We performed a comparison between Snowflake and Teradata IntelliFlex based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the solution's most valuable features to be storage, flexibility, ease of use, and security."
"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."
"From a data warehouse perspective, it's an excellent all-round solution. It's very complete."
"It was relatively easy to use, and it was easy for people to convert to it."
"The most valuable feature is the clone copy."
"It requires no maintenance on our part. They handle all that. The speed is phenomenal. The pricing isn't really anything more than what you would be paying for a SQL server license or another tool to execute the same thing. We have zero maintenance on our side to do anything and the speed at which it performs queries and loads the data is amazing. It handles unstructured data extremely well, too. So, if the data is in a JSON array or an XML, it handles that super well."
"Its speed and performance were the most valuable. Easy configuration of Snowflake in any cloud was also a benefit."
"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."
"It is very stable. It's 100% uptime. Speed and resilience are one of the greatest features of this product. In almost twenty years we've never had downtime, except for outages for patches and upgrades. We've never had a system failure in twenty years."
"The solution's banking model, called FSLDM (Financial Services Logical Data Model), is sophisticated and good."
"IntelliFlex is easy to scale - one of its best features is that you can upscale it to the size you want."
"The product's scalability is great. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Intelliflex is very scalable. In fact, scalability has improved 100 times by Intelliflex, in my personal opinion."
"There are some challenges with loading unstructured data and integrating some message queues or brokers. In one project, we had a problem connecting to one of the message queues and we had to take a different route altogether on Microsoft Azure."
"We are yet to figure out how to integrate tools, such as Liquibase, to release changes to our data warehouse model."
"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."
"Room for improvement would be writebacks. It doesn't support extensively writing back to the database, and it doesn't support web applications effectively. Ultimately, it's a database call, so if we are building web applications using Snowflake, it isn't that effective because there is some turnaround time from the database."
"I have heard people having difficulty with the machine learning model, so there may be room for improvement."
"This solution could be improved by offering machine learning apps."
"I see room for improvement when it comes to credit performance. The other thing I'd like to be improved is the warehouse facility."
"The pricing of the solution should be much easier to calculate or find by yourself."
"The reporting side wasn't very good in the past, but with the latest versions, it's getting better. Still, the friendliness of the PDC reporting and functionality needs to be improved."
"They should add more connectors to different platforms."
"The initial setup is complex because there are a lot of factors that come into play, including the amount of software and applications that require access."
"The only issue our company has with Teradata IntelliFlex is that it is not cost-effective because of the way the product has been designed."
"The solution’s pricing, scalability, and technical support response time could be improved."
