We performed a comparison between Snowflake and Teradata Cloud 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 valuable feature is the clone copy."
"The Time Travel feature is helpful for accessing historical data and the ability to clone external tables is useful."
"Snowflake is an enormously useful platform. The Snowpipe feature is valuable because it allows us to load terabytes and petabytes of data into the data mart at a very low cost."
"Data sharing is a good feature. It is a majorly used feature. The elastic compute is another big feature. Separating compute and storage gives you flexibility. It doesn't require much DBA involvement because it doesn't need any performance tuning. We are not really doing any performance tuning, and the entire burden of performance tuning and SQL tuning is on Snowflake. Its usability is very good. I don't need to ramp up any user, and its onboarding is easier. You just onboard the user, and you are done with it. There are simple SQL and UI, and people are able to use this solution easily. Ease of use is a big thing in Snowflake."
"The pricing is reasonable and matches the rest of the market."
"Very easy to use and easy to query."
"From a data warehouse perspective, it's an excellent all-round solution. It's very complete."
"It is a very easy-to-use solution. It is user-friendly, and its setup time is very less."
"The product is reliable."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"Snowflake could improve if they had an Operational Data Store(ODS) space."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
"In future releases, it can also support full unstructured data."
"The data sharing capabilities across business units within the organization should be better."
"Their strategy is just to leverage what you've got and put Snowflake in the middle. It does work well with other tools. You have to buy a separate reporting tool and a separate data loading tool, whereas, in some platforms, these tools are baked in. In the long-term, they'll need to add more direct partnerships to the ecosystem so that it's not like adding on tools around Snowflake to make it work. They can also consider including Snowflake native reporting tools versus partnering with other reporting tools. It would kind of change where they sit in the market."
"Support needs improvement, as it can take several days before you get some initial support."
"There is a scope for improvement. They don't currently support integration with some of the Azure and AWS native services. It would be good if they can enhance their product to integrate with these services."
"Their UiPath, the workspace area, needs some work."
"It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
