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 efficient way for real-time dashboards or analytical business intelligence reports to be sent to the customer."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just need to follow the documentation."
"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 solution is very stable."
"I like the ability to work with a managed service on the cloud and that is easy to start with."
"The cloning functionality has been the most valuable. I have been able to completely copy databases. The data sharing concept is also useful. As compared to, for example, SAP, Snowflake is a lot more open, and it allows a lot more connectivity for other providers than an SAP ecosystem."
"All the people who are working with Snowflake are extremely happy with it because it is designed from a data-warehousing point of view, not the other way around. You have a database and then you tweak it and then it becomes a data warehouse."
"It is a very good platform. It can handle structured and semi-structured data, and it can be used for your data warehouse or data lake. It can load and deal with any data that you have. It can extract data from an on-premises database or a website and make it available in the cloud. It has very fast implementation and integration as compared to other solutions. There is no need for the DBA to manage or do the day-to-day DBA tasks, which is one of the greatest things about it."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"The product is reliable."
"The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier."
"I have heard people having difficulty with the machine learning model, so there may be room for improvement."
"These aren't as crucial, but there are common errors sometimes where the database is down, or a table is nullified and a new table is added and you are not given access to that. With those errors, you don't have permissions."
"An additional feature I'd like to see is called materialized views, which can speed up some run times. I'd like it to be able to be used where you can have multiple tables inside them; materialized view. That would be nice. As well as being able to run cursors, to be able to do some bulk updates and some more advanced querying, table building on the fly."
"The cost is a bit high."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
"Snowflake has support for stored procedures, but it is not that powerful."
"There is a need for improvements in the documentation, this would allow more people to switch over to this solution."
"Maybe there could be some more connectors to other systems, but this is what they are constantly developing anyway."
"It could be a bit more user-friendly."
"The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets."
