The future of the Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
I want to start talking about the flexibility of the databases in the cloud. I came from a traditional databases which are installed in a server within the organization and actually the new approach to have a database in the cloud it worth every dollar that could cost. We just started a new project this year which consist in migrating a lot of data from our on premises data warehouse to the snowflake data warehouse. Being able to use almost all the SQL that we had in our database was a really good advantage since we migrated a lot of functions and views too. Now we are integrating snowflake and oracle through an export in CSV files. We push the data to an external s3 bucket then we take it from snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
The database itself is pretty past to operate and you will use almost all the same functions and syntax that we now in SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Being able to migrate millions of data to the cloud is not an easy task to do. We came up with multiple ideas and ETL tools for this task but actually we designed our own ETL based in some snowflake functionalities. We are able to replicate the data in near real time to the source system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Snowflake uses standard SQL which means that you can actually use the same syntax that you are using in your current database. I would recommend you to keep posted in the new releases from snowflake team. Every month there are new features coming that can help in all your projects.

Outstanding Performance in a Truly Cloud Based Ecosystem
What do you like best about the product?
Quick performance in a data driven world. We needed something that would scale, and snowflake delivered on all of their promises and then some. We were stuck on a more traditional database before and ran into issues of scaling and query performance despite it also being cloud based. Snowflake was able to help us in our realization of putting our customers first and getting insights into data far more quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features that have been standard on traditional RDBMS systems haven't been implemented yet, but they are coming. Documentation on a number of features seems to be lacking or non-existent. Some of the community forums are hard to search for and find answers, especially with updated content and as new features are rolled out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance and reliability. Continuous delivery and ability to scale for access by many different users at a time.

What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't much that I dislike about snowflake. There is a bit of a learning curve.

Snowflake Review 2019
What do you like best about the product?
I most appreciate the cloud accessibility and ability to access different data sources
What do you dislike about the product?
I most dislike the web browser UI. It feels underdeveloped from a user stand point - I was very excited to see the preview of the new version coming soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Different data sources. The largest benefit is the elasticity in resources that are instantly resizeable.
Easy to learn, powerful when needed
What do you like best about the product?
able to scale up and down based on load. Can handle json data easily (using variant data type).
What do you dislike about the product?
user interface is sometimes buggy (pop ups from left hand panel get "stuck")
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
creating a clean intuitive warehouse for analysts. roles functionality has allowed for "clean-up" of user interface.
Data Warehouse at its best
What do you like best about the product?
The best feature that I like about Snowflake as a database or data warehouse is the ability to Clone the data at no extra cost, and create Dev, test and Prod environments. the ability to go back in time are few of the best features. Being a develop I'm always fearful of accidentally dropping tables and not actually having backup scares me. but Snowflake eliminates that with features like time travel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Auto correct or auto complete are few of the features that I would be interested in. But with Snowflake acquiring Numeracy, I'm hopeful to have a lot more query edit features.added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are Snowflake partners that are trying to help clients to move from their legacy systems to Snowflake.
Data on Demand
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake allows many companies expand their data profile into the cloud easily and with a large performance improvement over traditional data warehouses.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only real thing that annoys me is that F5 refreshes the screen instead of running the query. Simple things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are helping our clients move off of old architecture and help them improve response times and cut down on costs.
