Time saver, ease of use, sharing data with a click of button and cost platform is built for every business structure. Tool with a lot of power and yet built in simplicity!@

Usually the basics of common training materials. It's easy to use once setup, but getting through the setup is sometimes a little more than the regular business customers would like to deal with. Still rate a 10/10 for most liked!

Time, tools, people, infrastructure and cost! All are simplified by scoping Snowflake correctly for our suite of tools.

Let it Snow

  • June 04, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
True cloud warehouse which makes the compute and storage go without limit.

Relatively new. It's hard to get all the metadata information

Simple to use cloud data warehouse

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Having the ability to spin up/down compute on demand is very useful. Traditional ETL patterns no longer need to be followed to get good results. Native JSON support makes dealing with APIs simple and easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cumbersome security model is a pain to use but in reality much better for the data warehouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having the ability to work with billions of rows of structured and unstructured data makes delivering insights much faster and easier.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't expect stored procedures to act like you expect if you are coming from SQL Server, but just use them for what they can do.

A great Solution for Data Warehouse

  • March 26, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The computing speed for the queries has been greatly increased. You an make it even more scalable by increasing the size of VM instance. Ideal for warehouse which follows star schema .
What do you dislike about the product?
Doesn't support stored procedures/ functions. Date operations are pretty complicated and lengthy. The import from CSV doesn't work as well. It requires long process where you have to stage a file to AWS Storage and then only you are allowed to import.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have the Data Warehouse in Snowflake which is the central storage for our business data. The computing is faster allowing large and complex ETLs to execute quickly.
