Game changer in the Date Warehouse space
What do you like best about the product?
Cutting edge DW with ability to handle unstructured data. Splitting compute vs. storage is genius.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes being on the cutting edge has some drawbacks in terms of bugs, but that's part of the fun.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handling unstructured data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it! Seriously it's wayyy better than Azure and AWS

The age of hadoop and redshift is dead, we've been using it for 4 years and never looked back.
What do you like best about the product?
It just works, seriously. We love the support, have had almost issues with it. The SQL dialect is pretty standard, few small quirks, but it's worth taking the time to convert your existing queries to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
That it didn't come out sooner. The one thing is that UI is a little buggy sometimes but honestly we use various SQL IDE's like Datagrip so it's not an issue for us.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data management, analytics, and machine learning problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just do it.
It just works
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use of the platform and the lack of need for maintenance
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing that I dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Replacing out dated and / or slow systems that didn't work well.
Enabling analytics and data science to perform at scale
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflakes proprietary 3 tiered architecture is enabling analytics and data science at a scale previously difficult to accomplish. My clients need instant data, real-time reporting and the flexibility to blow things up into enterprise solutions without the legacy monolithic burdens that come from traditional alternative technology stacks. Looking forward to the evolution of this already fantastic solution!
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see more product development on the wed based client for end user local file data upload. A lot of clients today aren't necessarily as technical as others and are certainly not DBAs with the skills necessary to fully exploit the power of the platform. The best client relationships come from working within an organization in the small business units that have to self-service independent from enterprise resources, we need to further enable them to succeed!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analytics, data science, machine learning, data sharing at scale.
Snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
Simple UI, easiness of usage, detailed billing
What do you dislike about the product?
UI latency in the query history table, slow switching between roles
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sharing the data across the organization
Fast and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Performance is a beast. Coming from an enterprise DWH's experience; Snowflake performance is day & night for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
administrative features are not readily available. On site support was iffy at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our traditional DWH was a hog riddled with lot of performance issues. Snowflake addressed those issues perfectly. Also, its integration with other cloud products (Infa, Oracle OAC) was seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product!
Very effective
What do you like best about the product?
The performance gain experienced by our team was phenomenal for our deliverables. Very much looking forward to the plethora of tools we can use on side with Snowflake
What do you dislike about the product?
not much! But if theres one thing, it would be being able to run loops in your query!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance! I'm sure theres other engineering tasks that I'm not including.
High performance cloud-based data warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Super fast query without much efforts to optimizing the database
What do you dislike about the product?
Injecting and pulling data could be easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to move our on-prem data warehouse to Snowflake. Test data in Snowflake is queried much faster than in tradtional on-prem databases. Easier access to database by cloud-based dashboards and such.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
high-perforrmance and easy integration. Data injection and pulling can be challenging at first. Overall, an excellent product.
Data Warehouse Modernization
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to take several approaches in our data warehouse modernization journey - ease of lift and shift vs total refactoring. We can enable our customers at the speed of our data without the worry of replatforming to newer on prem infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a stronger set of capabilities to enable migration of large data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of scale to respond to heavy on demand workloads.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's a journey, but well worth the patience to modernize.
A great, scaleable database
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization does not have a constant load on the database. With most solutions, this means that we normally need under powered hardware to save money, or over-sized servers to meet our peak load times. Snowflake's auto scaling and multi-cluster support have been extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The federated login and duo support is buggy at best. We've enforced duo login for our ACCOUNTADMIN roles, but that makes dealing with most IDEs and Tableau a nightmare since they don't support the option to use private keys.
Additionally, the role based security is very hard to manage. We have 80 permission levels spread across 7 data domains. Since a user isn't able to utilize more than one role at a time, we have to then create user specific roles that inherit just their permissions. I would much rather simply assign roles to users and skip the role setting during login.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest problems have been lack of horsepower on our servers. Snowflake has allowed us to scale our infrastructure in a much more cost effective way.
