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."
"For us, the virtual warehousing is likely the most valuable aspect."
"The most valuable features are sharing data, Time Travel, Zero Copy Cloning, performance, and speed."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the snapshot database. In one second, you can just take a snapshot of the database for test purposes."
"I like Snowflake's data exchange capabilities. It can exchange data with downstream systems and other vendor partners as well."
"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."
"The adaptation to development languages is most valuable. Our developers can SQL code or something else. It has been convenient in that regard."
"The technical support is pretty good, particularly if you are a more technical user."
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."
"More data governance and access control features would be a welcome addition."
"The solution needs more connectors."
"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."
"The design of the product is easily misunderstood."
"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."
"Snowflake needs transparency over costs and pricing."
"Snowflake has to improve their spatial parts since it doesn't have much in terms of geo-spatial queries."
"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."
