High performance cloud-based data warehouse
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.

Data Warehouse Modernization
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to take several approaches in our data warehouse modernization journey - ease of lift and shift vs total refactoring. We can enable our customers at the speed of our data without the worry of replatforming to newer on prem infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a stronger set of capabilities to enable migration of large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of scale to respond to heavy on demand workloads.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a journey, but well worth the patience to modernize.
A great, scaleable database
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization does not have a constant load on the database. With most solutions, this means that we normally need under powered hardware to save money, or over-sized servers to meet our peak load times. Snowflake's auto scaling and multi-cluster support have been extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The federated login and duo support is buggy at best. We've enforced duo login for our ACCOUNTADMIN roles, but that makes dealing with most IDEs and Tableau a nightmare since they don't support the option to use private keys.
Additionally, the role based security is very hard to manage. We have 80 permission levels spread across 7 data domains. Since a user isn't able to utilize more than one role at a time, we have to then create user specific roles that inherit just their permissions. I would much rather simply assign roles to users and skip the role setting during login.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest problems have been lack of horsepower on our servers. Snowflake has allowed us to scale our infrastructure in a much more cost effective way.
What a Database Should Be.
What do you like best about the product?
The separation of storage and compute can not be understated. It is exceptionally easy to get started and the browser based UI make development easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have yet to find a hard dislike. The IDE in browser could provide better autocomplete features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from AWS Glue and Redshift, to snowflake we save a significant amount of $.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Within one day we were able to fully build our proof of concept with snowflakes trial account. Utilize the time to populate with your own data, and explore "Snowpipe".
Enablement through data and quantifiable ROI
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use platform that allows for separation of compute and storage enables the most effective database solution in it's technology generation. Additionally, the ability to scale up, scale down, and be able to manage without a team of DBA's allows for the highest value possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not applicable, it's been a great platform that enables the organiation.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Billions of data stored without the heavy cost of netezza, teradata or orcale.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Get it, it's the easiest decision you'll ever make in terms of business ROI and technical capabilities.
The next "IT" thing
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to stand up an environment without a huge upfront investment.
What do you dislike about the product?
The ability to not seamlessly support SQL stored procedures. Python wrappers and/or C#/Java Script code seems inefficient
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analytics delivered with lightning fast speed.
Snowflake - nothing like it!!
What do you like best about the product?
Clear split between CPU and Storage. Pay as you go option works best. Best part is the no admin overhead like column compression, Primary keys etc. Cloning and Data sharing features are stand out and makes them stand out from other options.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is a blackbox and sometimes its hard to figure out why some queries take lot of time. Is it because they are supposed to or if something is wrong. Please work on that
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data sharing, Custom warehouses that help segregate heavy and minimal users. Development time is reduced
Snwowflake Power
What do you like best about the product?
Ease to market, ease of used - Love the integration tool including zeio copy clone - and Data sharing for external vendors
What do you dislike about the product?
GUI interface needs improve ent - Sales overload
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast, Secure data storage
revolutionary in data warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
compute and storage are separate, connectors are available for different tools like spark, Rstudio, python and storge format
What do you dislike about the product?
dont have option to convert xml and json files to tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
data engineering is the key focus. integrating data with diffrent sources.
Easy to start figuring out how to finish
What do you like best about the product?
Starting support is great and helpful....but the next steps need a little bit of learning on my part as well as support from snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular, just during learning of snowflake if the sales guys disappear documentation is not updated. If you get stuck, the documentation only gets cleared with snowmen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data lake for storing trillions of events .....
