Extremely versatile cloud-based data warehouse product
What do you like best about the product?
Provides very fast update and query performance for a reasonable cost. Cloud-based deployment keeps database management to an absolute minimum.
What do you dislike about the product?
Still not as mature as some other RDBMS products but is rapidly developing functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are implementing near real-time data warehousing, bringing insights to users far faster than before.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just start -- easy to deploy so get started with a proof-of-concept project that can easily be developed into a live system.

Love Snowflake Customer Experience
What do you like best about the product?
I love that t he CX team is so prompt and efficient
What do you dislike about the product?
Its a little complicated to use. I would love a video tutorial
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it as a data warehouse
Snowflake is Snowballing
What do you like best about the product?
1) Speed (single execution) - everything is ridiculously fast. I'm no longer restrained by what I can do because of speed constraints found on other systems.
2) Storage - super cheap storage is huge for me as a developer. My job is so much easier when I can log and save more data.

What do you dislike about the product?
1) latency between executions. We execute a lot of statements at once, but the throughput of those statements is slow. It would help if we could submit multiple statements in a batch.
2) Need real stored procedures... the current development preview of procedures is disappointing. I would not call them "procedures". I would call them "internal APIs". Looping in the current procedure just submits SQL statements that have the same latency problems as item 1. Makes them pretty much unusable for row by row processing of many rows in a loop (which is the only REAL reason you should ever have to use looping in a SQL language). We have two situations for looping at speed row by row for thousands of rows... row by row processing of data where some rows could have an error, while others do not. The other is just super complicated calculations that just are more maintainable in a loop (lead and lag functions might make it possible, but more difficult to maintain).
3) support has gone down hill since the early days... we are now getting responses from front line support with responses that are not helpful at all. We always have to get to 2nd tier support before we are helped at all. Front line support just responds with stuff that we already know that doesn't help us at all.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Reporting on a decent size data warehouse that isn't perfectly optimized. Reports that were taking 50 minutes in the past on old systems, take minutes with Snowflake with data structure changes.
2) Transactional processing - We are recently using Snowflake for a "middle layer" of integrating between multiple systems. We use snowflake to keep track of many jobs that are sending and receiving data between many systems.

Amazing. Snowflake has made my life so much easier
What do you like best about the product?
fastness of queries. Easy to understand interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
when you update a table from a view without a piece of code in it you have to regrant access
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
fast reporting for the company. This environment is way better than what we have had before
Easy maintenance, high performing, needs procedural support
What do you like best about the product?
It's faster and easier to go to production with snowflake than any other data warehouse. Performance and scalability are superior without needing to spend time on design.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support for stored procedures is a good to have for ETL.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Snowflake to store all of our BI data.
Fast and flexible
What do you like best about the product?
It's fast and allows us to pay more efficiently for our needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! It works great and meets all our needs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Backend data warehouse
Faster performance
What do you like best about the product?
The parallel processing of queries and throughput of the query
What do you dislike about the product?
Not support dynamic query executions in snowflake
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Faster datload. Completed dev dataload early in the day helped reporting team to petovide reports business as day starts
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate it as per your need first. Snowflake can be connected to
snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
integrated to AWS and low maintenance from client side.
performance

What do you dislike about the product?
when I search on google, not much information I can get from snowflake questions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
warehouse, report
Fast, Affordable, Scalable
What do you like best about the product?
Beats Redshift in performance and cost. The in-time snapshot to roll back data to a previous state is also pretty incredible. The data storage costs is very low in comparison to Redshift and the computational speed far exceeds what Redshift can handle. DUO push as a two step authentication is a bonus.
What do you dislike about the product?
Extra fees for security and vpc. Not really a big fan of paying roughly 30-50% more for AWS VPC routing.
Also there might be a need for more support hours since databases can be used 24/7 downtime can occur anytime. During a regional, but not national Holiday, most of the company was out and there wasn't any method to contact support team besides leaving a phone number and waiting it out.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data Analysis, Big Data. Parallel queries.
Reaped benefits in roughly 1/3 the cost of Redshift and in significantly improved query times.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Better support hours. During one of the regional but not national US holidays it was hard to reach anyone for support. Wondering if there are better support pricing plans.
Also would be nice to not have to pay significantly more for AWS security integration features. All in all, it still beats out Redshift by miles.

versatile, so much more than storage
What do you like best about the product?
programmatic interface, and generic sql ability
What do you dislike about the product?
lack of indexing as in traditional RDBMS systems
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
big data storage, and large query execution in very efficient manner.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Must give it a try when coming from traditional RDBMS systems
