Snowflake

We use snowflake almost daily on my team. It's definitely my go to warehouse when deciding where to store and analyze data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the UI is difficult for non tech stakeholders to understand.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use snowflake to store data and then compute aggregations and analyses we are interested in.
End to end data warehousing solution to our needs
What do you like best about the product?
Highly scalable compute with multi-faceted warehousing capabilities
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as such, quite a well rounded solution
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Value add solutions so that we can see value of our data
Good for handling large datasets and helpful in areas like data
What is our primary use case?
Our company uses the solution for building a data platform, data warehouse, and data transformation.
The product is somewhat used for data analytics, but it is mostly for data engineering.
What is most valuable?
The tool is good for handling large datasets, and since the tool is fully managed by Snowflake, you can scale up the compute part.
What needs improvement?
I don't think that the AI tools in Snowflake are good. AI tools in Snowflake can be improved. Even if the AI tools in Snowflake are good, I feel that it would be expensive. The cost of the AI part does not justify what you get from the product.
The price of the product can be lowered.
I think Snowflake should integrate with some tools like ChatGPT.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Snowflake for a year.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The product is scalable and can be considered a good fit for small and medium businesses.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't directly contacted the technical support team of the product.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have used Azure Databricks and Azure Data Factory. My company decided to use Snowflake since we wanted to be able to get up and running fast without much configuration-related mess. Snowflake doesn't give you the options with the configuration part since, by default, it is available out of the box. In terms of machine learning, Azure Databricks has the upper hand over other products.
How was the initial setup?
The product's deployment phase was quite okay.
The solution can be deployed in a few days or up to a week.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The product's price range falls between average to a bit expensive range. I think the tool is worth the money if you use it properly. It is difficult for me to speak about the number of users who use the product. My company pays around a couple of thousand dollars a month to 10,000 dollars or more.
What other advice do I have?
I think the main benefit is that with the tool, you can easily get things going without problems since you don't need to configure all the parameters manually. If you buy the tool for a bigger computing purpose, the engineer can pay more attention to the tool, and I guess after that, you can do more with the solution. I would ask others not to think about the data warehouses, as Snowflake takes care of such areas.
The benefits from the use of the product can be realized in around 40 minutes. It is a good technology for getting up and running quickly.
Snowflake is integrated with Azure Data Platform and other ETL tools in our company's ecosystem.
The integration capabilities of the product are good and you get what you pay for when it comes to Snowflake.
I rate the tool a seven to eight out of ten.
Users can pay as they use and not worry about the maintenance of the data warehouse
What is our primary use case?
The solution has use cases related to retail stores and sales.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Snowflake are that you have to pay per usage, and you don't have to worry about the maintenance of the data warehouse because it is on the cloud.
What needs improvement?
The solution’s pricing could be cheaper. It would be helpful if Snowflake could create good reports instead of using Power BI reports.
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Snowflake is a scalable solution. We have four to five customers for Snowflake who use it regularly.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The solution's deployment in a development environment takes only a couple of minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Users have to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
Snowflake is deployed on the cloud. The solution is providing HIPAA compliance, which is sufficient. Users looking for a pay-as-you-use product available on Azure or AWS should consider Snowflake.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
Efficient but Costly
What do you like best about the product?
In time critical applications where speed is the main focus, Snowflake performs well
What do you dislike about the product?
It costs a lot! Our teams main budget goes into paying Snowflake alone
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it as a warehouse to store customers data and integrate with our in-house analytics platform for building reports and charts on top of the data available
One of the Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Two features i like most in snowflake first one is new SQL query feature . it make very easy to implement the logic and second one is the we can connect with more than one cloud provider like Azure, AWS from single snowflake account.
What do you dislike about the product?
One things i noticed during connecting with different cloud provider that creating external stages for cloud platforms should be more user friendly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For my project we need to take data from different cloud platfrom like Azure, AWS. Snowflake solve my problem to transfer data from these platform with external stages features.
