SnowFlake Hands-on Experienced Review
What do you like best about the product?
Third party integration and exporting data is quite simple and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Role Based Access Control sometimes gets messy, and data sharing is expensive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing the data and reusing it in 3rd party application.
Best cloud data warehousing software with data pre processing functionality as well
What do you like best about the product?
I use snowflake mainly for business intelligence and analytics. Its performance and scalability is high end. I can also select more resources for running queries whenever required. And to the top of it is its integration with dashboarding tools which allows seamless representation of data that we have stored in snowflake
What do you dislike about the product?
Felt some glitches with new console (queries sometimes stop when tabs switched) in running queries. Else everything is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving my problem of easily accessing all data from one place and writing high end data pre processing and analysing queries in SQL and python. Finally, integrating and representing the final structured data into different dashboarding tools
Very efficient and user friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use and you can integrate with other applications conveniently.
What do you dislike about the product?
I could not think of any features that I dont like. So far so good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With help of Snowpark packages I can integrate python with SQL and I can implement data science packages. Which is useful for one of my recommendation project.
Scalable and User-Friendly Cloud Data Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to manage very large data sets, straightforward queries and fast performance. Their integration with powerBI which is our preferred reporting tool is very easy to use also. Their design is quite slick and modern. They also take data security very seriously but also allow for cross team collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can take some time to familiarise yourself with snowflake when moving from other platforms and the cost of maintenance can tend to increase over time due to the pay per use model.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use snowflake to manage very large data sets of in-product usage data that help inform business decisions. The speed at which the system can handle complex queries into such a large dataset has saved a lot of time and improved our teams productivity.
We also use it to merge data from multiple sources to provide a more wholisitic 360 degree view of our customers.

Snowflake: A Lifesaver for My Data
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a long time user of Snowflake, my journey has been good. I am not a super techie but when I started using Snowflake the adpatation was easy and smooth. It's very fast and helps pulling up reports. Being a cloud application, managing large servers or anything is easy. Its a great organiser where everything is at one place and sharing with other users or stakeholders is also easy. As a data warehouse it also eliminates the headache of running out of space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the biggest problem I have with Snowflake is figuring out how much it’s going to cost us. You’ve got to keep an eye on how much data you’re using and how often, and it’s easy to go over budget if you’re not careful. Also, it’s not always the easiest to learn for someone who isn’t super technical. It feels like you need to spend some time getting the hang of things, especially if you just want to do basic stuff quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helps us manage all our data in one place without having to worry about setting up big servers or dealing with a lot of tech headaches. Before, we were struggling with slow data processing and reports taking forever to load. Now, with Snowflake, things are way faster and smoother.
Cloud data warehouse deployable on AWS, Azure, or GCP with DBT integration for transformations
What do you like best about the product?
The scale-up and scale-down features in Snowflake,that adjust based on workload, save costs. We can run complex queries on large datasets with minimal tuning. The unload feature is very helpful for downstream teams to easily access data. Snowflake's permission control allows us to grant access only to specific users, maintaining strong security. Zero-copy cloning and time travel are standout features that enhance efficiency and data management.
What do you dislike about the product?
As it's pay per use model someone should continuously monitor the compute usage otherwise it can become expensive. I noticed some issues with concurrencies when running multiple large queries simultaneously.It can intergrate with ETL tools like DBT, Airflow but the native ETL capabilities are less.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we migrated from Oracle to Snowflake, it solved a lot of our problems. With Oracle, scaling up our data was difficult and expensive because it required more hardware. Snowflake, helped us scale up and down easily. Also, queries that took a long time in Oracle now run much faster in Snowflake, especially when we're dealing with big datasets. Another big thing is that we can easily handle semi-structured data like JSON, which was much harder to work with in Oracle. Overall, Snowflake has made our data management much smoother and more efficient.
