Snowflake provides connectyto SQL DBs and can be used for real time analysis of the dataset. It also provides the secure environment for databases and data with role management.

It does not support to unstructured data. Snowflake does not provide constraints to data. Loading bulk data is challenging in snowflake with use of snowpipes in some cases

Snowflake - a modern cloud based Datawarehouse

  • July 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake can be based on any of the three major cloud service providers namely GCP, Azure and AWS. So it is easy for organizations to stick to their preferred CSP and avail Snowflake services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably a graphical user interface for developers who want to do data modeling in the Snowflake environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is giving a very robust cloud-based data warehousing solution with all the benefits of going to the cloud. Data sharing is one critical area in data management and SNowflake's innovative way of sharing data without physically moving it as a great feature.

What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility in performance is pretty remarkable. Good third-party support. Good SQL improvements.

Can't use native SQL to build a stored procedure, swapping to Javascript is odd coming from a SQL Server background. Costs can be difficult to control at times

It gives us a secure space that can be made easily accessible to many tools supported by great query performance.

Snowflake Review

  • May 13, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
what I like most about Snowflake is there is no need to optimize and cluster tables it is done automatically in the most efficient way.
Also, it can be hosted on any database, and there is no need to install any dependent service to run snowflake
What do you dislike about the product?
Two things that I think must be improved are:
1. Sometimes it's server or execution part is not working properly, generally, the issue likes on the Snowflake side.
2. There is no role of indexing or PKS here.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a data warehousing solution.
It is used to extract, transform and load complex and huge datasets.
It helps in generating insights from the huge datasets which help in decision making.

Data Warehousing

  • May 03, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love the data governance and programming language support for python. We can easily create different schemas for different operations and create roles for users with specific access/permissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't support primary key constraints, so wherever we want to create a table with unique records we need to build a logic (query) in such a way that will only update the table with unique entries. I personally like the BI (snowsight) it is somewhat unappealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am storing my app's data and data extracted from firebase into snowflake using Hevo and python. Python connector for snowflake gives us the flexibility to transform our data and load it on the snowflake. The python-support of Snowflake is very good in my experience.

Great way to organize complex databases and return information for large enterprises

What do you like best about the product?
No frills here. Input SQL and get outputs. Easy control of who from the org gets access to what certain databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using Snowflake requires some degree of technical expertise that not all members of a business may possess. Best for folks in at data organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can control what readouts are seen by certain parts of the business. Prevent complicating matters for teams who do not need access and grant permissions to those who do need to see.
