What do you like best about the product?

Snowflake really stands out when it comes to query speeds. It’s evident they built the platform prioritizing efficiency, and that's reflected in how fast and accurately we can pull data. But what I truly appreciate is their approach to data access through role functionalities. It gives us a hands-on ability to dictate data accessibility, striking a perfect balance between security and user access.

What do you dislike about the product?

Snowflake has a lot going for it, but there are areas I wish were better. The way they charge based on compute time can get expensive, especially if we're running queries non-stop. Even though it's packed with features, it can feel a bit much for those new to it. And, honestly, I wish they had their own visualization tools, so we wouldn't have to lean on other software for that.

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

Snowflake's been a game-changer for our data setup. Remember those annoying isolated data chunks we used to grapple with? Snowflake tossed those out the window, putting everything in one place. It's made getting to our data a breeze and kicked its quality up a notch too. Our team now dives straight into pulling insights rather than getting stuck joining dots. Plus, managing who sees what? A walk in the park. For me, Snowflake's taken a load of data headaches off the table, making things run smoother and helping us make better calls.

No governance trade-offs

What do you like best about the product?

I personally love having a contact a Snowflake that reaches out to me proactively and informs me of upcoming changes, configurations needed, etc.
It seems like a very soft-core DWH tech which mostly aims to lower the barrier (and cost) for entry rather than offer the best DWH. I can see Redshift, Postgres, SQL Server etc. all be better if you have the necessary skills to manage it and money is not a big deal.

What do you dislike about the product?

There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to understanding roles and access permissions, but Snowflake has a lot of documentation out there for it (which I find easier to understand than other DB's documentation).

3. Too costly and therefore not suitable for low-scale business.

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

The biggest problem that Snowflake is solving is making queries run super fast no matter what size of the table queried upon, thanks to its micro partitions. The ability to do time travel and restore lost data is a boon for real.
