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 speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"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."
"It is easy to scale."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"Its speed is great."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"It is a stable program."
"The most valuable features are the large volume of data and the structuring of the data to optimize it and get very optimal data warehouse solutions for customers."
"We really enjoy the FastLoad, TPump, and MultiLoad features."
"The ability to handle machine data parallel processing is the most valuable feature of Teradata."
"Parallel processing features have helped to easily dump any size of data and retrieve data with great performance."
"I found all parts --loading, transformation, processing & querying work in parallel, and end-to-end-- to be valuable."
"It's the same as your visual database. I like the fast load feature for data, the BTQ solution is very good, and storage procedures are very fast."
"It has reduced a lot of reworking on maintaining indexes, partitions, etc."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"An additional feature I would you like to see included in the next release, is that it needs to be more cloud-friendly."
"It needs a teaching web site with more training on third-party tools used for BI."
"Sometimes the large injestion takes days to load data, and some of our stored procedures take two to three days."
"Teradata needs to expand the kind of training that's available to customers. Teradata only offers training directly and doesn't delegate to any third-party companies. As a result, it's harder to find people trained on Teradata in our market relative to Oracle."
"The solution is stable. However, there are times when we are using large amounts of data and we can see some latency issues."
"Teradata's UI could be more user-friendly."
"The solution needs improvement in its stability, support and pricing."
"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."
