Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about it."
"We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it."
"The UI is very simple and functional for my clients, most of the clients that use the solution are not experts."
"The solution's integration is good."
"The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data."
"The feature updates on the on-premise solution come very slowly, and it would be great if they came faster."
"It could offer more development across the solution."
"Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution."
"More tools to help designers should be included."
"I would like to see better visualization features."
"I think that the error messages need to be made more specific."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."

You are asking about front end tools but you do not mention which ones. What you have are "database backends" and each has different features. The utilization will depend on what kind of expertise you have available else you will end up trying to implement say, Teradata on Exadata which may not give you the best solution. What are your criteria for success? Based on these you will have to evaluate each solution -- I am sure each vendor will be happy to set up the environment and work with your set of sampl,e data to show you have they evaluate against your criteria.
Given we partner with many or all of the above, or can get to them as we access all data, I have the following opinion - InfoBright is very new and probable to be sold long term. It is also an expensive subscription so presents highest risk to me. Exidata is Oracle - if you like Oracle and their style, it maybe ok, but then it is Oracle. Microsoft is Microsoft - tends to be cheap to acquire and expensive to implement and maintain. Teradata is pricey but of the group presents the least risk and the greatest number of front end partners. The product I represent is unique as it is designed for high complexity large numbers of users and data and runs inside Teradata taking better advantage of the architecture.
