Excellent DW Platform

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility, elasticity, control, security, no maintenance, no downtime!!!
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing! We have to pay for every second we use. I would say one of the things I dislike the most is that we even have to pay for querying the Snowflake usage database. We shouldn't be billed for that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing away with our Oracle Data Warehouse and with our Big Data Platform. With that, a ton of time spent on maintenance is now going to be spent on development of our enterprise data model.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure you estimate your data usage properly so you can better estimate the price of using Snowflake

Not all of the database features exist yet. Simple things like constraints and stored procedures would be helpful.

Getting away from the complexity and expense of Oracle.

Fast and easy to use

  • June 04, 2019

What do you like best about the product?
Performance is a beast. Coming from an enterprise DWH's experience; Snowflake performance is day & night for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
administrative features are not readily available. On site support was iffy at times.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our traditional DWH was a hog riddled with lot of performance issues. Snowflake addressed those issues perfectly. Also, its integration with other cloud products (Infa, Oracle OAC) was seamless.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great product!

High performance cloud-based data warehouse

  • June 04, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Super fast query without much efforts to optimizing the database
What do you dislike about the product?
Injecting and pulling data could be easier
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to move our on-prem data warehouse to Snowflake. Test data in Snowflake is queried much faster than in tradtional on-prem databases. Easier access to database by cloud-based dashboards and such.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
high-perforrmance and easy integration. Data injection and pulling can be challenging at first. Overall, an excellent product.
