What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fast reporting for the company. This environment is way better than what we have had before
Easy maintenance, high performing, needs procedural support

when I search on google, not much information I can get from snowflake questions

Fast, Affordable, Scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Beats Redshift in performance and cost. The in-time snapshot to roll back data to a previous state is also pretty incredible. The data storage costs is very low in comparison to Redshift and the computational speed far exceeds what Redshift can handle. DUO push as a two step authentication is a bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extra fees for security and vpc. Not really a big fan of paying roughly 30-50% more for AWS VPC routing.
Also there might be a need for more support hours since databases can be used 24/7 downtime can occur anytime. During a regional, but not national Holiday, most of the company was out and there wasn't any method to contact support team besides leaving a phone number and waiting it out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Analysis, Big Data. Parallel queries.
Reaped benefits in roughly 1/3 the cost of Redshift and in significantly improved query times.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better support hours. During one of the regional but not national US holidays it was hard to reach anyone for support. Wondering if there are better support pricing plans.
Also would be nice to not have to pay significantly more for AWS security integration features. All in all, it still beats out Redshift by miles.

Near Zero Maintenance
What do you like best about the product?
We have taken over all of the DBA management for our warehouse(s) without additional resources. This is because we don't have very many maintenance or configuration tasks (or issues).
What do you dislike about the product?
Have a more robust stored procedure features will be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing maintenance of our data warehouses (building indexes, restarting servers, etc)
Meeting SLAs by moving from nightly batch processing to near-real-time micro-batching (15-30 mins).
Product stability and improved performance
Reducing cost

Reducing cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Snowflake out performs others by separating compute and storage. Per second billing in conjunction with pausing and auto resume can really save cost. We have very little maintenance and configuration work. My team has taken over all of the DBA tasks since there are so few and it's very low complexity.
Amazing Solution!
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake's flexibility in the data warehouse space is amazing. The scalability and price can't be beat! Plus, I have an amazing Account Exec, Chris Li, that is always passionate about providing the best value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see smart text when drafting SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the process of developing an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). We've made a lot of progress and our internal customers can run queries that are extremely fast making it easier for them to make key decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! You'll be amazed at the query performance and low cost
Turnkey simplicity
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake just works! No crazy complexity required to fine tune the system, no complex spreading of data across nodes, partitioning, indexing, configuation etc. Need a separate 'box' for heavy duty BI queries? Spin one up instantly! Need a bigger resource for a big ETL job, again spin one up instantaneously and shut it down when it's done - per second billing means you don't pay for resources you don't need. You can really tell a lot of thought has gone into a complete redesign - it hasn't been 'stretched' for the cloud, but 'built' for the cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really! The organisation is growing rapidly, so they don't necessarily have the customer suppot teams outside of Europe. Some functions are WIP e.g. additional windowing functions, recursion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is acting as a data lake/warehouse for my organisation, which alleviates the need to have eg Hadoop for storage and an RDBMS for presentation. One platform makes it so much simpler.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
use the free trial credits to try for yourself
Great value for money, actionable data platform that will accelerate any data strategy
What do you like best about the product?
We got to modernise our ailing, ageing data infrastructure without it costing the earth. Our data staff, all conversant in SQL were able to transfer their skills overnight, and our analytics staff all got access to cloud scalability to support their heavy analytical workloads (no Hadoop in sight). VERY, VERY cost effective way to modernise!
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - it's brilliant! Would really love there to be a built-in environment for scheduling SQL scripts, but there are plenty of ETL tools for this already.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it. Honestly, if you are looking for a sophisticated data platform that supports heavy analytical workloads, whilst keeping it simple then you will not find a better solution.
Data Expert
What do you like best about the product?
JSON parsing feature of Snowflake is the best compare to Redshift. I am currently using snowflake as our main data warehouse where multiple application has JSON data and snowflake does it really well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support response is slow in case of emergency need. I had need last year and response was very slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Firstly, I use Snowflake to build data pipelines using multiple applications and store it in snowflake.
and Our business team uses this data for analysis.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
There is no need to think about which cloud data warehouse to go with, Snowflake is the best and highly recommended cloud data warehouse.
