Very as good data warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
We have a large amount of data which the warehouse handles without issue. It also updates frequently.
What do you dislike about the product?
If something goes wrong, sometimes it's difficult to get an answer as to why.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a TON of data and needed a data warehouse to keep it in. This provides that solution.
Optimally Structured SaaS Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
The best parts about Snowflake are the ease of implementation, the no maintenance scalability and integration partner availability. From a storage perspective, it is extremely efficient. You can create a complete clone of a 5TB database (like a pointer) without using additional storage, only using enough storage to track changes. You can choose whether to persist the changes or create a real physical clone. This allows you to have staging copies to real-world test updates on live data before you commit them. Additionally...un-dropping dropped tables and point in time historical queries are nice too. Built in 2 factor auth is scalable.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are small admin usability features with the UI that could be improved, but it seems like with the latest release, they have addressed some of them. Easier 2 factor enrollment would be a nice to have. Honestly, you should not be able to enroll a user without 2 factor authentication enabled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise Data Warehouse at scale. Low people investment to get an enterprise solution in place. We can focus on the data vs the underlying technology struggles. There are integration partners like five tran and Matillion that work very well for ELT in order to get data into the Data Warehouse.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Don't waste your time setting up crazy configurations in the AZ arena. Just get this and start building. There is just not enough time to recreate the underlying plumbing every time you build a solution. This platform scales and is robust.
Good software

Snowflake computing is best for concurrent user data access, easy scaling of storage from few gigabytes to petabytes. Analytics on big data seems to be easy and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing of the features is not the best compared to other products in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analytics, cloud storage
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would suggest going for trial and evaluation copy initially to validate if the software meets the client requirements.

Snowflake Computing Review
What do you like best about the product?
I like software. I think this is a good fit with our company because it aligns with the best interest of the customers. It allowed us create software solutions that were based on customer needs and create value and ROI with a financial spin for a software solution
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the functionalities of adding/deleting to be navigated easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have realized opportunities to attack different verticals as a company with the confidence of cloud computing in snowflake computing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think I'm happy with what work Snowflake has done for our computing and I look forward to seeing it evolve and being on that ride.
Data Management Solution for the future
What do you like best about the product?
The fact that compute is actually separated from the storage. This makes scaling so much easier but it also makes it much more cost effective. Now that they got the pricing model down to one minute increments this platform is extremely accessible no matter what size the organization and\or data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Loading data into the environment can be clumsy. But once you get the hang of it, it is fairly straightforward to automate with standard ETL tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are addressing our needs for business intelligence reporting. Time to insight has decreased significantly and we are able to ask much better questions of our data at a deeper level of granularity.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure when comparing to competitors that you scrutinize the concept of storage being completely separate from compute. Also understand that there will be a need to adjust the way that you load data into the environment. While it is a standard database for querying it is not very performant on update and inserts.
Cost Efficient SQL with massive scalability!
What do you like best about the product?
UI, Querying speed, Quality of Support, Technology Events, query concurrency and the massive scalability they support!
What do you dislike about the product?
They have confusing terminologies that aren't very intuitive such as Warehousing, Databases. Also, they need to make data loading a lot more intuitive and easy. It should not take me more than 5 mins of time to get this done, even when I am new to Snowflake!
Also they need to make computing more affordable or give huge enterprise discounts.
Also they need to make computing more affordable or give huge enterprise discounts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Writing SQL queries on massive amounts of RDBMS and JSON data. Also sharing queries was easy with SnowFlake.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. A lot better than Redshift, BigQuery, RDS, Azure SQL etc..etc!
The Data Warehouse for the Non-Technical Analyst
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is modern and the interface is intuitive. The tool is highly customizable and sits on top of Amazon S3 for seamless data access.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface for running SQL-like queries is clunky.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our non-technical director formats and uploads manual data for ingestion into our larger data pipeline.
