Teradata Vantage Reviews

“Using Presto Technology to enhance a Teradata-driven experience

Pros

PrestoSQL (now Trino) provides excellent connectivity to various data storage platforms. When paired with Teradata, it greatly expands the range of external data sources that Teradata users can access.

Cons

The compatibility of Teradata Querygrid with its PrestoSQL case lags behind the open-source community. Integrations often need to remain several versions behind what's available elsewhere. Teradata has also mentioned in the past that they plan to discontinue support for this product in the future.

“Great product with amazing features

Pros

It supports languages like Python, can be deployed anywhere, is easy to use and is something I frequently rely on due to its simplicity and smooth implementation.

Cons

So far.. no major issues. Vantage has all the new features but I believe more customer support would be helpful.

“Excellent support and performance, but needs more recognition

Pros

Both the performance and support are truly impressive.

Cons

The name recognition among junior developers and the user experience of Teradata Studio could be improved.

“Love it. Excellent product with incredible support

Pros

I enjoy the informal presentations and round tables. They're really helpful for seeing how the software operates and hearing about practical use cases for cloud migration and AI.

Cons

Location is great but it's quite far from the airports, which isn't convenient for many of us.

“Incredibly fast and efficient

Pros

The interface of Teradata Vantage is top-notch.

Cons

The versions are different and it's not as user-friendly as SAS.

“Still new to the product, but it's performing well so far

Pros

Support from the Teradata team has been exceptional, both during implementation and in providing ongoing assistance.

Cons

Nothing I can really point out as negative.

“Effective integrations and amazing features

Pros

The UI is user-friendly and familiar to anyone experienced with standard SQL technology. I also appreciate how easily it integrates with non-database files and how the technology is applied where both data and processing are located.

Cons

At this point, I can't really identify any clear disadvantages or dislikes. The main question I have is whether this product will truly improve performance and scalability for my specific use cases. Essentially do I need this product or the support from the Teradata team to meet my organization's needs?

“Very reliable tool

Pros

The performance is incredibly fast, and the implementation process is smooth.

Cons

Convincing end users who are set in their ways can be a challenge.

“The top platform for analytics and customer-centric solutions (Clearscape, CloudLake, AI/ML)

Pros

It is a comprehensive platform for creating data warehouses and cloud lakes, delivering excellent value with Clearscape Analytics and seamless, cloud agnostic implementations. After 18 years of working with this technology, I've recently been impressed by the Vantage SaaS offering and the Vantage cloud console UI, which stands out as one of the best with numerous built-in features. The advancements in AI/ML over recent months have been outstanding, helping large clients streamline their analytics, models and reporting. It's one of the most secure, fully governed platforms compliant with industry standards, and its cloud presence across multiple hyperscalers makes it stand out. The integration capabilities are excellent!! customers can fully leverage the multi-cloud platform, Vantage Cloud Lake, NOS capabilities, Query Grid, disaster recovery solutions and operational excellence in the SaaS model. It also integrates with Microsoft Fabric for serverless queries. Data scientists can use the BYOM feature to integrate models, work with notebooks created on other platforms, and take advantage of 4D analytics and numerous built-in user-defined functions for top-quality analytics. There are more features on the horizon, which will make it an even stronger competitor against technologies like Snowflake and Databricks.

Cons

Not much to complain about. Recently Teradata's engineering team has really enhanced its capabilities, making Teradata Vantage a true Lakehouse platform with Clearscape analytics and AI/ML capabilities.
