Snowflake - Cloud data warehouse of the Century

  • October 13, 2021
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is very easy to use and scale-out.
I have seen my employer get miraculous insights into its Digital Supply Chain data.
Its seamless and secured integration with ready-to-use adapters with ERP like SAP makes it yet more demanding.
The dashboard and customizations are very handy and data warehousing becomes a cakewalk with proper implementation on Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Costing can be a concern for large organizations as other providers like Azure, AWS, or GCP can provide cost-effective platforms with their offerings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One of my previous company which majorly dealt with the sale of consumer electronics, faced an acute challenge of dead stock and monitoring its delivery and returns KPI. With the help of data warehousing solutions on Snowflake, we achieved a significant leap through in these areas. There was a month-on-month improvement seen in the supply chain KPIs.

Snowflake will capture a big Data Market soon

  • July 15, 2021

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is a growing Data Warehouse Storage and Analytics Technology which will capture a big Data Analytics market soon. Snowflake is a cloud-based technology that has reduced a significant burden from the customer in terms of hardware maintenance, replacing failed components, patch upgrade, 24*7 DBA support, etc.

The best about Snowflake is its unique architecture. I worked on many DW Tools and found it better, among others with below reasons -
1. No hardware maintenance (it reduces Datacenter maintenance cost)
2. Architecture is simple and easy to understand
3. Cost is directly dependent on the system usage, less load - Payless and vice-versa.

Most of the DBA work automated with its architecture -
1. Statistics collection
2. Query Optimization
3. Taking backup and maintenance
4. Warehouse auto-suspend and auto-resume.

Cool features added in Snowflake -
1. Data Sharing
2. Data Marketplace
3. Data Masking
4. Zero-Copy Cloning
5. Time Travel
6. Fail-Safe
7. Structured and Unstructured data Storage and reading capabilities
8. And many more features

I would surely recommend the companies that if you are planning to switch from the current DW env to another platform, do your POC on Snowflake once to know its benefits.
Snowflake provides good customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, Snowflake has provided alerts set up only for resource monitoring if they can add the capabilities to generate custom alerts like sending notification on database size threshold increased, etc., through monitoring tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Few Snowflake features have saved DBA time in terms of taking data backup, creating dev, test environment using its zero-copy cloning features
