#1 Snowflake
Snowflake was ranked as PeerSpot’s #1 Data Warehouse Tool of 2021. Our users give Snowflake an average rating of 8 out of 10.
Sreenivasan R., Director -Data Architecture and Engineering at Decision Minds, explains why he gives the solution a 4 out of 5 star rating, stating, "Data sharing is a good feature. It is a majorly used feature. The elastic compute is another big feature. Separating compute and storage gives you flexibility. It doesn't require much DBA involvement because it doesn't need any performance tuning. We are not really doing any performance tuning, and the entire burden of performance tuning and SQL tuning is on Snowflake. Its usability is very good. I don't need to ramp up any user, and its onboarding is easier. You just onboard the user, and you are done with it. There are simple SQL and UI, and people are able to use this solution easily. Ease of use is a big thing in Snowflake."
Another PeerSpot reviewer, a Solution Architect at a wholesaler/distributor says, "The ability to share the data and the ability to scale up and down easily are the most valuable features. The concept of data sharing and data plumbing made it very easy to provide and share data. The ability to refresh your Dev or QA just by doing a clone is also valuable. Development and deployment are much easier as compared to other platforms where you have to go through a lot of stuff.”
Another reviewer, a director of business operations at a logistics company explains, “The query and load speed is phenomenal.”

When you want to tune it, it is very easy to do. I have worked a lot as a DB and I know that when there is a query that is stuck for hours, and you want to tune it, the task is quite easy. You can use the indexes and architecture, and exploit the power of Teradata.”
A Data Architect, Section Head at an energy/utilities company comments, "It has good data warehousing, is scalable, and offers good functionality.”

A Vice President - Finance & IT at a consumer goods company shares, "The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense.

Donghan K., e-Business Department Professor at MANU MEDITEC, states, "We selected Apache Hadoop because it is not dependent on third-party vendors."
In addition, a Founder & CTO at a tech services company expresses what he likes about the product, commenting that it is able to “Process large data sets across clusters of computers.” He also says, "Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
