Monitor warehouse usage closely
Snowflake is a cloud-based data warehousing platform that offers several key features: 1. **Scalability**: Snowflake can scale up or down based on the workload, allowing for efficient resource management. 2. **Concurrency**: It supports multiple users and workloads simultaneously without performance degradation. 3. **Data Sharing**: Snowflake allows for secure and easy data sharing across different organizations and platforms. 4. **Separation of Storage and Compute**: This feature allows users to scale storage and compute resources independently, optimizing costs and performance. 5. **Support for Structured and Semi-Structured Data**: Snowflake can handle both structured data (like SQL tables) and semi-structured data (like JSON, Avro, and Parquet). 6. **Security**: It provides robust security features, including encryption, role-based access control, and network isolation. 7. **Ease of Use**: Snowflake offers a user-friendly interface and SQL support, making it accessible for users with different levels of technical expertise. 8. **Data Cloning**: It allows for zero-copy cloning, enabling users to create instant copies of databases without additional storage costs. 9. **Time Travel**: This feature allows users to access historical data and restore data to a previous state. 10. **Automatic Optimization**: Snowflake automatically optimizes storage and query performance without requiring manual tuning.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, can't think of one, but for my specific role, I would say it's hard to know who to talk to in the company due to the growth (a good problem to have, I suppose). It constantly changes making partner relationships difficult with Snowflake Sales Directors.

Currently the big thing we are seeing is with MPP migrations coming up on end-of-life. Snowflake is the clear choice to maximize data warehousing and cloud benefits.
Just like any other database

Connectivity with other computing platforms like Spark or it's Python3 connector which i found major issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created a warehouse of petabytes in snowflake, where we use it right for the complete data pipeline an ETL. We also built some interesting analytics app on top of it using it's Python connector and now having issues with it's Python3 connector.
