We performed a comparison between Actian Ingres and Snowflake based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."
"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."
"The technical support is pretty good, particularly if you are a more technical user."
"Its speed and performance were the most valuable. Easy configuration of Snowflake in any cloud was also a benefit."
"The adaptation to development languages is most valuable. Our developers can SQL code or something else. It has been convenient in that regard."
"This solution has helped our organization by being easy to maintain and having good technical support."
"Snowflake is scalable both in terms of the amount of data that you can run through it and the number of users that engage with it."
"It is a very well-distributed system. It has different data engines for different applications. Many applications can use different computational engines at the same time. In terms of data processing, the feeling was similar to working with a relational database but in a scalable way."
"I like the ability to work with a managed service on the cloud and that is easy to start with."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"I think that Snowflake could improve its user interface. The current one is not interactive."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
"In a future release we would like to have a link which would allow us to connect to an external database and create certain views in your own database. This is because it is becoming hard for us to compare the data between multiple sources."
"The solution should offer an on-premises version also. We have some requirements where we would prefer to use it as a template."
"There could be better ELT tools that are appropriate for Snowflake. We decided on Matillion and it seemed to be the only one. There need to be better choices, it would be great if Snowflake provided an ELT solution that people could use. Additionally, if there was a pure cloud-based ELT tool it would be useful."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"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."
"It would benefit from an administration that allows you to be aware of your credit consumption once you have the service so that you may be sure how many credits you are consuming when you use the platform and to make sure that you are making the most efficient use of these resources. In other words, to improve their interface so that you may monitor the consumption of your credits on Cloud."
