Lightning Fast & instantly Scalable Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is best for unpredictable workloads or sudden spikes in user queries.
1. Since Compute & storage are decoupled, queries don't get queued for resources.
2. Another killing feature is it has Auto Pause & auto suspend modes which stops consuming credits when no queries are running.
3. Snowflake is an apparent winner compared to AWS Redshift when it comes to maintenance. Almost zero admin tasks everything is taken care of for you. You can either change a warehouse’s size or increase the number of clusters with almost zero downtime seamlessly.
4. As already mentioned it is best in the situations where you get temporary high workloads, so you can increase the compute capacity without increasing storage.
5. Built-in support for Semistructured data like JSON is worth mentioning.
6. Lift & shift from On-prem Relational DW to Snowflake is easy compared to other cloud warehouses.

What do you dislike about the product?
Complicated Billing. Snowflake’s On-Demand pricing model can be enticing initially, but it can be very unpredictable in the long run, and its cost increases as you go higher. As compared to Snowflake, Redshift has a simple pricing structure based on redshift clusters. Redshift also offers Reserved Instance Pricing, which allows you to unlock 75 percent savings which was the primary driver for switching from Snowflake to ASW redshift for one of our customers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Perfect cloud database and warehousing tool
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has enabled the team to achieve new goals when it comes to data warehousing and querying data to draw insights. It has an easy-to-use and accessible interface.
Before switching to Snowflake, getting connections and data sanity was a challenge. Its pay per use model allows the optimise allocation and budgets and helps plan better.
It uses standard SQL which is used by most of the team members beforehand and documentation is readily available.

What do you dislike about the product?
While logging in using the single sign-on, sometimes it takes a high loading time to log in. Navigating across the previous ran queries under the history tab is a bit cumbersome. Not that great at managing unstructured data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake has helped the analyst team to get more efficient at storing as well as querying data. It is pretty easy to use and has a very small learning curve. It allows managing roles at different levels to allow customised data access to the wide userbase.
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.

Snowflake can be based on any of the three major cloud service providers namely GCP, Azure and AWS. So it is easy for organizations to stick to their preferred CSP and avail Snowflake services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably a graphical user interface for developers who want to do data modeling in the Snowflake environment.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is giving a very robust cloud-based data warehousing solution with all the benefits of going to the cloud. Data sharing is one critical area in data management and SNowflake's innovative way of sharing data without physically moving it as a great feature.
Great DB tech with evolving tooling for enterprise use
What do you like best about the product?
The flexibility in performance is pretty remarkable. Good third-party support. Good SQL improvements.
