An easy organizer for your data!

  • November 02, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is great way to organize your data by creating a number of statements to garner exactly what your looking for from any table or set of tables. It's incredibly powerful, and is great for setting up live data feeds to other applications.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not really speak to what I dislike about it since I haven't really encountered an issue which I wasn't able to resolve through quick Google searches or questiosn to colleages about. However, I think it would be nice to have a command or some window that defines what different keywords do.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I was using it, it helped me solve one of the most common problems - how to join two tables into one, and present that in a live data connection. The software I was connecting it to was Tableau.

Stable product with good analytics features

  • September 20, 2023
  • Review from a verified AWS customer

What is our primary use case?

Snowflake is good for analytical purposes when you have a lot of historical or sales data that you need to release and use for different types of analysis, such as tracking sales and measuring the performance of your sales team and product.

What is most valuable?

The product's most important feature is unloading data to S3. It provides a single syntax query to analyze data directly from a database to an S3 bucket.

What needs improvement?

The product's performance could be improved.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Snowflake for a couple of months. We are using the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We did not need to scale our Snowflake environment beyond what we needed. We have a fixed amount of traffic from a fixed number of clients. We know the load we need to handle, and based on that, our subscription is made.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Snowflake is cost-effective. The pricing is better than Firebolt. Firebolt is better when there is idle time. If we run Snowflake all the time, the cost will be higher.

What other advice do I have?

We are working on two solutions for Snowflake, one for the cloud and one for on-premises. It has good documentation. If someone goes through it, they will quickly understand how it works. However, Firebolt's documentation is more comprehensive. If I need faster results, I'll prefer the Firebolt; if I need performance, I'll use Snowflake.

Overall, I rate it a nine out of ten.

Speed of Snow

  • August 25, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake really stands out when it comes to query speeds. It’s evident they built the platform prioritizing efficiency, and that's reflected in how fast and accurately we can pull data. But what I truly appreciate is their approach to data access through role functionalities. It gives us a hands-on ability to dictate data accessibility, striking a perfect balance between security and user access.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake has a lot going for it, but there are areas I wish were better. The way they charge based on compute time can get expensive, especially if we're running queries non-stop. Even though it's packed with features, it can feel a bit much for those new to it. And, honestly, I wish they had their own visualization tools, so we wouldn't have to lean on other software for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake's been a game-changer for our data setup. Remember those annoying isolated data chunks we used to grapple with? Snowflake tossed those out the window, putting everything in one place. It's made getting to our data a breeze and kicked its quality up a notch too. Our team now dives straight into pulling insights rather than getting stuck joining dots. Plus, managing who sees what? A walk in the park. For me, Snowflake's taken a load of data headaches off the table, making things run smoother and helping us make better calls.

New edge tool for faster and efficient data storage

  • August 22, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use for new bees with the UI. It can be used for multiple usecases in small scale to big scale industries. It can widely used for data applications, data lakes, data engineering, data science, etc
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some gaps with certain functionalities like the the failure or success dataload intimation. There is an easy query for failure of data load but it cannot be customized and for the latter, you have to take a longer route.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helps us build a comprehensive data platform where data is accessed consistently , governed, high quality and secured. It also meets our operational needs like easy documented integration with AWS.

Snowflake data ware house review

  • August 18, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a snowflake developer , i will recommend to use Snowflake . Since it a cloud based patlform , it is best for both small and large scale companies.
It's a type of technology that helps companies handle and manage huge amounts of information. Imagine you have a giant puzzle made of data, and Snowflake is like the magic glue that holds all the puzzle pieces together. What's cool is that it works super fast, so even if you have pool of information and you don't know where to start with , Snowflake can organize it in a blink.

Using Snowflake feels like having a super-smart assistant. It helps businesses keep track of important stuff, like customers' information or sales numbers. Plus, it's really secure, like a digital vault for your data, so you don't have to worry about it getting lost or stolen.

One of the best things about Snowflake is that it can talk to different types of computers and software. So, if you're using one kind of computer and your friend is using a different one, Snowflake can still help both of you understand the same data. It's like having a language translator for computers!

Shares with Others: Snowflake helps you safely share your information with others, there are many featurs avalulable though which you can share your work(worksheet), data/database from one reason or one person to another.

Super Fast: Imagine it's like a super-fast computer for storing and finding information. you will be surprised to see how fast the results are calculated, analysed and result is given to you.

No Computer Troubles: You don't have to worry about fixing or taking care of the computer part. Snowflake does all of that by itself, so you can focus on using the data.

Another great feature is that Snowflake can grow and shrink according to what you need. So, if your business starts getting bigger and you have more data to deal with, Snowflake can handle it like a champ. And the best part is you will be charged as per your uses only. you can easly track your uses and and montly expence by the cost calculator.

Overall, Snowflake is like a superhero for businesses that need to manage lots of information. It's fast, secure, and can talk to different kinds of computers. If you're looking for a way to keep your data organized and safe.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are some of the cons that i can think of for snowflake , and listing them down .
Costs Money: Using Snowflake isn't free.you can login and have a trail period of 30 days but at the end of it you have to pay to continue. It's like having to pay a small fee to play with your favorite toys.

Needs Internet: Since it is a cloud based technology you have to be connected to the internet to use Snowflake.

Learning Curve: It might take some time to understand how Snowflake works, get to know all the features provided by snowflake , its interface, then you and use it more easly. there are several you tube videos available at your service. It's like learning how to use a new game or toy.

Not for Everything: Snowflake is great for certain things, but not for everything there are certain limitations .

Can be Slow Sometimes: Sometimes, Snowflake might take a little longer to find your information. It's like waiting a bit more for your favorite show to start.

Not very Flexible : While Snowflake can handle different types of data, it's not as flexible as playdough. It might not work well for really unique or unusual things.

Needs Good Security: You have to make sure you set up Snowflake securely to keep your data safe. It's like locking your diary to make sure no one reads your secrets.

Limited Offline Use: Since it needs the internet, you can't play with Snowflake when you're offline. It's like needing to be at the park to use your scooter.

Changes Happen: Sometimes, Snowflake might update or change things, and you'll need to adapt. It's like when your favorite game gets a new level that you need to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working as a data engineer in the era where big amount of data is available for a single piece of information , finding the right data for you is challenging . In my case storing, handling, processing and analysing the data and finding the result suitable for me is the best solution snowflake has provided me. On top of it , it has few more featues that is listed.

Shares with Others: Snowflake helps you safely share your information with others, there are many featurs avalulable though which you can share your work(worksheet), data/database from one reason or one person to another.

Super Fast: Imagine it's like a super-fast computer for storing and finding information. you will be surprised to see how fast the results are calculated, analysed and result is given to you.

No Computer Troubles: You don't have to worry about fixing or taking care of the computer part. Snowflake does all of that by itself, so you can focus on using the data.

A good SQL Query tool to access data

  • July 23, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Best feaures of Snowflakes that I liked -

1. Even with high data demand queries, the efficieny of Snowflake is great. It doesnot take much time to complete the query.

2.Snowflake is extremely scalable, allowing enterprises to add or remove compute resources as needed.

3. Snowfake has a intuitive user-interface which makes it very easy to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Things that I disliked about Snowflake -

1. Snowflake is a relatively pricey platform, which may be prohibitive for some enterprises.

2. Many open source tools cannot be used natively with Snowflake, which might make system integration challenging.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Users may access and exchange data more easily across teams and departments thanks to Snowflake's one platform for analysing data from many sources.
A wide range of security capabilities are available with Snowflake, including role-based access control, audit logging, and encryption both in transit and at rest.
