Amazing solution and great company to work with
What do you like best about the product?
The technology works exactly as described and has been a game changer for us. All of the people that we work with are very customer focused and want to make things work exceptionally well
What do you dislike about the product?
There have been a few outages and we've also encountered some bugs. All of this is par for the course, but of course, we would like to try to minimize and avoid this whereever possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Flexibility, scale and predictability. Since moving to snowflake, we've been able to accelerate the speed of development and analysis. We have far superior capabilities through data sharing, the intuitive web interface and have been able to minimize much of our administrative overhead that we had with our previous solution
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Snowflake has been a game changer in our organization. It addresses so many of the challenges that many traditional solutions have and provides incredible flexibility that will enable a multitude of use-cases. I would strongly suggest that this be one of the top initiatives that you consider and drive.

Snowflake for Big data
What do you like best about the product?
The easy to increase performance power, the separation of database and warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
The setup process of snowpipe because it is not easy and confusion. I like copy command setting up process, it is straightforward and easy to maintain
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The SQL Server cannot handle of amount of financial data we have to process on regular basis.
Just works
What do you like best about the product?
No maintenance required, good query performance, good SQL support and features, super easy to scale, reliable so far. Data cloning and sharing is unique and awesome and fits our use case perfectly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some bugs in the Python connector, some query errors for complex queries, can get pricy if high concurrency is required. Permission management differs from MySQL. We only had a single service outage so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a data warehouse on Snowflake, we have eliminated database maintenance costs and greatly reduced TCO. Query performance has greatly improved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a try, rely on the community.
The new generation Big Data Platform
What do you like best about the product?
The performance, its support for semi-structured data and the Acid back-bone. It is like having Hadoop with Transactions and fine role-base security. Data Sharing is also new to the database world. We can now share any data with our Clients without additional burden.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be nice to be able to self-manage the fail-safe. For instance tables from the fail-safe should be removed explicitely so no storage is vasted.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Big Data Healthcare Analytics
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Lean how to monitor and handle the costs. You need to do that actively as the easy to use and its flexibility can increase costs quite rapidly.
Performant, Secure, and Scalable Cloud-based Data Warehouse
What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is easy to set up and use. It provides a lot of flexibility in terms of performance and cost efficiency by its ability to scale clusters up and down in an instant. Snowflake's best feature though, in my opinion, has to be "time travel". Time travel is a concept of deriving data from any given point in time. Snowflake also has a "share" functionality, which allows us to share data across the company with ease. Snowflake's capability to clone has also helped us in our testing efforts.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's not much to be said here. Snowflake was one of the most flexible and scalable warehouse options we found in the market when researching for a cloud-based data warehouse.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake allowed us to centralize most (if not all) of our data sources into a theoretical single space, which made reporting to our clients easier. Snowflake allows us to easily join data across various data sources within one single space.
Fast and scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Speed of query and ease of use of the web UI. Dialect similar to Redshift so easy to adopt.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tough to organise and share queries between users - some SQL commands are non-intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Scale across locations, easy to replicate
Recommendations to others considering the product:
N/A
Delivers on everything promised
What do you like best about the product?
The snapshot capabilities. The ability to take snapshots quickly so that we can work with a copy of the data
What do you dislike about the product?
The security model can be a bit tedious.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is helping us to scale our data business in a cost efficient manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need the ability to scale up and down quickly, then this is your solution.
Perfect Data Warehouse in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
JSON support is amazing. While other engines support JSON format for data types, snowflake does it with performance. It is a breeze to query data stored as JSON because of underlying columnar storage that JSON gets converted to. We also like how easy it is to add additional compute nodes when needed. This was a pain point with some other vendors. With a push of a button (or a simple script) you can add additional compute power. When the demand subsides, you can turnd those off.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. It's on the pricier end of things. Between Azure Data Warehouse and AWS Redshift, Snowflake was significantly more expensive even with auto shut off feature enabled. But it seems that some of those costs can be written off due to simplicity of set up and maintenance that would typically go to DBA resource.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were in need of a modern, cloud and scalable data warehouse. We have a lot of data that's pretty structured for the most part, and we were looking for a product that can provide quick reads on analytic loads.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Getting data into snowflake is slightly different from some other ETL processes that you may have encountered. Mind that piece when evaluating.
Great scaleable service, just some smaller company kinks to iron out
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of scaling, access to support, how the service is always getting better
What do you dislike about the product?
Unexpected downtime, was tough to get status updates on these downtimes - that has been getting better generally
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Larger scale processing, ease of scaling up when volumes get too high.

What do you like best about the product?
first: the fast compute and unlimited storage . second: the connection to AWS S3. third the snow piple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Query GUI, it will be nice to have all the features like the generic query analyzer , example: DB VISUAL
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
