We performed a comparison between Aster Data Map Reduce 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."It's stable and reliable."
"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products."
"The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources."
"The solution is easy to use."
"All the people who are working with Snowflake are extremely happy with it because it is designed from a data-warehousing point of view, not the other way around. You have a database and then you tweak it and then it becomes a data warehouse."
"We find the data sharing and data marketplace aspects of Snowflake absolutely amazing."
"The overall ecosystem was easy to manage. Given that we weren't a very highly technical group, it was preferable to other things we looked at because it could do all of the cloud tunings. It can tune your data warehouse to an appropriate size for controlled billing, resume and sleep functions, and all such things. It was much more simple than doing native Azure or AWS development. It was stable, and their support was also perfect. It was also very easy to deploy. It was one of those rare times where they did exactly what they said they could do."
"The way it is built and designed is valuable. The way the shared model is built and the way it exploits the power of the cloud is very good. Certain features related to administration and management, akin to Oracle Flashback and all that, are very important for modern-day administration and management. It is also good in terms of managing and improving performance, indexing, and partitioning. It is sort of completely automated. Everything is essentially under the hood, and the engine takes care of it all. As a data warehouse on the cloud, Snowflake stands strong on its ground even though each of the cloud providers has its own data warehouse, such as Redshift for AWS or Synapse for Azure."
"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."
"Scaling is a big plus point of Snowflake."
"Working with Parquet files is support out of the box and it makes large dataset processing much easier."
"It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved."
"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved."
"From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."
"This solution could be improved by offering machine learning apps."
"The user interface continues to be an issue, especially when we need to get data out of Snowflake. It's very easy to get data in, but it's not too easy to get it out or extract it."
"More data governance and access control features would be a welcome addition."
"There is a need for improvements in the documentation, this would allow more people to switch over to this solution."
"Snowflake has support for stored procedures, but it is not that powerful."
"They don't have any SLAs in place. It would be better if they did."
"The solution could improve the user interface and add functionality to the system."
"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."
