Great Software
What do you like best about the product?
I like the vast amount of connectors and also their support is very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found anything I dislike at this moment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to now load data from a variety of sources into one repository that drives all of our BI and reporting needs.
Great cloud data warehouse solution
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and it is very flexible with data. You can store anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes refresh failes, although there are ways to control it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data processing and data storage, we were using excel spreadsheets for everything, and snowflake changed our luves, now we can even process big amounts of data in seconds.
Unlike any other database
What do you like best about the product?
The features which are utterly unique, like time travel, zero copy cloning and separate costs for storage and compute. Snowflake is especially controllable - I can create data warehouses for specific purposes and groups of users or processes, and determine when they're available - all on the basis that the cost relates to the value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is still new. There are some features which would be useful around metadata management for data analysts, and other functions which other databases have. But I'm sure these are on the roadmap and will come in time - probably sooner than I expect!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To become more customer centric, to improve the efficiency of business operations, and to make it easier to comply with regulations. All of these can be achieved more effectively, faster and at a cost that more directly reflects the benefits achieved, than with other databases I've come to know.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You must take a look at Snowflake. It represents a massive and significant step-change in what's otherwise been a very staid area of computing.
great product
What do you like best about the product?
The performance is incredible. Queries that took hours to run on MySQL run in seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
The online interface is clunky. Having a desktop app would be ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're moving over long running batch processes that used to run on MySQL. The run-time has been improved from hours to minutes.
Blazing fast and cheaper DataWarehouse and iOT platform
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has ease of implementation, with no maintenance and has massive scalability. The storage cost is minimal. Horizontal and vertical scalability without any downtime. Elasticity of usage. The only database on the market that is truely built for cloud. Native support of Semi structured data
What do you dislike about the product?
MFA needs to be supported through any tool.Operational dashboard is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise Data Warehouse and Device data at scale. Minimal management roles like DBA and sysadmin. Focus on business enablement and real time data access. Advanced analytics enablement.
A data warehouse platform for the SaaS generation
What do you like best about the product?
Low maintenance. No more downtimes! No rebalances. Full control over compute resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest gripe is privileges are not rules based. You have to re-grant permissions on objects you recreate. Not a big deal once you're steady state, but annoying in a collaboration development phase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise data warehouse. Single source of truth without limitations on data structure or size. Devs are amazed we can consume their JSON straight from S3 and turn it into reports so quickly.
The way data warehouse is done now.
What do you like best about the product?
It is built for the cloud and is flexible in increasing and decreasing the size.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything at this time..
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data warehouse for Looker front end
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Talk to them to get a good estimate of how much it would cost, it may surprise you that it is the most cost effective option.
Snowflake - The best Hidden Software
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is extremely agile in pulling down data from large data sets. The UI is simply and well designed. Quick queries allow beginners to try writing SQL and make quick adjustments until the correct result is achieved.
What do you dislike about the product?
The proprietary technology can turn some away with its secrets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Diving into large data sets and pulling out snippets of data that allow me solve data questions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make the switch
Optimally Structured SaaS Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
The best parts about Snowflake are the ease of implementation, the no maintenance scalability and integration partner availability. From a storage perspective, it is extremely efficient. You can create a complete clone of a 5TB database (like a pointer) without using additional storage, only using enough storage to track changes. You can choose whether to persist the changes or create a real physical clone. This allows you to have staging copies to real-world test updates on live data before you commit them. Additionally...un-dropping dropped tables and point in time historical queries are nice too. Built in 2 factor auth is scalable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are small admin usability features with the UI that could be improved, but it seems like with the latest release, they have addressed some of them. Easier 2 factor enrollment would be a nice to have. Honestly, you should not be able to enroll a user without 2 factor authentication enabled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise Data Warehouse at scale. Low people investment to get an enterprise solution in place. We can focus on the data vs the underlying technology struggles. There are integration partners like five tran and Matillion that work very well for ELT in order to get data into the Data Warehouse.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't waste your time setting up crazy configurations in the AZ arena. Just get this and start building. There is just not enough time to recreate the underlying plumbing every time you build a solution. This platform scales and is robust.
Data Management Solution for the future
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that compute is actually separated from the storage. This makes scaling so much easier but it also makes it much more cost effective. Now that they got the pricing model down to one minute increments this platform is extremely accessible no matter what size the organization and\or data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loading data into the environment can be clumsy. But once you get the hang of it, it is fairly straightforward to automate with standard ETL tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are addressing our needs for business intelligence reporting. Time to insight has decreased significantly and we are able to ask much better questions of our data at a deeper level of granularity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure when comparing to competitors that you scrutinize the concept of storage being completely separate from compute. Also understand that there will be a need to adjust the way that you load data into the environment. While it is a standard database for querying it is not very performant on update and inserts.
