Powerful platform for handling large data workloads easily !
What do you like best about the product?
I like how effortless it is to scale up or down based on workload. Queries run fast and the separation of storage and compute keeps performance consistent even when multiple users are active. The interface is clean and the integration with BI tools like Power BI and Tableau works perfectly for analytics projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Costs can climb quickly when queries run continuously. Some monitoring options feel limited unless you use external tools. The learning curve for role management is also a bit tricky at first.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solved our data silos problem by centralizing everything in one warehouse. Different teams now access the same clean data without duplication. It saves hours each week since we don’t have to export or transform files manually. Collaboration between analytics and engineering teams is smoother which helps deliver reports faster.
Good decision for cloud data warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
Depending on the size of your warehouse, we can handle a large amount of data without performance issues. This would be very difficult with an on-prem server.Further, the separation of storage and compute helps with resource management.Additionally, we're a Tableau shop, and Tableau has a built-in connector with Snowflake that is reliable and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost management can be challenging. This is where the size of the warehouse comes into play (see What do you like best about Snowflake?). If you optimize the size of your warehouse small, costs will be smaller. Along these lines, it's best to understand credit usage early to make sure you're managing effectively. But overall, few negatives that can't be managed with some forethought.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our infrastructure is quite complex, but since Snowflake is fully managed, we no longer have to worry about provisioning or ongoing maintenance. This allows our data architecture team to focus on more valuable work, while our data analytics team benefits from uninterrupted access, as maintenance issues no longer cause downtime. Scalability is another key advantage—Snowflake efficiently processes large volumes of data without requiring our architecture team to oversee the infrastructure. This not only saves time but also enables quicker queries, even as our total data volume increases. Ultimately, this leads to faster project scaling, quicker insights, and allows us to devote less effort to managing our data strategy.
Efficient, scalable, and reliable data warehouse for modern analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake’s ability to handle large volumes of structured and semi-structured data seamlessly is its biggest strength. The separation of compute and storage lets us scale resources independently, which improves performance during heavy reporting workloads. It also integrates smoothly with BI tools like Power BI and Tableau, making it easy to deliver insights quickly without manual data preparation.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Snowflake is highly efficient, query costs can add up quickly if the virtual warehouses aren’t managed properly. Also, real-time data streaming capabilities are still somewhat limited compared to other cloud-native services. A more intuitive cost-monitoring dashboard and tighter integration with streaming platforms like Kafka would make it even more powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake has helped centralize large data sets from multiple sources—HR, finance, and donor systems—into one scalable warehouse. This unified platform allows us to run complex SQL queries, automate reporting, and generate real-time dashboards in Power BI. It also simplified data governance and eliminated storage constraints we had with traditional on-prem databases. Overall, it enables faster data-driven decision-making and supports analytics initiatives without extensive infrastructure management.
Snowflake makes data work easy
What do you like best about the product?
I use snowflake almost everyday to work with big datasets cleaning, querying, and analyzing. What i really like is how easily it connects with tools like tableau and looker for reporting, and even google sheets when someone just. The interface is clean and and easy to use, and bring able to run queries right in the browser makes my work faster. Getting started with it was very straightforward too.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the toughest part with snowflake is keeping costs under control. If a query isn’t optimised just exploring data can get expensive fast since uo’re charged gets processed. Snowflake is that it feels a bit easier to mange costs you only pay for the compute you actually use, and it can auto suspend when not in use. That makes it less stressful to dig into data without constantly worrying about the bill.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake makes working with data so much easier. I don’t have to stress about servers or performance it just scales up when i need it. Even with huge datasets, queries run sper fas, and the best part is how easy it is to share data with others. Instead of wasting time on setup and tuning, i can actually focus on the analysis and insights.
Cloud Data Warehouse That Really Scales!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Snowflake makes managing big data so much easier. The queries run fast even with huge datasets. I can spin up compute resources as needed without waiting for IT. The interface is clean and easy to use and the way it separates storage and compute is really helpful for controlling costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model can be confusing at first. Some of the advanced features need extra learning and the documentation is detailed but not always easy to follow. Occasionally I have to double check query costs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake has solved our slow reporting issues. We used to wait hours for big analytics queries. Now dashboards update quickly and the team can make decisions faster. It also simplifies data sharing across departments which helps collaboration and reduces errors.
Best tool for Data Warehousing
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake takes away the complexity of managing infrastructure and lets us focus purely on data. The separation of storage and compute means multiple teams can run queries without impacting each other’s performance. Its auto-scaling and pay-as-you-go model help control costs, and features like time travel, secure data sharing, and native integrations with BI/ETL tools make it a powerful platform. The ease of use is a huge upside—no database tuning or maintenance overhead required.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Snowflake is extremely powerful, pricing can become tricky to estimate when multiple teams are running large compute-heavy queries, especially without strict governance. The learning curve for cost optimization and warehouse sizing can be steep. Additionally, customer support response times could be faster, and some advanced features may require higher-tier plans.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
