Snowflake AI Data Cloud

What do you like best about the product?

The fact that we don't have to learn separate query language for Snowflake. If you know SQL you are good to go. The AI agent that simplifies data literacy, especially useful for familiarizing with new data warehouses. The flexibility to switch between data warehouses.

What do you dislike about the product?

Have to download the results in excel file to copy the column names. Especially for query results that have more than 100k rows.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The cloud database saves so much physical space for databases. Snowflake is certainly recommended for storage optimization. The new AI features shows that Snowflake is adapting to the new industry trends. However, that is one space that we are still exploring.

What do you like best about the product?

I like that storing and querying large datasets feels simple here. The performance is strong even when we scale up and it removes the heavy work of managing servers. The integration with BI tools is smooth which helps in analysis without wasting time.

What do you dislike about the product?

Pricing can be unpredictable at times since usage affects cost quickly. The UI could be more intuitive for new users and some query monitoring features feel limited.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it mainly for centralizing data from different platforms. It has reduced delays in reporting and made it easier to collaborate across teams. Queries that took long on older systems now run faster which directly helps in making timely decisions.

What do you like best about the product?

Very fast querying with huge datasets. Storage and Compute also independent.

What do you dislike about the product?

Its Dependent on cloud availability like if any cloud servers are down then snowflake also affected.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I don't need hardware for storing data. Also it is easy to use.

What do you like best about the product?

What I like most about Snowflake is how easily it handles large volumes of data with great performance. The ability to separate storage and compute is a huge advantage, as it allows us to scale resources up or down based on demand. It integrates smoothly with BI tools and supports secure data sharing, which makes collaboration across teams much easier. Overall, it’s a very reliable and flexible data platform.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main drawback is that costs can increase quickly if workloads are not monitored closely. The pricing model requires careful management to avoid surprises. Additionally, for new users, some of the advanced features require a learning curve. However, once you get familiar with the platform, it works very effectively.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

As fraud analysts, we need to process very large datasets multiple times a day to detect anomalies and identify suspicious activity. Snowflake makes this possible by providing fast, reliable, and scalable data processing without slowing down. The ability to run complex queries on massive amounts of data in near real-time has improved the speed and accuracy of our investigations. It allows us to focus on insights rather than infrastructure, which is a big advantage in fraud detection.

What do you like best about the product?

I like Snowflake for its ease of use—the interface is intuitive, and writing queries is straightforward. Ease of implementation is great too, as connecting to BI tools and setting up warehouses is quick. The platform offers a large number of features, including time travel, cloning, and data sharing. Ease of integration with ETL tools and other cloud services makes workflows seamless. It’s very reliable, and customer support has been responsive when needed. Because of its speed and scalability, I use it frequently for daily analytics tasks.

What do you dislike about the product?

The main challenge is cost management, as frequent queries or large warehouses can get expensive if not optimized. Some advanced features take time to learn, and initial setup for certain integrations can be tricky. While customer support is helpful, detailed guidance for complex scenarios could be improved. Overall, it works well, but careful monitoring is needed to avoid overspending

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Snowflake centralizes large datasets from multiple sources, eliminating data silos and making querying fast and efficient. It solves issues with scalability, storage, and performance, allowing me to run analytics and reporting without worrying about infrastructure. This benefits me by saving time, improving accuracy, and enabling quick, data-driven decisions
