Convenient and reliable
What do you like best about the product?
It is a very powerful relational database but still very convenient. Supports new SQL syntax. The editor has a lot of options. Can edit and process results right within the results window.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the database can be tricky and take up some time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used it for general database interface solution. Users reach database through the Teradata client. Easy to learn, strong performance.
Teradata helps me to access research data
What do you like best about the product?
Teradata helps me to store and access research data that is generated by a third party vendor. We can easily map this data back to our own customer database using a key field.
What do you dislike about the product?
Difficult to explain to others in the marketing and research organziations, but this is a function of any relational database, not the fault of this product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to take ownership and control of our data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Suits my needs as a technical market research user.
Up and running in under an hour...
...just as promised by Teradata CTO Stephen Brobst. Woo-hoo!!!By using mostly default settings you should be up and running without too much trouble. You will have to choose/provide the following:>- AWS region - number of nodes required (1-32) - system name & DBC password - EC2 instance type & storage It will be necessary to configure a separate ETL server (EC2 instance) running Teradata Tools Utilities (TTU) so you can run things like TPT, Arc, Fastload, BTEQ etc. Desktop access is straightforward via Visual Studio or SQL Assistant ('Queryman'). This is v15.1 of Teradata's Enterprise edition which contains good stuff like TASM, columnar & temporal. The ability to perform backup/restore via S3 is a great benefit. A big 'well done' to Teradata and Amazon :-)
Highly Scalable with massive parallel processing
What do you like best about the product?
Teradata is highly scalable database with massive parallel processing capability. Teradata has shared nothing architecture providing high level data protection. Ad hoc requests are processed across multiple AMPS and well suited for datawarehousing applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
Teradata database license and hardware is expensive. Not suitable for OLTP system. Partitioned columns has to be part of Primary Index.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data warehousing solutions for big data volume.

Highly recommended for data warehousing application with big data volume.

What do you like best about the product?
Wow! There are so many things.
-> I guess I can start with MPP architecture. Yes, of course other database shave caught up to Teradata with that regard.
-> easy syntax. The syntax of Teradata is clean and pure. It is not as complicated as SQL Server or Oracle.
-> Used extensively for Datawarehousing and Business Intelligence Applications
-> Primary and Secondary Index for Data Storage and Data Retreival
-> Full table scanning is a real possibility in this table, without taking much time.
-> Fastload, Multiload capablities couples with t-pump for near real time operations.

What do you dislike about the product?
Having worked on this database for quite a few years, there is very little that I do not like about this product.
-> The fast load and multiload are currently a set of scripts. If this can be somehow made into a GUI that can enable easier load of data (like the fastload and multiload supported expressions in other ETL tools) it could be useful.
-> May be if at all there was anything to be worked on (like 1/10 chances if any changes would be made), may be the GUI (the visuals) could be made a little more appealing.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have worked on more than a couple of projects dealing with Teradata Database. The best of the implementations was as a Data Driven Decision making application.
Benefits
-> Can load multiple sources of data
-> Unlike SQL Server or Oracle, there was no need to write PL/SQL. SQL DML was sufficient to suffice the requirement.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great Product. Depends on the application to be used. If the company needs massive data to be queries and reported on then go for Teradata. If the data volume is not too high this could be a costly expense.
Useful But Not for Amateur Users
What do you like best about the product?
The error messages give you obvious feedback on lines that need to be changed in order to make your query run.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a heavy manual use application. There are no wizards that walk you through selecting data elements from various tables. You have to know exactly what you need and where it is sourced from in order to write an efficient query.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helpful for pulling data quickly to do on-the-spot trending and pull dollar figures associated with certain criteria.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend purchasing a supplemental software that is more of a plug-and-play or wizard based application, as it may be more user friendly than working with Teradata directly.
Strong and powerful database for data analysis
What do you like best about the product?
I have used lot many database softwares and Teradata is one of them. This product is also referred to as a "data warehouse system".
I like working with teradata as it provides strong technology solution towards industry data models,data mart consolidation, warehouse migration,hybrid cloud.. and many other features. So much diversified and fits for small and big corporation.

What do you dislike about the product?
I so far enjoyed working with this system. I did not find much negative points but listing some here which I faced while working with it:
1. The names of Teradata columns cannot exceed 30 characters.
2. When writing to Teradata, the InfoSphere DataStage column definitions should not contain fields of the following types like:
BigInt (int64)
Unsigned integer of any size
String, fixed- or variable-length, longer than 32 KB
Raw, fixed- or variable-length, longer than 32 KB
vectors
