Oracle Application Database Administrator at RP Sanjiv Goenka Group
Manages extensive utility billing applications efficiently with trusted performance and robust support
Currently, I have a very good experience with Oracle Multitenant. The pluggable database is easy to handle and manage, sharing resources efficiently. However, Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it.

Delivers consistent performance and enables advanced analytics across complex data environments
Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing and analyzing large volumes of data. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in highly demanding environments. One of its most notable strengths is the ability to run complex queries at high speed, which is essential for organizations that require timely and reliable analytics. Teradata offers a well-integrated ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow. Its focus on advanced analytics, integration with modern business intelligence tools, and the ability to operate both on-premise and in the cloud make it a versatile solution for data warehousing and large-scale processing. Teradata's stability, technological maturity, and the availability of strong documentation and best practices are noteworthy. I consider Teradata to be a tool with great potential for any organization looking to enhance its analytical capabilities, optimize data processing, and move toward more data-driven decision-making. Teradata stands out as a solid platform for managing a large volume of data in different projects. Its architecture allows information to be processed efficiently while maintaining stable performance, even in high-demanding environments. A well-integrated AI ecosystem that supports working with different types of data and enables scalability as organizational needs grow across different kinds of enterprises or organizations. The focus on advanced analytics integration with modern business intelligence tools is particularly valuable. Teradata combines a powerful parallel process and optimizing SQL engine with a highly scalable architecture allowing businesses to execute complex queries and analytics in real-time. It supports multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments, giving organizations flexibility to choose the setup that best aligns with their strategy. One of the biggest strengths is the ability to unify disparate data sources and support high concurrency, enabling different teams, such as analytics, operations, BI, and data science, to access consistent, trusted data across the enterprise.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I would rate the scalability a ten out of ten. Our clients are mostly medium and enterprise businesses."
"I have used it for various clients and it's been working like a breeze."
"There are only benefits to using this solution."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"This solution is scalable. This is a good product for consolidation purposes."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"As far as this product is concerned, we are happy with this product."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"I've never had any issues with scalability."
"Teradata is great as far as scalability once you have the product."
"It is a solid database a lot of different tools to move data."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"Auto-partitioning and indexing, and resource allocation on the fly are key features."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"It has massive parallel processing ability to do large amounts of concurrent querying."
"The most important thing we get out of the product is the intelligence that we derive."
 

Cons

"The main area for improvement is regarding backup and recovery. Today, it’s difficult to set a pluggable database to a former point in time because flashback pluggable database doesn’t exist."
"This solution is a bit complicated when collecting from containers - that feature should be a bit better."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"Oracle license pricing is an issue due to its high cost. Our organization is compelled to reduce CPU usage by seventy CPUs because the Oracle license cost depends on it."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The solution is partially extendable. It is not very easy to scale. If we want to grow, we need additional servers, which is why we are considering the cloud."
"An area that needs improvement is the cloud-based version of the solution because it's designed for on-prem and then transferred to the cloud version."
"The following could be better: licensing, architecture openness, integration with other tools."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
"The technical support is good but they could improve because sometimes they can take two weeks to resolve issues."
"Limited interest and success in some areas make us hesitate about upgrading."
"It should be compatible and free on CLOUD/ AWS. Currently many DB's on AWS are free, Teradata is also on Amazon Web Services, but its charged and no documentation available to practice those LABS."
"Query language and its functionality are rather limited, compared to Oracle or even SQL Server. However, it is possible to perform any kind of logic in it (though some workarounds may be required)."
"If I want to implement an upgrade, I'd like to see how it will be different."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"The price is worth the quality."
"We had a lot of parties involved when purchasing from the AWS Marketplace. They are very flexible and aggressive in trying to close the deal. They are good at what they have to offer and listening to the customer. It's a two-way street."
"The price of Teradata is on the higher side, and I think that it where they lose out on some of their business."
"Teradata is expensive but gives value for money, especially if you don't want to move your data to the cloud."
"The price of the solution could be reduced, it is expensive."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive."
"The price of Teradata is expensive. However, what they deliver they are outstanding. If you're looking for an inexpensive solution to run a database, this isn't your tool. It's the Ferrari of databases for data warehousing."
"It is still a very expensive solution. While I very much like the pure technological supremacy of the software itself, I believe Teradata as a company needs to become more affordable. They are already losing the market to more flexible or cheaper competitors."
"Users have to pay a yearly licensing fee for Teradata IntelliFlex, which is very expensive."
