Incredible performance and easy to roll out
What do you like best about the product?
Incredible query performance, easy to develop for, and even easier to transition to from our existing on-premise solution. The integrated workbooks are amazingly powerful as they currently exist, and we're excited to see the new features coming soon.
What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of the system configuration is behind obscure DML commands, such as SSO settings, so I can't validate them at a glance.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tableau views are running in a fraction of the time as compared to our on-premise EDW. Additionally, our slowly changing dimensions process and load in half the time.
Future of data bases is already here
What do you like best about the product?
No need to manage, always up, no DB Administrator needed anymore. Snowflake SQL is really easy and fully featured. Cost is fairly easy to project and allocate. Obviously, it scales like a charm. And did I mention that storage is dirt cheap? They basically are just passing S3's cost...
What do you dislike about the product?
On boarding experience takes longer than it should: I had to wait 3 days to get it activated...
Also, you can get a vanity address but it requires to talk to their sales teams and is a more convoluted process than it should really be...

Sales & Marketing Analytics Data Lakes
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is probably the easiest Data base to try for free, since it does not require management, and you get enough free credits to play with it for a while. If you reach out to their Sales team, you can obtain a vanity address for your instance such as MyCompany.snowflakecomputing.com.
Flexible compute means full control

It's really easy to write poor queries and ramp up warehouse cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT's enabled us to scale our platform inline with onboarding new customers.

Theresa's Snowflake review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to separate functional areas of the business to their own warehouse and allow them to work in their own environment without affecting the rest of the business
What do you dislike about the product?
The integration from Databricks if using okta
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are replacing our Hadoop environment and Datawarehouse while reducing complexity and providing a more reliable environment
Downed the Snowflake Kool-Aid
What do you like best about the product?
The announcements and new releases are proof of the innovation of its leaders and their drive to put customers first. The fact that Snowflake keeps getting better and better with no downtime is amazing. Can't wait to see more!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, can't think of one, but for my specific role, I would say it's hard to know who to talk to in the company due to the growth (a good problem to have, I suppose). It constantly changes making partner relationships difficult with Snowflake Sales Directors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently the big thing we are seeing is with MPP migrations coming up on end-of-life. Snowflake is the clear choice to maximize data warehousing and cloud benefits.
