Snowflake is a robust data lake/warehousing solution

  • March 07, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I stepped into a role where I was not informed I needed to use a database/warehouse. I spent 7+ years writing SQL for Teradata data warehouses so I wasn't new, but suddenly I had to code in a new platform.

I found that the editor remembered my code I had last run, the error messages were helpful, the line-numbering structure was effective. I could quickly edit pre-written SQL pieces, debug them and correct them without any trainings or "Snowflake specific" guidance
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is easily reached via a browser, but that ease can be deceptive. DBA's can lock out sections of the database from users (Which is good) but then individuals jumping on can believe that the data doesn't exist, almost to a militant level. Something about the ease of access makes them feel like they know everything about the database.

It's not a terrible negative, but having to explain over and over that "there is more, but you don't have access" was a difficult challenge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We, as a company, built silos into the very structure of the business. So many MySql instances "running on someone's hard drive". We bought companies as a way to increase our market share and they came with their own data warehousing solutions.

Snowflake became THE repository for all the data. Getting a new company's data in was quick, easy and made it reachable for everyone. It helped to break down silos.

Best DWH Software Available in the market

  • March 07, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake's architecture is designed to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand, making it a great choice for businesses that experience fluctuating data volumes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake can be relatively expensive, particularly for smaller businesses or those with lower data volumes. The pricing model can also be complex, with charges for storage, compute usage, and data transfer.

DWH to empower Business Intelligence and Analytics Solutions for mid to large enterprises.

Powerful tool to analyze the data

  • March 03, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Integration with lacework allows me to consume lacework data in a better way. Better than lacework CLI and Lacework LQL
What do you dislike about the product?
No option to analyse an object or entity. Entity is a json object and the way it is displayed in the output is not helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With a ton of data flowing in, we plan to integrate Hunters with snowflake to derive threat intelligence. Snowflake is that one place where all the data is collected.

Snowflake and it's integration with other tools like Clari, Salesforce & Tableau

  • March 01, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is a DB , where I can have all the relevant data in the form of tables at one place, and it not only allows me to write SQL in an efficient way to analyze data, but it has additional features like - intelligent suggestion, saving queries as worksheets, which I like the most. On top of that it's easy to integrate tools like salesforce, tableau and clari with it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though it's one of the best RDBMS out there, but it doesn't allow to have code blocks in single worksheet, and hence if I'm having 2 or more SQL statements in same worksheet, and I've to run one of them, I have to select whole query and press run, if we would have option to have code blocks, it would be more easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is one stop solution to store and analyze the data. If one is good with SQL, then snowflake allows us to get deep insights for sales and marketing performance of the organization.

Snowflake rocks

  • February 28, 2023
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It pulls information that is not always available in other systems like Mode/Sigma and Tableau. I trust the data from Snowflake more than most, and I like to use it because I know that the information is what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Getting the data you are trying to research can take an incredibly long time. I have often given up after 20 minutes of waiting for data to pull and moved on to another system because I don't have all the time in the world.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helps us get information about our merchants, including the stores they are tied to and the transaction history in a given time frame.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed a tool to process our data in near real-time and be able to analyze data and create insights.
