A faster, simpler way
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. The advantage of this environment is that there is minimal administrative work required to support rapid developments and users of all types. Disk provisioning , performance concerns are a thing of the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is largely a CLI environment. Many activities require writing code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single data source for many applications that scale to meet the demand of dashboard users and data scientists.
Long term Snowflake customer from financial services industry
What do you like best about the product?
Tri-Secret Secure : customer held key ensures that service representatives can not "see" our data.
Dynamic Compute Sizing : we can resize our compute resources (known as snowflake warehouses) to react to needs of the Business or to minimize cost.
Replication : we can replicate entire databases from one region (or cloud) to another easily and very quickly which is important with financial services data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Account Management : while we can see our consumption (compute and storage) online, we don't have access to see our current credit balance and forecasted usage.
Compute Resource Rationalization : we don't have the insight into whether the sizing of our compute resources are appropriate (too large or too small). Sizing becomes more of an art than a science.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved the issue of capacity management. Our previous solution required an upgrade to increase compute or storage sizing. Storage is only limited by the size of our budget and we now can resize compute ourselves. The net result is we have consumed much more data at the same price point as our previous solution which makes everyone (Business users, Finance team, and us) very happy.
The best technology choice we have made from long time
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of use, performance
Almost compatible with every other tools : legacy or new Data tools

What do you dislike about the product?
nothing, we haven't find, so fare, any limitation to the datacloud platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One unique source of truth in the company for IT department and data departement, serving all the business needs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From our point of view THE best cloud data platform
Revolutionized the Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Separation of storage vs compute and very transparent billing
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance with visualization tools is not the best
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems for good access to data and quick onboarding of users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. start small because costs can otherwise add up quickly. Don't jump on to big migrations without testing the difficult parts.
Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
It is web-based and is intuitive. There are support forums to use also.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as it gives me everything I need to be successful with my position.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great to use with data and see what areas we are succeeding in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a plan for what you are wanting to do and enjoy the experience.
Great Performance And Ease Of Use
What do you like best about the product?
Its ease of use. The solution feels natural for people that have worked with relational databases before because of its implementation of basic SQL. However, combining structured and semistructured data in a query is extremely simple, and the performance is impressive. You can pull millions of rows in an instant by just setting the correct warehouse size.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is little to dislike about Snowflake. Its performance and ease of use are incredible. However, Snowflake can still be considered a newcomer to the market, so the breadth of solutions that integrate and communicate with Snowflake is somewhat reduced compared to other products (SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to improve the performance of our ETL processes. We had ETLs that ran for close to 15 - 20 hours to move data into the data warehouse. After multiple reviews, we identified that there was little we could do with our ETLs. But moving the DWH to Snowflake was the solution to all our problems.
Snowflake is amazing
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is the easiest cloud data mart I’ve used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake does not allow you to extend the length of table names - you have to know what you’re looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is allowing me to bring data to decision makers faster.
Great Analytical data warehouse tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to host our Datawarehouse on the cloud. We find Snowflake as a good data warehousing solution. It is very easy to create Fact and Dimension Tables. we can clone the data which secure data and fast retrieval of data without impacting other downstream systems
Easy to Impliment
What do you like best about the product?
Cloud solution is easy to impliment - We had it up and running in an hour or two.
IDE remembers the tabs and queries you had open.
Cheap solution to impliment.
Costing platform is great.

Cheap solution to impliment.
Costing platform is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited functionality in terms of functions, sub queries and some flexible dynamic tricks that SQL can do , that Snowflake can't.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Setup our datawarehouse over a weekend and was able to bring together different data sources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Really easy to implement and their costing platform is great.
There is a bit of learning and frustrations if you switch from MS SQL, as snowflake has its own little quirks and some more advanced sub quering and transformations that does not work.
