good experience with snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
in snowflake i like it's auto resume and auto scale feature, it's data scale feature is also best, data security feature in snow flake is also excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
ui/ux is not so good, does not support unstructured data, viewing meta data without querying data is not possible
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
storing tb of data and querying and processing large data set for analysis as it provides data warehousing, data lakes, data mining and ETL at single platform.
Cloud based database to build data warehouse !
What do you like best about the product?
Robust and scalable engine, Easy database maintenance, data cache helps to run the reports on top of snowflake objects, built-in function for easy data transformations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snow-pipe integration some time doesn't work based on the even trigger; The task functionality can be improved by having a dedicated UI on the snowflake page; this help to visualise the scheduling better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a scalable RDMS solution to build the data warehouse and data lake for the business need. The snowflake DB minimised the most of the work like db sizing, maintenance, etc.
Snowflake is a great Cloud platform for data warehousing.
What do you like best about the product?
Since snowflake is a cloud platform, many of the connection issues I would typically jump through was not an issue. They have a lot of features and SQL commands that make database management easy. I also like the ability to share data without loading the data into my account from another.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't anything I dislike, but there is one improvement I would like to see happen. It would be great if they would incorporate inline editing for tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Snowflake in a couple of different ways. The primary use case is data warehousing, but we also use it to share data with other accounts, and we use it in our application integration projects.
Awesome data warehouse tool with pretty good UI and decent python API
What do you like best about the product?
Snowsight, the new snowflake browser UI, is set up well for quickly drafting queries and has some helpful, albeit basic, visualization tools built in. The python connector API is pretty good too.
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple of irregularities in setting up the python connector on M1 macs, and some minor bugs in the snowsight ui (forgiveable since it's still pre-release IIUC)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drafting queries to pull data for our models, sharing data, data warehousing, and row-level security. It's an essential part of our organization's data engineering pipelines. Visualization tools allow for quickly sharing some high level summaries of our data.
Good Database and Security
What do you like best about the product?
It has good security and also good integrations with several other tools. We used it with Holistics as an SQL extractor and it works great. Is very good at extracting data and very quick to show results.
What do you dislike about the product?
In my experience but I think is more of a company policy about security. It would be great if Snowflake has its data extractor or a SQL extractor, it would be very useful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Is our current data warehouse for our app data. It also helps us to consolidate several datasets as our App, Enterprise Resource Planning and Customer Relationship Management.
Game changer tool for data warehousing needs
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake allows aggregation of hundreds of databases across different clouds and platforms into one single data warehouse which helps provide customers visibility of all their data across all our products.
It is much more than a database in cloud with massive amounts of features and functionality offered. (high volume data storage and handling, quick response time)

What do you dislike about the product?
Navigating and querying unstructured data in snowflake is bit of a challenge.
Switching between the data can be made better and we have to save the query snippets for future usage as functionality to create a link for any specific query is not there. Rest everything looks great.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data into Snowflake is extremely easy with fast API responses and scalable infra for data storage.
Its pay per use pricing model allows flexibility in terms of selecting the right package for the organisation and optimize for cost.

Using Snowflake requires some degree of technical expertise that not all members of a business may possess. Best for folks in at data organization.
