Snowflake Cloud Data warehouse ,Delta lake with cloud agnostic in nature.

  • October 11, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
No need to setup the infrastructure, With just 3-4 clicks, you get the account in your Cloud and get $400 credit for next 60 days. This enables all the functionality and we play with any functionality on this trial version.
Native support for loading semistructured data
Data is automatically encrypted at rest and in transit
Automatic partitioning and Clustering and compression
Automatic versioning, Time Travel, and Fail-Safe
Provides Cross Cloud replication
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is still in the very early phase of supporting the Delta table functionality. Moreover in Replication, we are supposed to replicate one Database at a time, But what if we have multiple databases in Account we need to replicate each and every Database manually. Account level replication should be there. Also Snowpipe is there but near real-time , waiting for snow pipe streaming.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Working closely with Business stakeholders and drawing from our strong Expertise in Snowflake, we defined our focus, determined the data migration strategy and advised Snowflake as Cloud Warehouse because of the following benefits:
Scalable Storage layer: Store data such as Amazon S3 bucket. This ensures data scaling, and availability without any management by customers.
Automated Zero Administration: Snowflake supports Auto-Scaling, Auto-Suspend, Sharing, query management, optimization, security automatically.
Lower Cost: Snowflake works on Pay Per Use model. Pricing depends on the amount of data stored and the compute hours used.
High availability: Replicating the data across three availability zones in the event of node failures.
Query resiliency: If a single compute instance fails within a virtual warehouse, Snowflake automatically replaces that instance and completes the query without disruption

"Data storing tool that is quick and effective".

  • October 02, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake gives us the ability to work across multiple tabs and queries.
Cloud-based data storage
It uses standard SQL, which is great because we don't have to learn a new language.
It provides great ease of access to different levels of users throughout the organization.
Easy to execute certain queries by highlighting certain parts of the code.
Data security and governance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Limitation with unstructured data.
Complicated billing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data engineering, data science, data lakes, data warehousing, data application development, and data sharing solutions all in one place.
Snowflake provides a seamless, unified experience across many public clouds wherever data or users reside.
Compared to alternative cloud stores, going from an on-premises relational DW to Snowflake is simple.

Snowflake : The best data warehouse solution

  • October 01, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The easy and quick away to change the compute power for your SQL queries. I don't think there is anything like this on the market. Unlimitted storage makes Snowflake THE data lake on the market.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new query interface. I'm not sure what Snowflake was thinking here. I always go back to the original UI. The new one is way too confusing. New features are not always well communicated. I wish there were a page in the account where we can get a summary of new elements and which one is available and active for the current account.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building Data Warehouse solution. We use Fivetran and Airbyte for data integration to bring any data source to Snowflake. We then build a dimensional model to transform data and provide our clients with faster BI reporting capability. We then use DBT to automate the data transformation and implement our dimensional models.

Consolidate your data sources

  • September 21, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake has allowed us to consolidate multiple data sources like application databases, product analytics, decision models etc., into one repository. The fetching of report becomes easy and does not strain our master setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing in particular. Works like a charm for our use cases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The single reference point for all data access. Snowflake has solved this problem and given us the ability to generate exhaustive reports without the hassle of downloading multiple reports and then stiching them

Snowflake is all you need for a database

  • September 03, 2022
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
My organisation consumes Snowflake as the leading service for storing and analysing data points collected from customers and clients. It provides a spotless and straightforward user interface. The ability to work on multiple tabs and queries is wholesome. It also supports different databases users need to select for querying the data point. It also has a separate canvas showing the status of query progress and SQL tree structure of the query with the amount of time each operation takes. Once the query is completed, it provides a download button to save the result. They recently introduced Snowflake Lite, which is also easy to use and valuable.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't include the feature to run multiple queries from a canvas. Sometimes the queries take longer than usual, and waiting is painful without a progress bar. There is no historical version of the canvas where the queries are written, so once it is lost, it is gone forever. There is no autocomplete feature support for table names or SQL syntax.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Snowflake to store the data points collected via pipeline from customer clients to the prod database. We use two different versions of Snowflake; one is for developer testing, and another is for the production database. I can filter data points through SQL queries based on dates, types, strings, etc on the Snowflake. The SQL tree is helpful to optimise the queries as it provides a breakdown of each component consuming resources and time.

Awesome data warehouse tool with pretty good UI and decent python API

  • August 31, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowsight, the new snowflake browser UI, is set up well for quickly drafting queries and has some helpful, albeit basic, visualization tools built in. The python connector API is pretty good too.
What do you dislike about the product?
A couple of irregularities in setting up the python connector on M1 macs, and some minor bugs in the snowsight ui (forgiveable since it's still pre-release IIUC)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Drafting queries to pull data for our models, sharing data, data warehousing, and row-level security. It's an essential part of our organization's data engineering pipelines. Visualization tools allow for quickly sharing some high level summaries of our data.

Governance is really straight forward and queries run very fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive. No transparency on specs of warehouses.

We are able (for the most part) to execute our queries very quickly and organize them well.

Snowflake best datawarehouse

  • August 09, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake is very modern cloud data warehouse which reduces the complexity of designing Analytical data solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake doesn't allow to share a database from one snowflake account to other account which has different cloud vendor and located at different region.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to design the data warehouse as per our business requirement and that too in very much feasible way and with many other features.
