  • Reviewers mention that ClickHouse shines in performance analysis, achieving a perfect score of 10.0, which is attributed to its ability to handle large volumes of data efficiently. On the other hand, Apache Drill's performance is rated lower, with users noting occasional latency issues during complex queries.
