Snowflake review

  • March 14, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
computation and storage are decoupled so we can keeping on adding storage without adding unnecessary computing power
What do you dislike about the product?
AD group are not fully supported. We have to manually manage user groups locally

DW is hijacked by some heavy SQL queries, which makes DW performing worse for other users.
We can see clear benefits

High quality, cloud-scale database platform

  • March 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

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

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.

Data Warehouse as a Service

  • March 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

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.

Easier, faster, cheaper. I love it.

  • March 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • March 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

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

  • March 13, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

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.
