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."Snowflake is a database, and it is very good and useful. The most interesting part is that memory management is very good in Snowflake. For a business intelligence project, SQL Server is taking a lot of time for reporting services. There are a lot of calculations, and the reporting time is shown as two minutes, whereas Snowflake is taking just two seconds for the same reporting services."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"Once you have finished your designs they can be easily imported to Snowflake and the information can be readily accessed without an IT expert."
"Great scalability and near zero maintenance."
"Time travel is one feature that really helps us out."
"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."
"The most valuable features are sharing data, Time Travel, Zero Copy Cloning, performance, and speed."
"Very easy to use and easy to query."
"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."
"The product is reliable."
"For the Snowflake database, there should be some third-party features for the ETL. It would also be good to be able to use some kind of controls to get the data either from another database or a flat file. Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."
"The solution needs more connectors."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
"The UI could improve because sometimes in the security query the UI freezes. We then have to close the window and restart."
"There is a need for improvements in the documentation, this would allow more people to switch over to this solution."
"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."
"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."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
