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 solution's customer service is good."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just need to follow the documentation."
"The thing I find most valuable is that scalability, space storage, and computing power is separate. When you scale up, it is live from one second to the next — constantly available as you scale — so there is no downtime or interruption of services."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"The ETL and data ingestion capabilities are better in this solution as compared to SQL Server. SQL Server doesn't do much data ingestion, but Snowflake can do it quite conveniently."
"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The most valuable features are sharing data, Time Travel, Zero Copy Cloning, performance, and speed."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries."
"The cost efficiency and monitoring of this solution could be improved. It's easy to spend a lot on Snowflake and it does offer monitoring tools but they're pretty basic."
"Snowflake could improve migration. It should be made easier. It would be beneficial if it could offer some OLTP features. One of our customers was using Oracle for both data warehousing and OLTP workloads, and they were able to migrate their data warehousing workloads to Snowflake without major issues. However, for some of their OLTP requirements, such as needing a response time of fewer than 10 milliseconds for certain queries, Snowflake is currently unable to provide that."
"It needs a bit more rigor and governance, which is something you don't get with newer tools. This makes it less enterprise scalable. Its governance and structure can be enhanced, which would really be valuable. I would like to see some kind of prebuilt functionality in terms of having almost like a pre-built data warehouse. A functionality for generating automated kind of pieces would be good."
"We are yet to figure out how to integrate tools, such as Liquibase, to release changes to our data warehouse model."
"It doesn't enforce typical relational database constraints. Quite expensive."
"It's difficult to know how to size everything correctly."
"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."
"Support needs improvement, as it can take several days before you get some initial support."
"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."
"It could be a bit more user-friendly."
