DWH Modernization

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
workload isolation, ease of use, zero setup
What do you dislike about the product?
no strong dislikes, it is a really strong product
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are a partner, most of our customers are on multiple journeys. One journey to the cloud, another to being a data driven enterprise. Their data ecosystems are becoming more complex. They need a broader diversity of data than they have in traditional ERP systems, and they need agility in onboarding new data sources.

Snowflake data warehouse as whole. The Snowflake dedication to understand and work closely to make sure Snowflake works according to our need.

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The architecture and how it allows our business get value from our data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more consistent performance on live connections with BI tools like Tableau

Incredible performance and easy to roll out

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Incredible query performance, easy to develop for, and even easier to transition to from our existing on-premise solution. The integrated workbooks are amazingly powerful as they currently exist, and we're excited to see the new features coming soon.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the system configuration is behind obscure DML commands, such as SSO settings, so I can't validate them at a glance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau views are running in a fraction of the time as compared to our on-premise EDW. Additionally, our slowly changing dimensions process and load in half the time.

Future of data bases is already here

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
No need to manage, always up, no DB Administrator needed anymore. Snowflake SQL is really easy and fully featured. Cost is fairly easy to project and allocate. Obviously, it scales like a charm. And did I mention that storage is dirt cheap? They basically are just passing S3's cost...
What do you dislike about the product?
On boarding experience takes longer than it should: I had to wait 3 days to get it activated...
Also, you can get a vanity address but it requires to talk to their sales teams and is a more convoluted process than it should really be...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sales & Marketing Analytics Data Lakes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is probably the easiest Data base to try for free, since it does not require management, and you get enough free credits to play with it for a while. If you reach out to their Sales team, you can obtain a vanity address for your instance such as MyCompany.snowflakecomputing.com.

It's really easy to write poor queries and ramp up warehouse cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT's enabled us to scale our platform inline with onboarding new customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Monitor warehouse usage closely
