Learn More About Data Warehouse Software

What is Data Warehouse Software?

Data warehouse software gives users a processing pipeline for large volumes of data from one or more sources. Data warehouse software assists with the extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) processes of warehousing data. Data warehouse software automates these tasks and autonomously standardizes data for proper storage. Data warehouse software also lets users observe, evaluate, and analyze data in real time.

Data warehouse software allows users to dynamically store, access, and search data across multiple sources from one platform. This allows analysts and data science teams to work more efficiently because it lets them handle and report on information from multiple programs, software, AI, or other assets. Data warehouse software also makes the management of historical data easy, as it allows archival data to be standardized, modernized, and searchable from multiple access points.

Data warehouse software can be thought of as a broadly applicable type of Data Integration Tool. Because Data Integration Tools appear to require more nuanced direction on the part of the user, they are typically used for internal data standardization, e.g. enterprises with proprietary assets. Data warehouse software, on the other hand, can readily interface with a wide variety of sources on behalf of the user, making them useful for organizations that work with multiple third-party platforms.

Data Warehouse Software Features

The most common data warehouse software features are:

  • Data extraction, transformation, and load (ETL) assistance
  • Structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data ingestion
  • Automated data blending and type conversion
  • Automated linear and horizontal scalability
  • Automated data backup and timestamping
  • Automated data syncing
  • API libraries and integration
  • Schema management
  • Data lineage management
  • Live monitoring and data performance visualization
  • Workload classification
  • SQL and NoSQLquerying support
  • Reporting and analysis features
  • Data encryption
  • Customizable UIs
  • Customizable fault tolerance
  • Knowledge databases

Data Warehouse Software Comparison

When choosing the best data warehouse software for you, consider the following:

On-premise vs. cloud storage. Choosing a data warehouse software for should start with whether you want to employ a cloud-based or on-premises solution. Cloud-based solutions are low-cost, highly scalable, and do not require hardware or servers to operate, while on-premises solutions grant greater degrees of data control and security at the expense of high maintenance costs. Some vendors offer a hybrid deployment option for users who prefer to have both options available to them.

Data sources. Choosing the best data warehouse software product may depend on the types of data sources you use. The individual compatibility of streaming applications, the Internet of Things, databases, CRMs, accounting software, and other sources needs to be considered, as does the data warehouse software’s ability to combine, extract, and access data from multiple sources at once. Snowflake has a wide array of native connectors for Python and Spark, making it a suitable warehouse for app developers. If you anticipate a large number of data sources reaching into the hundreds, Amazon Redshift has support for virtually unlimited number of data queries without compromising data transmission speed.

Software deployment time. Depending on the product you choose and its associated features, fully integrating data warehouse software can be a lengthy process. The average time of implementation is about 20 weeks, with probably 9 weeks at the earliest completion rate. This is because the warehouse needs to be carefully integrated so that data integrity is not compromised. Each vendor’s implementation process varies, so they should be contacted directly about this process.

Regulation compliance. You’ll want to ensure that the data warehousesSoftware you choose allows you to comply with industry-specific or governmental regulations. Tools such as user authentication, data access controls, end-to-end data encryption, and dynamic data masking are among the many tools that you can use to this end, but be sure to consult with the vendors about your specific compliance concerns.

Pricing Information

Data warehouse software pricing can depend on a variety of factors, such as ongoing data computing, data storage volume, and query loads. Some vendors offer free plans with limited storage features. Pricing plans dynamically adjust to the needs of a business, so vendors should be contacted directly to craft a personalized plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are all data warehouses compatible with all data sources?

Most data warehouses include tools for integrating with different business sources, but they may not be able to integrate with all sources of data. Additionally, many data warehouses are built using specific database engines, making them easier to pull in data from some applications compared to others.

What are the best data warehouse options?

The top rated data warehouse options include:

  1. Snowflake
  2. Oracle Exadata
  3. Amazon Redshift


Are there any free or open source data warehouse options?

There are a few open source data warehouse tools, but many of them require cloud hosting, or include limited features. Most offer either powerful ETL features, or advanced analytics, but few include both.

Do data warehouses ensure regulatory compliance?

Some data warehouses provide higher standards for encryption security than others. Data warehouses designed for the medical field, for example, ensure that stored data is HIPAA compliant. Businesses can find information about what compliance standards are supported on vendor websites.
