User-friendly approach to data

What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate the visual interface combined with the ability to use SQL. Easy way to create a data warehouse.

It would be good to build out the visual interface a bit more.

My organization has experienced significant data silos and snowflake is allowing us to improve the situation. This allows for easier/faster data analysis.


    Education Management

Excellent DW Platform

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, elasticity, control, security, no maintenance, no downtime!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing! We have to pay for every second we use. I would say one of the things I dislike the most is that we even have to pay for querying the Snowflake usage database. We shouldn't be billed for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing away with our Oracle Data Warehouse and with our Big Data Platform. With that, a ton of time spent on maintenance is now going to be spent on development of our enterprise data model.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you estimate your data usage properly so you can better estimate the price of using Snowflake

Snowflake is all about speed and flexibility. It's easy to expand when necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of the database features exist yet. Simple things like constraints and stored procedures would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting away from the complexity and expense of Oracle.

Fast and easy to use

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Performance is a beast. Coming from an enterprise DWH's experience; Snowflake performance is day & night for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
administrative features are not readily available. On site support was iffy at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our traditional DWH was a hog riddled with lot of performance issues. Snowflake addressed those issues perfectly. Also, its integration with other cloud products (Infa, Oracle OAC) was seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product!

What do you like best about the product?
The performance gain experienced by our team was phenomenal for our deliverables. Very much looking forward to the plethora of tools we can use on side with Snowflake
What do you dislike about the product?
not much! But if theres one thing, it would be being able to run loops in your query!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance! I'm sure theres other engineering tasks that I'm not including.

High performance cloud-based data warehouse

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Super fast query without much efforts to optimizing the database
What do you dislike about the product?
Injecting and pulling data could be easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to move our on-prem data warehouse to Snowflake. Test data in Snowflake is queried much faster than in tradtional on-prem databases. Easier access to database by cloud-based dashboards and such.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
high-perforrmance and easy integration. Data injection and pulling can be challenging at first. Overall, an excellent product.
