Enabling Data integrity at scale
What do you like best about the product?
We are able to store semi-structured (chat messages) data at scale and able to parse them out easily as well on query. At Drift. The data team also looks to store the raw data before we transform and the variant data type in Snowflake is key to ensuring we can parse the data without having to backfill or do major code changes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Clouds Services cost structure in Snowflake billing is a little less transparent and customers would like to know how we get charged or why charges vary for same workloads on different days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Snowflake for a product feature where we serve out customers more intelligence on who visits their website and how many times they visit they visit. This help sales team identify and see who their target accounts are.

Would never go back to another warehouse.
What do you like best about the product?
Separation of storage and compute make it so simple to manage capacity and ensure fast response times for all warehouse workloads. We can have analysts on one warehouse, another warehouse servicing our API, and yet another one to serve up customer dashboards, all working on the same data without affecting the response times of each other.
What do you dislike about the product?
Enterprise account required for clustering, which not only increases the number of credits you will use but also drives up the cost per credit. The community forums are not that active and are a hassle to post to because of needing to have a support account that is different than your regular account. No ability to share data with consumers that have an account in a different region.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexible data warehouse to drive dashboards for our internal teams and customers. Secure data sharing is also a killer feature that is a million times easier than the old way of transferring csv files all around.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sign up with a credit card to try it out, you are only billed for the minutes that you use so it is easy to sample without committing to a big spend. Once you see the utility and power of how it works, you won't go back.
A faster, simpler way
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. The advantage of this environment is that there is minimal administrative work required to support rapid developments and users of all types. Disk provisioning , performance concerns are a thing of the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is largely a CLI environment. Many activities require writing code.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single data source for many applications that scale to meet the demand of dashboard users and data scientists.
Long term Snowflake customer from financial services industry
What do you like best about the product?
Tri-Secret Secure : customer held key ensures that service representatives can not "see" our data.
Dynamic Compute Sizing : we can resize our compute resources (known as snowflake warehouses) to react to needs of the Business or to minimize cost.
Replication : we can replicate entire databases from one region (or cloud) to another easily and very quickly which is important with financial services data.

What do you dislike about the product?
Account Management : while we can see our consumption (compute and storage) online, we don't have access to see our current credit balance and forecasted usage.
Compute Resource Rationalization : we don't have the insight into whether the sizing of our compute resources are appropriate (too large or too small). Sizing becomes more of an art than a science.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've solved the issue of capacity management. Our previous solution required an upgrade to increase compute or storage sizing. Storage is only limited by the size of our budget and we now can resize compute ourselves. The net result is we have consumed much more data at the same price point as our previous solution which makes everyone (Business users, Finance team, and us) very happy.
The best technology choice we have made from long time
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of use, performance
Almost compatible with every other tools : legacy or new Data tools
Almost compatible with every other tools : legacy or new Data tools
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing, we haven't find, so fare, any limitation to the datacloud platform
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
One unique source of truth in the company for IT department and data departement, serving all the business needs
Recommendations to others considering the product:
From our point of view THE best cloud data platform
Revolutionized the Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Separation of storage vs compute and very transparent billing
What do you dislike about the product?
Performance with visualization tools is not the best
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving problems for good access to data and quick onboarding of users
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Go for it. start small because costs can otherwise add up quickly. Don't jump on to big migrations without testing the difficult parts.
Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
It is web-based and is intuitive. There are support forums to use also.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing as it gives me everything I need to be successful with my position.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is great to use with data and see what areas we are succeeding in.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a plan for what you are wanting to do and enjoy the experience.
Great Performance And Ease Of Use
What do you like best about the product?
Its ease of use. The solution feels natural for people that have worked with relational databases before because of its implementation of basic SQL. However, combining structured and semistructured data in a query is extremely simple, and the performance is impressive. You can pull millions of rows in an instant by just setting the correct warehouse size.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is little to dislike about Snowflake. Its performance and ease of use are incredible. However, Snowflake can still be considered a newcomer to the market, so the breadth of solutions that integrate and communicate with Snowflake is somewhat reduced compared to other products (SQL Server, Oracle, Redshift, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to improve the performance of our ETL processes. We had ETLs that ran for close to 15 - 20 hours to move data into the data warehouse. After multiple reviews, we identified that there was little we could do with our ETLs. But moving the DWH to Snowflake was the solution to all our problems.
Snowflake is amazing
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is the easiest cloud data mart I’ve used.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake does not allow you to extend the length of table names - you have to know what you’re looking for
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is allowing me to bring data to decision makers faster.
Great Analytical data warehouse tool
What do you like best about the product?
The Snowflake data warehouse uses a new SQL database engine with a unique architecture designed for the cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
I like this tool, nothing that i can think about. So far so good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is a top cloud data warehousing solution
