Snowflake is a robust data lake/warehousing solution
What do you like best about the product?
I stepped into a role where I was not informed I needed to use a database/warehouse. I spent 7+ years writing SQL for Teradata data warehouses so I wasn't new, but suddenly I had to code in a new platform.
I found that the editor remembered my code I had last run, the error messages were helpful, the line-numbering structure was effective. I could quickly edit pre-written SQL pieces, debug them and correct them without any trainings or "Snowflake specific" guidance

What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is easily reached via a browser, but that ease can be deceptive. DBA's can lock out sections of the database from users (Which is good) but then individuals jumping on can believe that the data doesn't exist, almost to a militant level. Something about the ease of access makes them feel like they know everything about the database.
It's not a terrible negative, but having to explain over and over that "there is more, but you don't have access" was a difficult challenge.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We, as a company, built silos into the very structure of the business. So many MySql instances "running on someone's hard drive". We bought companies as a way to increase our market share and they came with their own data warehousing solutions.
Snowflake became THE repository for all the data. Getting a new company's data in was quick, easy and made it reachable for everyone. It helped to break down silos.

Powerful tool to analyze the data
What do you like best about the product?
Integration with lacework allows me to consume lacework data in a better way. Better than lacework CLI and Lacework LQL
What do you dislike about the product?
No option to analyse an object or entity. Entity is a json object and the way it is displayed in the output is not helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a ton of data flowing in, we plan to integrate Hunters with snowflake to derive threat intelligence. Snowflake is that one place where all the data is collected.
Snowflake and it's integration with other tools like Clari, Salesforce & Tableau
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is a DB , where I can have all the relevant data in the form of tables at one place, and it not only allows me to write SQL in an efficient way to analyze data, but it has additional features like - intelligent suggestion, saving queries as worksheets, which I like the most. On top of that it's easy to integrate tools like salesforce, tableau and clari with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it's one of the best RDBMS out there, but it doesn't allow to have code blocks in single worksheet, and hence if I'm having 2 or more SQL statements in same worksheet, and I've to run one of them, I have to select whole query and press run, if we would have option to have code blocks, it would be more easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is one stop solution to store and analyze the data. If one is good with SQL, then snowflake allows us to get deep insights for sales and marketing performance of the organization.

Cloud based database to build data warehouse !
What do you like best about the product?
Robust and scalable engine, Easy database maintenance, data cache helps to run the reports on top of snowflake objects, built-in function for easy data transformations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snow-pipe integration some time doesn't work based on the even trigger; The task functionality can be improved by having a dedicated UI on the snowflake page; this help to visualise the scheduling better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a scalable RDMS solution to build the data warehouse and data lake for the business need. The snowflake DB minimised the most of the work like db sizing, maintenance, etc.
Snowflake is a great Cloud platform for data warehousing.
What do you like best about the product?
Since snowflake is a cloud platform, many of the connection issues I would typically jump through was not an issue. They have a lot of features and SQL commands that make database management easy. I also like the ability to share data without loading the data into my account from another.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I dislike, but there is one improvement I would like to see happen. It would be great if they would incorporate inline editing for tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Snowflake in a couple of different ways. The primary use case is data warehousing, but we also use it to share data with other accounts, and we use it in our application integration projects.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake has accelerated our ability to deliver a single reporting solution that combines many disparate databases.
It's cloud agnostic so we can put it on any cloud, in any region, so it lives where our apps/data are.
The ability to review activity/usage and see any and all previous queries is tremendously useful for debugging and analysis.

A phenomenal Cloud-based Data warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
The thingh I like the most about Snowflake platform is it's easy practises for database administration and data extraction. The application also includes a number of protected access-based requests that keep data secure and away from external threats.
What do you dislike about the product?
The main problem I personally faced while using this platform is it's difficulty to get data onto this platform automatically by configuring data engineering and task configuration. There are also various more data preparation capabilities available through the same interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our company selected Snowflake because of its ability for easy Ad-hoc reporting based on the cloud platform and also it's "pay on go" feature which makes it's budget friendly also.
