A great, scaleable database
What do you like best about the product?
Our organization does not have a constant load on the database. With most solutions, this means that we normally need under powered hardware to save money, or over-sized servers to meet our peak load times. Snowflake's auto scaling and multi-cluster support have been extremely helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The federated login and duo support is buggy at best. We've enforced duo login for our ACCOUNTADMIN roles, but that makes dealing with most IDEs and Tableau a nightmare since they don't support the option to use private keys.
Additionally, the role based security is very hard to manage. We have 80 permission levels spread across 7 data domains. Since a user isn't able to utilize more than one role at a time, we have to then create user specific roles that inherit just their permissions. I would much rather simply assign roles to users and skip the role setting during login.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our biggest problems have been lack of horsepower on our servers. Snowflake has allowed us to scale our infrastructure in a much more cost effective way.

What a Database Should Be.
What do you like best about the product?
The separation of storage and compute can not be understated. It is exceptionally easy to get started and the browser based UI make development easy.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving from AWS Glue and Redshift, to snowflake we save a significant amount of $.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Within one day we were able to fully build our proof of concept with snowflakes trial account. Utilize the time to populate with your own data, and explore "Snowpipe".

Snowflake - nothing like it!!

Clear split between CPU and Storage. Pay as you go option works best. Best part is the no admin overhead like column compression, Primary keys etc. Cloning and Data sharing features are stand out and makes them stand out from other options.

Snowflake is a blackbox and sometimes its hard to figure out why some queries take lot of time. Is it because they are supposed to or if something is wrong. Please work on that

Starting support is great and helpful....but the next steps need a little bit of learning on my part as well as support from snowflake.
