We performed a comparison between Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Snowflake 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 solution integrates well with Power BI."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"I loved the simplicity of loading the data and simply relying on the self-tuning capabilities of ADW."
"It is an extremely scalable solution since you can dynamically change the resources as some other cloud solutions."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"Its performance is most valuable. As compared to SQL Server, we are able to see a significant improvement in performance with Snowflake."
"I have found the solution's most valuable features to be storage, flexibility, ease of use, and security."
"This solution has helped our organization by being easy to maintain and having good technical support."
"They separate compute and storage. You can scale storage independently of the computer, or you can scale computing independently of storage. If you need to buy more computer parts you can add new virtual warehouses in Snowflake. Similarly, if you need more storage, you take more storage. It's most scalable in the database essentially; typically you don't have this scalability independence on-premises."
"The product's most important feature is unloading data to S3."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature has been the Snowflake data sharing and dynamic data masking."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake is it's an all-in-one data warehousing solution."
"I would like to see Application Express and Oracle R Enterprise fully supported, and I would like to see Oracle Data Mining supported as a front end."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"I would like to see an on-premise solution in the future."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"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."
"I am still in the learning stage. It has good security, but it can always be more secure."
"Their UiPath, the workspace area, needs some work."
"These days, they are pushing users towards the GUI or graphical version. However, I am more familiar with the classic version. I'd like to continue to work with it using the older approach."
"The solution could improve by allowing non-structured data, such as PDFs, images, or videos. We cannot see the data."
"Product activation queries can't be changed while executing."
"There are some stored procedures that we've had trouble with. The solution also needs to fine-tune the connectors to be able to connect into the system source."
"They have a new console, but I couldn't figure out anything in the new console. So, if I shift to the old console, I can figure out where to create the database schema and other things, but I have no idea where to go in the new console. That's one thing they can improve. I don't know why they created a new console to confuse. The old, classic console is much better."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
