Outstanding Performance in a Truly Cloud Based Ecosystem

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Quick performance in a data driven world. We needed something that would scale, and snowflake delivered on all of their promises and then some. We were stuck on a more traditional database before and ran into issues of scaling and query performance despite it also being cloud based. Snowflake was able to help us in our realization of putting our customers first and getting insights into data far more quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some features that have been standard on traditional RDBMS systems haven't been implemented yet, but they are coming. Documentation on a number of features seems to be lacking or non-existent. Some of the community forums are hard to search for and find answers, especially with updated content and as new features are rolled out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance and reliability. Continuous delivery and ability to scale for access by many different users at a time.

Low barrier to entry

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
true separation of compute and storage, flexibility of spinning up warehouses, pass through cost of the storage. Easy to spin account up. Like the ability to re-size warehouses on the fly without restarting the underlying process
What do you dislike about the product?
unique SQL functions (not uncommon to any db provider). Heavy scripting to get data loaded, heavy scripting to build out the user groups, roles, grants, etc. around security.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing our data into one repository; migrating from Teradata EDW to snowflake. Benefits are performance, low compressed storage usage/cost.

The go-faster button for our reporting and data science

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake scales easily to meet our demands - no matter how much data we throw at it, no matter how complicated the query, we can solve the problem quickly and effectively. It's an extremely full-featured SQL dialect, and we can use it to do the heavy lifting on a lot of our data science efforts. And finally, the ability to spin up different compute resources for different tasks and avoid contention is a godsend.
What do you dislike about the product?
The web SQL editor can be a tad flaky at times (no pun intended), though I am excited to see the upcoming version that they just showed off. In general I'd love to get more updates from them about the great work and additions that they are constantly making to the platform; I sometimes discover great new features by accident when I am googling to solve a problem.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake powers our BI, helps us understand our key performance indicators, and feeds our advanced analytics efforts, allowing us to build data-driven products for our customers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take advantage of the ability to scale your warehouses! It's often just as cheap and you will get answers faster.
