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.

Fills the gap for a performant cloud warehouse

  • June 06, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Before Snowflake, you couldn't have it all. You either sacrificed performance or used flat files, sacrificing the benefits of an RDBMS. Snowflake has really figured out how to give you both in a way that's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's almost too open. For an enterprise, the set up for security is very difficult and feels much like a bolted on afterthought.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysts have trouble querying flat files, even with tools on top of the flat files. It's also slow. Snowflake solves a lot of this for the analysts.

New user with some feedback

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like the web-UI front end with the ability to still write SQL code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I had issues with the fact that all column and database names were in upper-case. But one of the experts here helped me out with the issue. It might be good to have an option to use either upper or lower case.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a new partner and Snowflake is helping us find partners that will mutually benefit both of our companies.
