  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I most appreciate the cloud accessibility and ability to access different data sources
What do you dislike about the product?
I most dislike the web browser UI. It feels underdeveloped from a user stand point - I was very excited to see the preview of the new version coming soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Different data sources. The largest benefit is the elasticity in resources that are instantly resizeable.

Data Warehouse at its best

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best feature that I like about Snowflake as a database or data warehouse is the ability to Clone the data at no extra cost, and create Dev, test and Prod environments. the ability to go back in time are few of the best features. Being a develop I'm always fearful of accidentally dropping tables and not actually having backup scares me. but Snowflake eliminates that with features like time travel.
What do you dislike about the product?
Auto correct or auto complete are few of the features that I would be interested in. But with Snowflake acquiring Numeracy, I'm hopeful to have a lot more query edit features.added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are Snowflake partners that are trying to help clients to move from their legacy systems to Snowflake.

The only real thing that annoys me is that F5 refreshes the screen instead of running the query. Simple things.

We are helping our clients move off of old architecture and help them improve response times and cut down on costs.

Fills the gap for a performant cloud warehouse

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Before Snowflake, you couldn't have it all. You either sacrificed performance or used flat files, sacrificing the benefits of an RDBMS. Snowflake has really figured out how to give you both in a way that's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's almost too open. For an enterprise, the set up for security is very difficult and feels much like a bolted on afterthought.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysts have trouble querying flat files, even with tools on top of the flat files. It's also slow. Snowflake solves a lot of this for the analysts.

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
regional failover AND cloud service failover as new features, i.e failover from AWS to Azure. Simple to use, secure, and connect.
What do you dislike about the product?
still missing some standard RMDBS functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
availability and scalability issues

New user with some feedback

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the web-UI front end with the ability to still write SQL code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had issues with the fact that all column and database names were in upper-case. But one of the experts here helped me out with the issue. It might be good to have an option to use either upper or lower case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a new partner and Snowflake is helping us find partners that will mutually benefit both of our companies.

Performance, easy to learn. Easy scaling is the one feature which made it really appealing.
