  • Review provided by G2

It would be good to build out the visual interface a bit more.

Excellent DW Platform

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, elasticity, control, security, no maintenance, no downtime!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing! We have to pay for every second we use. I would say one of the things I dislike the most is that we even have to pay for querying the Snowflake usage database. We shouldn't be billed for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing away with our Oracle Data Warehouse and with our Big Data Platform. With that, a ton of time spent on maintenance is now going to be spent on development of our enterprise data model.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you estimate your data usage properly so you can better estimate the price of using Snowflake

Snowflake is all about speed and flexibility. It's easy to expand when necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not all of the database features exist yet. Simple things like constraints and stored procedures would be helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting away from the complexity and expense of Oracle.
