great cloud data warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
snowflake is great and it is a very popular tool for data warehouse building in the cloud it lets you import tons of data instantly
What do you dislike about the product?
it is a little bit expensive and it takes awhile to set up
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
build data warehouse in the cloud with very little investment
Great cloud data warehouse solution
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to set up and it is very flexible with data. You can store anything.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes refresh failes, although there are ways to control it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data processing and data storage, we were using excel spreadsheets for everything, and snowflake changed our luves, now we can even process big amounts of data in seconds.
Snowflake Solves problems
What do you like best about the product?
I like that compute and storage are separate and i can scale up my compute. That writes do not block reads.
What do you dislike about the product?
The architecture is not good for web speed apps. There is too much latency per call.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lots of problems. We are basing our customer facing flagship product on it and we are using it internally for many uses.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do a proof of concept.
Unlike any other database
What do you like best about the product?
The features which are utterly unique, like time travel, zero copy cloning and separate costs for storage and compute. Snowflake is especially controllable - I can create data warehouses for specific purposes and groups of users or processes, and determine when they're available - all on the basis that the cost relates to the value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is still new. There are some features which would be useful around metadata management for data analysts, and other functions which other databases have. But I'm sure these are on the roadmap and will come in time - probably sooner than I expect!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To become more customer centric, to improve the efficiency of business operations, and to make it easier to comply with regulations. All of these can be achieved more effectively, faster and at a cost that more directly reflects the benefits achieved, than with other databases I've come to know.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You must take a look at Snowflake. It represents a massive and significant step-change in what's otherwise been a very staid area of computing.
Simple to use datawarehouse solution for extremely large data
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake can handle the extremely large data -- on the order of thousands of TB -- that we have, and provide us with rapid results.
What do you dislike about the product?
Poor documentation -- although clustering is Snowflake's killer feature, figuring out why, after calling 'alter table recluster' on a table, that table is only .001% more clustered than before is painful. It's not clear why you wouldn't just sort the table on insert instead of calling recluster, since recluster on a static dataset incurs the penalty of insertion twice. Not much documentation about how data will be loaded, just vague statements from their tech team that "if your data is naturally clustered, Snowflake will recognize that." Well..... explain what you mean, please.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Primarily we have been using Snowflake to run adhoc reports on the behalf of clients. We would not be able to do so on nearly any other data warehouse system.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's easy to use but pretty expensive and can be a little bit opaque to figure out.
Snowflake for storing and accessing analytics data
What do you like best about the product?
Compute vs store split, UI interface is generally good with some small issues
What do you dislike about the product?
Query history interface, query history limitations, notifications about service disruptions/changes could be clearer
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all the analytics data in one managed service, easy scale-up when needed
great product
What do you like best about the product?
The performance is incredible. Queries that took hours to run on MySQL run in seconds.
What do you dislike about the product?
The online interface is clunky. Having a desktop app would be ideal.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're moving over long running batch processes that used to run on MySQL. The run-time has been improved from hours to minutes.
Blazing fast and cheaper DataWarehouse and iOT platform
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has ease of implementation, with no maintenance and has massive scalability. The storage cost is minimal. Horizontal and vertical scalability without any downtime. Elasticity of usage. The only database on the market that is truely built for cloud. Native support of Semi structured data
What do you dislike about the product?
MFA needs to be supported through any tool.Operational dashboard is needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise Data Warehouse and Device data at scale. Minimal management roles like DBA and sysadmin. Focus on business enablement and real time data access. Advanced analytics enablement.
A data warehouse platform for the SaaS generation
What do you like best about the product?
Low maintenance. No more downtimes! No rebalances. Full control over compute resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest gripe is privileges are not rules based. You have to re-grant permissions on objects you recreate. Not a big deal once you're steady state, but annoying in a collaboration development phase.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Enterprise data warehouse. Single source of truth without limitations on data structure or size. Devs are amazed we can consume their JSON straight from S3 and turn it into reports so quickly.
