I use the tool with visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI. We load the data into these tools and use them to build customer reports. We often need to write scripts to perform transformations before sending the data to the visualization tools.

Has good documentation and query time is less compared to other tools
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
The tool's performance is good. I think it's the best in the game right now. It usually charges per query. For example, if you run a SQL query on Snowflake with the same number of data records, it would take less than half the time compared to running it on Microsoft. It has good documentation. You can pick up Snowflake if you have previous knowledge of SQL.
What needs improvement?
I can only access Snowflake from the web. It would be better if we could have an app that we can install locally on our laptops to connect to the server without needing to go to the web page. Apart from that, it's hard to point out any limitations in the tool.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with the product for four years.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
The tool is scalable. I've used it for datasets with more than ten million records.
How are customer service and support?
I only put data in and modify data. Most of the time, I don't require technical support. We occasionally had downtimes, and the data engineer would escalate these issues to Snowflake to resolve them.
How was the initial setup?
The solution's deployment is simple. You purchase the license on the Internet—I think there's only a free trial for thirty days—and set it up like a Gmail account. It takes less than a minute to set up. You can set up your Snowflake server or use an enterprise vendor like AWS or Azure. Recently, Snowflake has been moving away from third-party vendors. They want to set up their remote infrastructure.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The tool's pricing is based on the number of queries you want on your database. The cost is small. To get the tool's pricing, you can do the math based on the cost per query, which is $0.002. If you're running your queries frequently, your charges will be higher than running fewer queries.
What other advice do I have?
I would give Snowflake a ten out of ten in terms of performance and a nine out of ten in terms of scalability. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten.
Users can pay as they use and not worry about the maintenance of the data warehouse
What is our primary use case?
The solution has use cases related to retail stores and sales.
What is most valuable?
The most valuable features of Snowflake are that you have to pay per usage, and you don't have to worry about the maintenance of the data warehouse because it is on the cloud.
What needs improvement?
The solution’s pricing could be cheaper. It would be helpful if Snowflake could create good reports instead of using Power BI reports.
For how long have I used the solution?
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate the solution a nine out of ten for stability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Snowflake is a scalable solution. We have four to five customers for Snowflake who use it regularly.
How was the initial setup?
The solution’s initial setup is straightforward.
What about the implementation team?
The solution's deployment in a development environment takes only a couple of minutes.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Users have to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
Snowflake is deployed on the cloud. The solution is providing HIPAA compliance, which is sufficient. Users looking for a pay-as-you-use product available on Azure or AWS should consider Snowflake.
Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.
