Snowflake Review 2019
What do you like best about the product?
I most appreciate the cloud accessibility and ability to access different data sources
What do you dislike about the product?
I most dislike the web browser UI. It feels underdeveloped from a user stand point - I was very excited to see the preview of the new version coming soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Different data sources. The largest benefit is the elasticity in resources that are instantly resizeable.
Snowflake has made Data Security and Sharing a Breeze!
What do you like best about the product?
Data sharing is easily my favorite aspect of Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like the UI, although it's not the selling point, I wish it looked nicer!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're solving data sharing to our customers by leveraging reader accounts.
Fills the gap for a performant cloud warehouse
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
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.
Truly the best data management platform on the market
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has consistently exceeded expectations in terms of performance and capabilities. Their platform is smooth and intuitive and, above all, fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
The worksheets can use a lot of work. For example, there's no easy way - to my knowledge - to download a script aside from copy/pasting into a text editor. THere's also no way to save or share scripts across teams, which can be annoying
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake enabled our products to go to the next level by ingesting an order of magnitude more data.
Using SnowFlake to transition to cloud
What do you like best about the product?
The architecture and how it allows our business get value from our data.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would like to see more consistent performance on live connections with BI tools like Tableau
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance with our on prem data warehouse. We were able to go live with business requirements using SnowFlake.
Flexible compute means full control
What do you like best about the product?
I like the scalable nature of Snowflakes' warehouse billing. Combined with the flexible nature, the data sharing offers new product opportunities
What do you dislike about the product?
It's really easy to write poor queries and ramp up warehouse cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
IT's enabled us to scale our platform inline with onboarding new customers.

Experience with Snowflake so far
What do you like best about the product?
The workflow has been very seamless. Does a lot of heavy lifting for us. The various ways to connect including the UI , snowsql is phenomenal.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation and tutorials could be expanded more covering a lot of things that are hidden or not as visible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Date Warehousing. Lots of manual effort reduced and cost savings
Snowflake conference attendee
What do you like best about the product?
I like the events and the multiple talks given. Its still early in the conference so I cannot give a full review until after the conference. The mobile app also helps a lot!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was more labs as well as little more organized on how the rooms are laid out and how to get from place to place.
