No data silos with snowflakes
What do you like best about the product?
With snowflakes there's always encryption-on with data in rest and days in transit. It is one of the best platforms to ensure data security while aiding unification of data from data warehouses and data lakes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Higher costs when compared to its competitors. Also, the performance optimization alerts and notifications are way lesser compared to other cloud data warehouses.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our data team uses snowflake platform for offloading ETL. We are using it to store unstructed data. Snowflake offers high speed querying which is the best advantage of the platform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go with it because it is far better than the other in-built warehousing services the cloud providers offer.
Snowflake is an amazing serverless tool for Datalake creation and analytics.
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake access is an easy process overall. The objects/tables creation DDL is much similar to a SQL server/MySQL syntax. Any number of tables with any number of elements could be created in your snowflake workspace. The analytical queries could be executed on top of the snowflake in a very efficient and smooth fashion with tremendous performance throughput. The flexibility of datatypes and having the string representation of any type of element is the most conducive flexibility of snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake queries and structure need some training to get acquainted with. The extract process has special syntax that needs separate skill.
Some of the table constructs in snowflake could be complex in nature. Different role exerts different restrictions on the table objects and not every user will have access to all the tables in snowflake.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake enabled my organization to create several tables under several subject areas. The tables created are interlinked with many common elements and act as a chained data lake. The series of objects on a holistic basis represent the business entities associated with the lake.
Any new and subsequently identified objects are easily appended to the snowflake workspace. The population of these tables could be accomplished easily via multiple data load strategies. Different types of file format like json, csv and many others are supported for data load within snowflake. The file to be loaded could be either uncompressed or compressed.
The schema definition classifies the list of objects in a subject area. Role definition and grants assigned to the role provide the necessary security needed for the table's accesses and unauthorized restrictions. The user needs to necessarily specify the schema along with the table name in order to access and query a table successfully.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good serveless datalake tool to consider for your bigdata/DBMS needed.
Super fast and easy
What do you like best about the product?
i like snowflake sql syntaxes (10x better than MYSQL) and the query speed. Storage is also super cheap since they charge by compute usage like a utility bill. Its not laggy and i can share my sql sheets easily with others
What do you dislike about the product?
I do not like the UI experience for users, I end up using pycharm or dbeaver and connect to snowflake to write my sql queries. yes, the new snowsights is better than the classic console, but it also took away some of the things I enjoy about classic console. I like the ability to access the accounts (admin related stuff) / datawarehouses pages on the same sql page
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
query speed. customers are happy with the results returned compared to some competitor tools...
Cloud based data warehousing tool with Analytics services
What do you like best about the product?
Performance of the tool, you can perform complex logic calculations on huge volume of data very quickly. At any point of time, you can add/remove servers to increase the performance. Easy to learn and deployment of code.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have not encountered any drawbacks so far with this tool. The only challenge that we see is direct connectivity with the sources. For example, to pull data from SAP, you need to use a replication tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a centralized database in our organization for reporting purposes. As of now, we have multiple systems which are not synched with each other. We are bringing data from all of them in snowflake then transforming data as per business need for reporting.
The Ultimate Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Storage and compute power are separated so you can scale and manage performance levels as necessary. Integrates well with Tableau and Matillion ETL to form a robust software stack.
What do you dislike about the product?
Whilst the different user roles help control permissions, it is easy to accidentally run an operation with the wrong one. New features are incrementally rolled out but would be nice to see the time-travel feature work over longer periods.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We wanted to build a data warehouse in the cloud but outside of the company's network. This solution allows us to easily open up our data to clients as well as access external data sources.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Would highly recommend going on the paid courses before setting anything up. These will prove invaluable in avoiding costly errors on setup and longer term.
Great SQL alternative but sometimes not user-friendly
What do you like best about the product?
I like that you only pay for what you use and it makes it easier for people starting their own businesses to have a reliable database without having to buy and pay for a server.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not very user-friendly. It's hard to find table names and key words (like no autocorrect options). I also don't like not being able to use keyboard shortcuts like ctr+e and ctrl+H
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster querying and ease to get data since the amount of data increased tremendously in my workplace and using sql server made things simply unmanageable. So a cloud-based solution was a great solution
Good Data warehousing tool and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Data pulling and querying is very good and it also can be connected to different other tools like tableau and python for the visualization and the analysis of the data. A very user friendly interface which does not take long to get used to it. I like that it's very fast and efficient.
What do you dislike about the product?
Does not allow the user to use up the whole space for query writing and sql auto formatting is also not available. It would be great if the top menu ribbon can be minimized
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a data analyst, I use snowflake for pulling the data and analyzing it. Being a cloud managed tool, huge data can be accessed on the go without any need of in house data warehouse
Be able to scale your database with ease
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite feature of Snowflake is the ability to scale production with ease. In addition, the query editor (worksheets) is a fantastic tool that enables users to interact with the database.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike about the product other than the ambiguity involved with the pricing. In addition, host information was slightly tricky to find.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quickly scale our database at different times of the day. In addition, it's easy to set up new schemas, and perform CRUD operations.
Snowflake review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to scale warehouses according to business needs.
The ease with which views and connectors can be built.
Great community support.

Great community support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake doesn't have a native offering with cloud providers like Google, aws or azure.
Bulk loading is a bit difficult.
The next generation of data is going to be unstructured and semi structured. Snowflake must look into this domain as it currently does not offer much in this niche
