[Star Wars] Why did Darth Maul survive being cut in half by a lightsaber but Snoke did not.

Snoke seems like a much more powerful Sth than Maul.

Edit: Thanks for all the answers guys, my knowledge of the extended universe is obviously lacking, it's just something that kind of bothered me.

Snoke isn't a Sith. He's part of a completely different tradition, and even mocks them for being petty fools.

That being said? Maul was young, and Snoke was old and feeble. The area in which they were both bisected is also different - Maul got a swift cut right at the hips, Snoke got cut higher up, where more vital organs are.
