| Despite similar on-demand pricing, Snowflake and Redshift package their features differently. In Snowflake's pricing structure, compute usage is separate from storage usage |
In Redshift, both computer usage and storage usage are combined. |
| Snowflake is more robust than Redshift when it comes to JSON storage. In essence, Snowflake makes it possible to store and query JSON with built-in, native functions. |
On the other hand, when JSON is loaded into Redshift, it is split into strings, making it more difficult to query and work with. |
| Snowflake offers security and compliance features specifically tailored to its editions so that your data is protected to the maximum level as per your data strategy. |
The Redshift platform offers a wide range of encryption solutions |
| Data vacuuming and compression can be automated on Snowflake. It offers the best advantage as it automates much of the process, saving time and effort. |
Data vacuuming and compression cannot be automated on Redshift, so the system requires more hands-on maintenance. |
