| Performance | ||
Analytical Performance | 100x faster analytics with no query or application changes | Data typically needs to be moved to another database for analytics, which can be costly and time-consuming. It also requires writing queries in a different language. |
| Scalability | ||
Architecture | Scale-out architecture efficiently and quickly responds to growing workloads leveraging commodity hardware — without add-ons or specialized tuning expertise. | Offers secondary indexes; however,the indexes don't scale with sharding and the system is suboptimal at loading large amounts of random data, as the underlying file format is not truly efficient. |
| Cost-Effectiveness | ||
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) | Transparent pricing model with a simple, single-product subscription for all of your workloads which is easy to manage and patch, and delivers maximum performance on a familiar SQL data model at a reasonable cost | Additional costs for OLAP database and ETL tooling required to prepare and move data for analytics and machine learning use cases. |
