We performed a comparison between Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse and Snowflake 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."It is a very stable tool...It is an extremely scalable tool."
"Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse is used globally to deliver extreme performance on large Financial data sets."
"It is a stable and scalable solution."
"The product is easy to use."
"One advantage is that if you already have an Oracle Database, it easily integrates with that."
"It provides Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) capabilities by default to address data security issues."
"With Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse, things are much simpler. Creating a structure, initializing the servers, extending the servers, those are all things that are very, very easy. That's the main reason we use it."
"A very good integration feature that restricts access to unauthorized people."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"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 Mbps they have established is quite a bit faster than any other data warehouse."
"Data Science capabilities are the most valuable feature."
"For us, the virtual warehousing is likely the most valuable aspect."
"Very easy to use and easy to query."
"It was relatively easy to use, and it was easy for people to convert to it."
"A user-friendly and reliable solution."
"Sometimes the solution works differently between the cloud and on-premises. It needs to be more consistent and predictable."
"The solution lacks visibility options."
"The initial setup was pretty complex. It was not easy."
"There is a need for more storage to be allocated, but over a period of time, it becomes impossible to reduce it after using it."
"The installation process is complex. Oracle can make the installation process better."
"It doesn't work well when you have unstructured data or you need online analytics. It is not as nice as Hadoop in these aspects."
"An improvement for us would be the inclusion of support for an internal IP, so we could use it directly with the VCN in Oracle Cloud."
"Ease of connectivity could be improved."
"There are always a few operation updates here and there that can be made."
"Every product has room for improvement, although in this case, it needs some broadening of the functionality."
"Snowflake has to build more capabilities because they have only built very few adapters, but they're growing and they're building. They should provide provisions to collect ETL pipeline capabilities, reduce developer work, and make more rapid application development, rather than some customizations. There are very few options, but they are building. I hope they will build ETL rapid application development provisions with more variety."
"Support needs improvement, as it can take several days before you get some initial support."
"They do have a native connector to connect with integration tools for loading data, but it would be much better to have the functionality built-in."
"I would like to see a client version of the GUI."
"Its pricing or affordability is one of the big challenges. Pricing was the only thing that we didn't like about Snowflake. In terms of technical features, it is a complete solution."
"We are yet to figure out how to integrate tools, such as Liquibase, to release changes to our data warehouse model."
