Cons
"AWS Lake Formation's pricing could be cheaper.""In our experience what could be improved are not the support, performance or monitoring, but at a managerial level, the very expensive professional services of AWS. This could be an area of improvement for them. It's too expensive to acquire their support.""For the end-users, it's not as user-friendly as it could be.""It falls short when it comes to more granular access control, such as cell-level or row-level entitlements which is a significant drawback for organizations that require precise control over who can access specific rows of data.""The solution could make improvements around orchestration and doing some automation stuff on AWS front automation. It would be useful if we could use automation to build images and use hardened images which are CIS compliant."

"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets.""It could be a bit more user-friendly.""The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement."
