Fast, Affordable, Scalable

  • March 12, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Beats Redshift in performance and cost. The in-time snapshot to roll back data to a previous state is also pretty incredible. The data storage costs is very low in comparison to Redshift and the computational speed far exceeds what Redshift can handle. DUO push as a two step authentication is a bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extra fees for security and vpc. Not really a big fan of paying roughly 30-50% more for AWS VPC routing.
Also there might be a need for more support hours since databases can be used 24/7 downtime can occur anytime. During a regional, but not national Holiday, most of the company was out and there wasn't any method to contact support team besides leaving a phone number and waiting it out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Analysis, Big Data. Parallel queries.

Reaped benefits in roughly 1/3 the cost of Redshift and in significantly improved query times.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better support hours. During one of the regional but not national US holidays it was hard to reach anyone for support. Wondering if there are better support pricing plans.

Also would be nice to not have to pay significantly more for AWS security integration features. All in all, it still beats out Redshift by miles.

Fast Data storage

  • March 12, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is easy to use, and abstracts away a lot of the annoying problems of database management I had to deal with when running my own.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's poor visibility into query optimization, but that's not so bad because it runs so fast. I also don't know how optimally I use all of my warehouses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing large quantities of data without worrying about scaling databases

Near Zero Maintenance

  • March 02, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
We have taken over all of the DBA management for our warehouse(s) without additional resources. This is because we don't have very many maintenance or configuration tasks (or issues).
What do you dislike about the product?
Have a more robust stored procedure features will be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing maintenance of our data warehouses (building indexes, restarting servers, etc)
Meeting SLAs by moving from nightly batch processing to near-real-time micro-batching (15-30 mins).
Product stability and improved performance
Reducing cost
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Snowflake out performs others by separating compute and storage. Per second billing in conjunction with pausing and auto resume can really save cost. We have very little maintenance and configuration work. My team has taken over all of the DBA tasks since there are so few and it's very low complexity.

Amazing Solution!

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake's flexibility in the data warehouse space is amazing. The scalability and price can't be beat! Plus, I have an amazing Account Exec, Chris Li, that is always passionate about providing the best value.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to see smart text when drafting SQL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In the process of developing an Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW). We've made a lot of progress and our internal customers can run queries that are extremely fast making it easier for them to make key decisions.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it! You'll be amazed at the query performance and low cost

Turnkey simplicity

  • February 27, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake just works! No crazy complexity required to fine tune the system, no complex spreading of data across nodes, partitioning, indexing, configuation etc. Need a separate 'box' for heavy duty BI queries? Spin one up instantly! Need a bigger resource for a big ETL job, again spin one up instantaneously and shut it down when it's done - per second billing means you don't pay for resources you don't need. You can really tell a lot of thought has gone into a complete redesign - it hasn't been 'stretched' for the cloud, but 'built' for the cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing really! The organisation is growing rapidly, so they don't necessarily have the customer suppot teams outside of Europe. Some functions are WIP e.g. additional windowing functions, recursion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is acting as a data lake/warehouse for my organisation, which alleviates the need to have eg Hadoop for storage and an RDBMS for presentation. One platform makes it so much simpler.
