A Great and Dedicated Resource
What do you like best about the product?
This product is great and definitely is something that I would highly recommend to other companies. I feel that their support is great and it is something that has made our company able to manage our data more effectively at this time. I feel that in a pandemic situation we were able to share and analyze our data more efficiently with Snowflake and do this remotely at times which helped us not interrupt the flow of business at this time.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - This product was great and has worked well for us. We have not had any major problems and if we experience any issues support is ready to help us very quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had problems with our data management system and trying to manage large amounts of data with different tools in the past. We got Snowlfake and it has helped us manage our data in a more efficient manner and has helped us better with our workflow at this time.
Data warehouse solution in my tem.
What do you like best about the product?
It is a helpful tool, it's breathtaking for important tasks, despite having cloning and information sharing features, it functions optimally without a good deal of effort, despite an excellent query efficiency, it's quick despite having many combinations, along with a web user interface that is stable.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've no reservations about Snowflake, but it is an outstanding product with many helpful features, many of which do well. I've an excellent result.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is a tool for keeping info in information browsers, which allows us to find out whether a client is identified; this is a network support usually quickly accessed as well as allows us to start searching links entre data sources and many units, I can build data warehouses for many uses, additionally, it allows us to create data stores with this particular system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's user-friendly, additionally, it provides an awesome price to all, Snowflake is deeply as well as efficient, I suggest it. It's cost effective.
Game Changer
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake gives you the opportunity to start small and grow quickly, while not overspending up front. It has completely transformed our ability to deliver analysis of large data sets. The product is continuously improving. We are able to use many different tools to interface with Snowflake and have yet to run into a challenge we could not address.
What do you dislike about the product?
New features are released only in the West Coast region, and it takes a long time before everyone else can use them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are combining data from more than 20 different data sources into a Snowflake-based data lake. The flexibility in formats of the source data has helped us achieve maximum compatibility.
The backbone of data orgs
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has allowed us to streamline the most important pieces of information from our production databases to organize and visualize them in a way that is accessible to our entire organization. As a manager working cross functionally Snowflake has helped me answer technical questions about our schema without assistance from a tech lead while helping me organize my marketing analytics and insights for both internal and external products. The SQL writer is so easy to use and the ability to connect to so many disparate data sources in one place is an incredible value add to our DaaS and reporting.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found that it's easier to update account settings using SQL than from the GUI. This has caused confusion for less technical stakeholders on my team (finance, etc.). In general these areas could use some TLC to be more accessible. It would also be helpful to have clearer financial breakdowns of usage.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping the org make data driven decisions, getting database views and access without setting someone up on postgres and without risk to our production db, creating models of synthesized data in our BI tool. Wouldn't be possible without Snowflake!
Best cloud data warehouse solution with great value for money ratio
What do you like best about the product?
Performance and scalability. Pay as you go price model doesn't require large upfront invests makes it a great fit even for smaller companies. Feature completeness and still constant innovation with further great features.
What do you dislike about the product?
I thought long about it but couldn't find anything in this category.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create data warehouse to bring all data together in a single place for analysis. Now data from different systems can be easily combined for analysis. Manual processes are automated.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider combining it with ETL tools like Fivetran and/or Matillion.
Enabling Data integrity at scale
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to store semi-structured (chat messages) data at scale and able to parse them out easily as well on query. At Drift. The data team also looks to store the raw data before we transform and the variant data type in Snowflake is key to ensuring we can parse the data without having to backfill or do major code changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Clouds Services cost structure in Snowflake billing is a little less transparent and customers would like to know how we get charged or why charges vary for same workloads on different days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Snowflake for a product feature where we serve out customers more intelligence on who visits their website and how many times they visit they visit. This help sales team identify and see who their target accounts are.
Would never go back to another warehouse.
What do you like best about the product?
Separation of storage and compute make it so simple to manage capacity and ensure fast response times for all warehouse workloads. We can have analysts on one warehouse, another warehouse servicing our API, and yet another one to serve up customer dashboards, all working on the same data without affecting the response times of each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise account required for clustering, which not only increases the number of credits you will use but also drives up the cost per credit. The community forums are not that active and are a hassle to post to because of needing to have a support account that is different than your regular account. No ability to share data with consumers that have an account in a different region.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexible data warehouse to drive dashboards for our internal teams and customers. Secure data sharing is also a killer feature that is a million times easier than the old way of transferring csv files all around.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up with a credit card to try it out, you are only billed for the minutes that you use so it is easy to sample without committing to a big spend. Once you see the utility and power of how it works, you won't go back.
A faster, simpler way
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. The advantage of this environment is that there is minimal administrative work required to support rapid developments and users of all types. Disk provisioning , performance concerns are a thing of the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is largely a CLI environment. Many activities require writing code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single data source for many applications that scale to meet the demand of dashboard users and data scientists.
Long term Snowflake customer from financial services industry
What do you like best about the product?
Tri-Secret Secure : customer held key ensures that service representatives can not "see" our data.
Dynamic Compute Sizing : we can resize our compute resources (known as snowflake warehouses) to react to needs of the Business or to minimize cost.
Replication : we can replicate entire databases from one region (or cloud) to another easily and very quickly which is important with financial services data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Account Management : while we can see our consumption (compute and storage) online, we don't have access to see our current credit balance and forecasted usage.
Compute Resource Rationalization : we don't have the insight into whether the sizing of our compute resources are appropriate (too large or too small). Sizing becomes more of an art than a science.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved the issue of capacity management. Our previous solution required an upgrade to increase compute or storage sizing. Storage is only limited by the size of our budget and we now can resize compute ourselves. The net result is we have consumed much more data at the same price point as our previous solution which makes everyone (Business users, Finance team, and us) very happy.
