High quality, cloud-scale database platform
What do you like best about the product?
Our model is to share access to various portions of an analytics warehouse in a multi-tenant, multi-cloud environment. Snowflake has been tremendously easy to implement and configure to support our model. Customer provisioning is straightforward and cost per customer metrics are easy to collect. Managing the per-tenant shares is a piece of cake.
What do you dislike about the product?
One current snag in the customer onboarding model for us is that there is a manual finalization step on Snowflake's side for setting up a new customer reader link to our primary account. This is a one-time step per customer that can be performed ahead of time, so it's not a crisis, but having this be fully automated would be a huge win for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Isolating views and access for customers to a central analytics platform while being able to measure and control costs on a per-customer basis

Easy, scaleable, seemless
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake perfectly suits our needs - it turns on and scales up automatically, and is invisible, and free, when not in use. Couldn't ask for more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single, consolidated place for our many data sources. Will scale to match our needs seamlessly into the future.
Great service
What do you like best about the product?
Really great customer services. they answered my queries in a quick and professional manner. And its great that you only pay for what you query.
What do you dislike about the product?
All the problems that we have had with snowflake have always been addressed appropriately.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helped us get on top of our data and BI issue. helping us build our core data products.
Data Warehouse as a Service
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that the interface is simply SQL, you don't need to learn something else. The web interface is nice and gives a lot of details about what's going on. Also support is usually responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Intuitions based on using SQL with a relational database no longer apply. Also execution times vary by a lot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data analysis. Main benefit is not having to manage our own infrastructure.
Very Good Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The query time is significantly better than qubole
What do you dislike about the product?
There are no stored procedures and no scheduler
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cost saving vis-a-vis reduced query time
Easier, faster, cheaper. I love it.
What do you like best about the product?
Having data and compute decoupled has been amazing. We save lots of money by suspending the warehouse when it's not in use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I only just learned about the cluster key feature. I'd like more proactivity towards what tuning I can do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We provide an analytics database to our customers. The flexibility of data types along with the hands off approach to performance and tuning have been very valuable. Having data and compute decoupled has been a big cost saver for us.
Really good product
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has the best balance between price and computing power. Redshift tiers are expensive on either storage or computing, snowflake provides best of both worlds
What do you dislike about the product?
The ecosystem is somewhat immature - you have to figure out the best ETL/data infrastructure around Snowflake
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reporting - we have massive amounts of data and using SQL our front end tool (Tableau) is getting bogged down
Recommend Snowflake For Quick/Easy Data Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
It is wicked fast! Queries run faster than out 128 GM memory Oracle DB even when just running the small compute size. Also, everything is simple and they regularly improve the product.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worksheet functionality could be improved. Would be nice to save worksheets externally. Had issues with them not saving properly and all SQL scripts I had saved were lost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing in data from disparate sources, cleaning it, and finding new insights.
Benefit to us was setting up quickly and not worrying about any DB administration.

Fast and efficient DB
What do you like best about the product?
That's the fastest and the most agile DB I ever worked with. I also deeply appreciate scale-ability as you can always throw in more computational power if you need so without any hassle
What do you dislike about the product?
Some queries are not optimized as you'd expect them to be, that leads to you writing some workarounds which work "kind of" the way you wanted them to be. Sometimes support team resolves problems, but sometimes they reply something like "it's the way it works, deal with it". I also wish the query details\profile screen was easier accessible from worksheets: the UI is sort of slow in switching from worksheet to query details and if you do that as one off - it's not a biggie, but as you do it more often - that becomes a hassle as UI getting laggy and works slow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big data analysis and pre-computations, kpis became easier with Snowflake. We were able to achieve our tasks of serving data in the way our customers need, with all metrics they need fast enough so they are happy
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be careful about not using lots of partitions: use clustering, make your queries to skip partitions as early as possible if they don't qualify to make their way in the end result. All in all for me it's like Elastic Search in the DB world: very powerful and agile, easy to tailor to your needs, but you should be careful with the conditions and how you write your queries
Great simple interface where it's easy to add the right resources for the job
What do you like best about the product?
Very clear UI.
Easy to resize resources to get the job done
Python connector works great

What do you dislike about the product?
Pretty inefficient with very wide tables and with INSERT statements
Not 100% stable; things hang or shut down periodically
