We performed a comparison between AWS Lake Formation and Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most important advantage in using AWS Lake Formation is its ability to connect the data lake to the other technologies in AWS. This is what I advise my clients."
"It is seamlessly integrated within the AWS ecosystem, making it straightforward to manage access patterns for AWS-native services."
"The solution is quite good at handling analytics. It's done a good job at helping us centralize them."
"The solution has many features that are applicable to events such as audits."
"We use AWS Lake Formation typically for the data warehouse."
"The solution integrates well with Power BI."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."
"It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"The product is easy to use."
"The solution is self-securing. All data is encrypted and security updates and patches are applied automatically both periodically and off-cycle."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"The performance and scalability are awesome."
"AWS Lake Formation's pricing could be cheaper."
"It falls short when it comes to more granular access control, such as cell-level or row-level entitlements which is a significant drawback for organizations that require precise control over who can access specific rows of data."
"For the end-users, it's not as user-friendly as it could be."
"In our experience what could be improved are not the support, performance or monitoring, but at a managerial level, the very expensive professional services of AWS. This could be an area of improvement for them. It's too expensive to acquire their support."
"The solution could make improvements around orchestration and doing some automation stuff on AWS front automation. It would be useful if we could use automation to build images and use hardened images which are CIS compliant."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"One of the major problem is creating custom tablespace. The ADB serverless option doesn't support custom tablespace creation, which could cause issues during on-premise database migration that requires specifically named tablespace. There should be an option to create customized tablespace."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"A lot of the tools that were previously there have now been taken away."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
