What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is not supporting unstructured data right now
Bulk load is bit problem
No usage limit company may see some surprise in pricing if they use more resources

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have data warehouse which migrated from hadoop to snowflake.very scalable appliance with awesome performance. Very easy to use and not much of admistration work
Snowflake the next gen cloud solution
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of access, one-stop shop for data sharing problems in a financial sector
What do you dislike about the product?
Perhaps, cost of owning a space is to be thought about
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Socializing the data across enterprise without having multiple infrastructure and manpower within the same organization thereby optimizing the cost of ownership of data being acquired
Fast and efficient data warehouse tool
What do you like best about the product?
- Easy to set up and use
- Easy to scale with virtual warehouses
- Storage and compute resources are separated
- Supports structured and semi-structured data such as JSON and Avro
- Easy to write queries as it follows the SQL dialect

What do you dislike about the product?
- No support for local development testing, hard to implement unit tests to validate application functionality that integrates with snowflake
- Switching warehouses is confusing
- SQL editor should support auto-complete and highlight features
- Compilation times for complex queries are high; analysts need to have some basic idea of partitioning data.

We are using Snowflake as our data warehouse. Data is loaded to snowflake as part of scheduled ETL process. Data Analysts connect to snowflake using BI tool (Looker) for anlysis and building reports.
How snowflake become leader of the cloud storage in current situation.
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing i like about the snowflake is its supports both share disk and share nothing architecture.it is a centralised based storing cloud database and its support all the new cloud services like AWS,Azure,GCP.
What do you dislike about the product?
Its not cost effective as it is charge the money for the duration that a warehouse is on and how much time you use the warehouse for analysis or any purpose.
So its not good for taking snowflakes clouds storage for a small projects.

Best benefits of snowflakes I would say the caching part.in snowflakes it provides two levle of caching one is the Result caching and another is the meta data caching. Due to this caching its avoid the unwanted use of any warehouse.
Snowflake Review
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has a very clean UI, and it is simple to use. After about a week of playing around, I understood how most of the functionality worked in the tool which saved me so much time.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest issue I ran into so far is that Snowflake doesn't have the capabilty to automatically refresh data in a maternalized view, so the table I created can't be refreshed unless it is a manual process or set up outside of Snowflake.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We now have a warehouse that centralizes all of our data, which we never had before. This is great for security reasons, as we all as organization.
Snowflake is an excellent database
What do you like best about the product?
Very scalable and easy to integrate with my pipelines and visualization tools. Also very robust functions and functionality
What do you dislike about the product?
User and profile management can be be a pain
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Held our data for internal and external reporting
Reliable data warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is reliable, and pretty fast for most workloads. The best feature is you can save some money by using only the amount of computer that is needed.
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasionally Snowflake takes a poor query optimization path. This is not unique to Snowflake though.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analtics, dashboards, training ML and evaluating ML quality.
No data silos with snowflakes
What do you like best about the product?
With snowflakes there's always encryption-on with data in rest and days in transit. It is one of the best platforms to ensure data security while aiding unification of data from data warehouses and data lakes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Higher costs when compared to its competitors. Also, the performance optimization alerts and notifications are way lesser compared to other cloud data warehouses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our data team uses snowflake platform for offloading ETL. We are using it to store unstructed data. Snowflake offers high speed querying which is the best advantage of the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with it because it is far better than the other in-built warehousing services the cloud providers offer.
Snowflake is an amazing serverless tool for Datalake creation and analytics.
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake access is an easy process overall. The objects/tables creation DDL is much similar to a SQL server/MySQL syntax. Any number of tables with any number of elements could be created in your snowflake workspace. The analytical queries could be executed on top of the snowflake in a very efficient and smooth fashion with tremendous performance throughput. The flexibility of datatypes and having the string representation of any type of element is the most conducive flexibility of snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake queries and structure need some training to get acquainted with. The extract process has special syntax that needs separate skill.
Some of the table constructs in snowflake could be complex in nature. Different role exerts different restrictions on the table objects and not every user will have access to all the tables in snowflake.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake enabled my organization to create several tables under several subject areas. The tables created are interlinked with many common elements and act as a chained data lake. The series of objects on a holistic basis represent the business entities associated with the lake.
Any new and subsequently identified objects are easily appended to the snowflake workspace. The population of these tables could be accomplished easily via multiple data load strategies. Different types of file format like json, csv and many others are supported for data load within snowflake. The file to be loaded could be either uncompressed or compressed.
The schema definition classifies the list of objects in a subject area. Role definition and grants assigned to the role provide the necessary security needed for the table's accesses and unauthorized restrictions. The user needs to necessarily specify the schema along with the table name in order to access and query a table successfully.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good serveless datalake tool to consider for your bigdata/DBMS needed.
Super fast and easy
What do you like best about the product?
i like snowflake sql syntaxes (10x better than MYSQL) and the query speed. Storage is also super cheap since they charge by compute usage like a utility bill. Its not laggy and i can share my sql sheets easily with others
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the UI experience for users, I end up using pycharm or dbeaver and connect to snowflake to write my sql queries. yes, the new snowsights is better than the classic console, but it also took away some of the things I enjoy about classic console. I like the ability to access the accounts (admin related stuff) / datawarehouses pages on the same sql page
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
query speed. customers are happy with the results returned compared to some competitor tools...
