A good data warehousing tool for data engineer and data analyst
What do you like best about the product?
One of the thing which I like about Snowflake is that we can create folders and store multiple worksheets within that folder. We can also share the access of these folder to other snowflake users. As a Data Analyst I use snowflake on a daily basis as our Data Warehouse is on snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing which I dislike about Snowflake is that it only shows 10K rows when we query any data. Also we can only create a single chart from the results of our query, if we want to create multiple charts using the same results set then it is not possible. We cannot use filters in the charts which is a huge problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is solving the problem of storing the Big Data. We can create Data Warehouse in it that can have multiple databases as per our requirement. It can easily be integrated with DBT(Data Build Tool). As a data analyst it is helping me to query through the different databases within my organization. With the help of different access permisssion we can query different warehouses as well.
