Snowflake is the best interface out there
What do you like best about the product?
Built in geospatial functions in Snowflake, easy way to search the db, easy way to see parsed json in one click before querying, and all around intuitive to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like if you are working and accidentaly swipe to the left it kicks you back to the login screen. Super annoying. Also, when i work in snowsight to share queries when I save it and try to share with someone else it's still blank.
Also stop trying to push snowsight on users. Snowsight has bugs (memory issues limits on big querys) and hidden stuff (uploading data), I just want a direct log in to the classic console.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
querying data for adhocs, build pipelines for visuals in Tableau or other products, and keep data organized, help with geospatial queries to identify lat/long within geometries
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Dig in and play around. Use the built in geospatial functions.
Data Warehouse can't be better than this
What do you like best about the product?
- Excellent user interface and navigation features in the web portal.
- Easy to log in via SSO (Single Sign-On)
- Users can create unlimited worksheets and works are auto-saved for future use.
- Easy to run SQL queries just by highlighting the portion to execute.
- On the sidebar, we can find database objects like tables present in the dev/prod database.
- When executing complex queries, you can monitor running performance on each node.
- Another app version called Snowsight is available which also includes all features.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Whenever you want to execute a query you have to select it before running.
- Once a worksheet is deleted it's hard to find it back.
- Not easy for fresh eyes. Requires learning or background knowledge before using it.
- It will be really good to have a one-liner description pop-up when we hover a mouse on any button in UI.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Snowflake for collecting logs and stats data from customers cluster. For the development and testing I prefer to use dev version and for publishing final data we use Prod version and create tables to store/query on data. The SQL query also supports all operations which I use to filter the results and store the output on aws for sharing with team. Depending on the role of user, we can set their limitation to acces the prob db tables and data.

Snowflake Review
What do you like best about the product?
what I like most about Snowflake is there is no need to optimize and cluster tables it is done automatically in the most efficient way.
Also, it can be hosted on any database, and there is no need to install any dependent service to run snowflake

What do you dislike about the product?
Two things that I think must be improved are:
1. Sometimes it's server or execution part is not working properly, generally, the issue likes on the Snowflake side.
2. There is no role of indexing or PKS here.

It is a data warehousing solution.
It is used to extract, transform and load complex and huge datasets.
It helps in generating insights from the huge datasets which help in decision making.

Data Warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
I love the data governance and programming language support for python. We can easily create different schemas for different operations and create roles for users with specific access/permissions.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't support primary key constraints, so wherever we want to create a table with unique records we need to build a logic (query) in such a way that will only update the table with unique entries. I personally like the BI (snowsight) it is somewhat unappealing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am storing my app's data and data extracted from firebase into snowflake using Hevo and python. Python connector for snowflake gives us the flexibility to transform our data and load it on the snowflake. The python-support of Snowflake is very good in my experience.
Great way to organize complex databases and return information for large enterprises
What do you like best about the product?
No frills here. Input SQL and get outputs. Easy control of who from the org gets access to what certain databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using Snowflake requires some degree of technical expertise that not all members of a business may possess. Best for folks in at data organization.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can control what readouts are seen by certain parts of the business. Prevent complicating matters for teams who do not need access and grant permissions to those who do need to see.
Good cloud platform for analysing the data.
What do you like best about the product?
We can get the data from AWS, GCP and analyze it on SF.
What do you dislike about the product?
Faced functionality issues in some cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Was working on a migration project. Good UI, one should not worry about resource management.
Snowflake is recommended, but it doesn't come cheap.
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of administration and robust uptime.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost is quite high compared to competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data availability and ease of ingress.

Snowflake is not supporting unstructured data right now
