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."
"There are several features of Teradata that I like. One of the most basic is the indexes. I also like that it provides lower TCO. It also has the optimizer feature which is a good feature and isn't found in other legacy systems. Parallelism is also another feature I like in Teradata because when you are running or hosting on multiple systems, you have this shared-nothing architecture that helps. Loading and unloading in Teradata are also really helpful compared to other systems."
"Teradata features high productivity and reliability because it has several redundancy options, so the system is always up and running."
"A conventional and easily defined way to build a data warehouse or a layer of data marts."
"Teradata solutions help organizations reduce IT, operations, and maintenance costs; enhance on-time delivery of products and services."
"It has given our business the ability to gain insights into the data and create data labs for analysis and PoCs."
"Pricing would be a good improvement. A lot of customers think that it's very expensive and especially support is very expensive."
"The licensing cost could be made better."
"It takes too long to escalate problems from the first level of support."
"Connecting multiple sources is a challenge because you have to go through a lot of different setups."
"The solution is not scalable. It does not have a data streaming feature as well."
"From a technical perspective, it could be even more related to legacy systems. The connectivity requirement is quite high and requires systems that are up-to-date."
"Not a ten because it's expensive and its ecosystem is not very open."
"BW/4HANA could improve query optimization. For example, there could be an error message that pops up when you hover over it if any query fails. That would make it easier to find out what went gone wrong. Guided SAP help tools would make it easier for us to go forward."
"There is some improvement required on OLTP level and some analytical function is missing."
"Teradata should focus on functionality for building predictive models because, in that regard, it can definitely improve."
"Teradata needs to pay attention to the cloud-based solution to make sure it runs smoothly."
"I'm not sure about the unstructured data management capabilities. It could be improved."
"Data ingestion is done via external utilities and not by the query language itself. It would be more convenient to have that functionality within its SQL dialect."
"Needs compatibility with more Big Data platforms."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"I would like to see an improved Knowledge Base on the web."
