Snowflake will capture a big Data Market soon

  • July 15, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is a growing Data Warehouse Storage and Analytics Technology which will capture a big Data Analytics market soon. Snowflake is a cloud-based technology that has reduced a significant burden from the customer in terms of hardware maintenance, replacing failed components, patch upgrade, 24*7 DBA support, etc.

The best about Snowflake is its unique architecture. I worked on many DW Tools and found it better, among others with below reasons -
1. No hardware maintenance (it reduces Datacenter maintenance cost)
2. Architecture is simple and easy to understand
3. Cost is directly dependent on the system usage, less load - Payless and vice-versa.

Most of the DBA work automated with its architecture -
1. Statistics collection
2. Query Optimization
3. Taking backup and maintenance
4. Warehouse auto-suspend and auto-resume.

Cool features added in Snowflake -
1. Data Sharing
2. Data Marketplace
3. Data Masking
4. Zero-Copy Cloning
5. Time Travel
6. Fail-Safe
7. Structured and Unstructured data Storage and reading capabilities
8. And many more features

I would surely recommend the companies that if you are planning to switch from the current DW env to another platform, do your POC on Snowflake once to know its benefits.
Snowflake provides good customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, Snowflake has provided alerts set up only for resource monitoring if they can add the capabilities to generate custom alerts like sending notification on database size threshold increased, etc., through monitoring tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Few Snowflake features have saved DBA time in terms of taking data backup, creating dev, test environment using its zero-copy cloning features

Using actively Snowflake as base cloud warehouse solution.

  • April 22, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really like it's performance and speed. Also the UI is very intuitive. Another strong point is that you don't have to spend time and money on its administration. The storage is not a problem anymore and with snowflake you can load data instantly once it landed in your bucket.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that it do not support multiple cluster keys on hte same table (can not support multiple indexes on the same table).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're using Snowflake to fix the storage issues; to improve our performance when processing big amount of data; to load data almost instantly from our stage.

Snowflake - A user-friendly DB.

  • April 10, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake documentation is straightforward. API is easily accessible with python. The GUI can handle a whole lot of data in multiple sessions.Snowflake can support unlimited concurrency with its unique multi-cluster, shared data architecture. This allows multiple compute clusters to operate simultaneously on the same data without degrading performance. Snowflake can even scale automatically to handle varying concurrency demands with its multi-cluster virtual warehouse feature, transparently adding compute resources during peak load periods and scaling down when loads subside.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing much to dislike about it. There some limitations with concurrent runs, but those are addressed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helped to solve big data processing issues and easy access with python.
