According to the Gigaom research, Azure SQL Data Warehouse ran 30 TB workloads at least 67 percent faster than Amazon Redshift.
Beyond runtime performance, Gigaom also measured the price-performance ratio to quantify the USD cost of specific workloads. SQL Data Warehouse was at least 23 percent less expensive then Redshift for 30TB workloads. With SQL Data Warehouse’s ability to scale compute elastically as well as pause and resume workloads, customers pay only when the service is in use, further decreasing their costs.
