Snowflake is an excellent choice for centralizing data and acting as a database "hub"

Friendly Cloud Data Warehousing
Kommentare: Very good and reliable tool. I am very satisfied.
Vorteile:
Snowflake is easy to use and clear. Maybe the hardest part is to set up Roles and Policies. Overall, I think it is the easiest data warehousing in the market and works very well.
Nachteile:
It is kind of expensive and sometimes I feel I am getting "over billed". With this I mean that some operations take extra computing time that is not really needed or there are hidden costs difficult to track. To know how much money are you spending is difficult and overall I feel like Snowflake does not want you to track billing that much.
Snowflake - Best Cloud database you could get to build data warehouse
Kommentare: I would give my over all rating for this product as 10 on 10 . Coming from ORACLE background I really liked this product . You could avoid the entire database management tasks since its been taken care by the snowflake itself.
Vorteile:
The I/O operation within the database are handled well . Repeated same query results are being cached to avoid I/O operations, which is great!
Nachteile:
The Task functionality can have a separate UI to manage the scheduled tasks . The Web workbook could have been improved with more features.

A great example of a data warehouse solution
Vorteile:
I love how straightforward and performant the solution was
Nachteile:
Data visualisation was a little lacking, meaning you had to tether to a system like Google Data Studio or Sigma/Tableau to make sense of the data

The incredible power of a cloud data platform
Kommentare: We use Snowflake to aggregate hundreds and hundreds of disparate databases across many different clouds and platforms into one single data warehouse allowing us, for the first time, to give customers visibility of all their data across all our products.
Vorteile:
The concept of Snowflake is so clever - mass amounts of micro-partitions of data, with the storage and compute separated. It is a smart product that enables so much functionality and capability. It is more than simply a database in the cloud, it is truly a feature-rich platform that offers a huge amount of functionality. I also very much like that role-based access is a fundamental part of it. Its data sharing features are terrific too.
Nachteile:
Some things are a little tricky to figure out, like row-level policies the first time you do it, or data masking. There are no triggers. Scheduled tasks are a little limited. Stored procedures are not as simple as I'd like.

Snowflake has been a game changer
Kommentare: Snowflake has been a game changer for us. It has enable all kinds of new architectures due to it's fast and low-cost performance. It has eliminated the need for so many maintenance tasks that used to be such a hassle.
Vorteile:
Snowflake is super fast, requires virtually no maintenance (no logs, indexes, tuning, etc.) and the pay per use price model scales perfectly with cyclical workloads which are common in data warehouse applications.
Nachteile:
It does not natively support any real constraints such as uniqueness or referential integrity which requires the user to explicitly check all these things via stored procedures. The SQL worksheet GUI still has remove to improve but they have been rapidly enhancing it. It's not too uncommon to have brief outages but they are usually resolved within a few hours.
A fantastic data warehouse solution that solved all our problems
Kommentare:
I have an amazing experience using Snowflake. It is better than out previous Data Warehouse solution in everything I can think of (besides pricing). We are very satisfied with, and I feel very confident on having it as the backend of all our data needs.
It is also important to notice that we had a very pleasent experience with Snowflake's sales and account managers: they were very helpful and not pushy at all.
Vorteile:
Snowflake is exteremely stable and easy to setup. I was able to turn it on and have a reliable Data Warehouse that didn't require me having a lot of cloud knowledge to administrate. The database administration through the UI is intuitive and the Roles dynamic helps with implementing good data governance and compliance pratics inside the company. Snowflake also offers user security options out of the box, which was a huge improvement for us. The doccumentation is very well written and SnowSQL offest a lot of useful functions. The main improvement on this front was how Snowflake treats JSON, which helped us a lot.
Nachteile:
If your revenue is not on US dollars, Snowflake is an expensive product, there is no way around that. It is indeed a very good service that charges accordingly. We are using the smallest cluster possible and it was necessary to do some convincing inside the company to approve it for our budget. That being said, the smallest cluster we are using is more than enough for our needs and will be for a long time, so it will take a long time for this cost to increase again, but it was a pretty big budget increase initially.

A Promising Solution Marred by Poor Support and Pricing Structure
Kommentare: From the tech support side, some of the engineers did not know the product well. It took several conversations to resolve simple issues.
Vorteile:
The ability to load data in using tools like Alteryx is a major plus. Snowflake also integrated well with our data science platform. The management of users and access was very simple to use and understand.
Nachteile:
Building out incremental loading was difficult and did not save us time in comparison to our incumbent solution. The pricing structure for usage was nebulous. We did not fully understand the pricing model until that renewal period at the end of the year which included fees that were not mentioned during the sales process.
A cloud based Data platform
Vorteile:
Ease to access because of its cloud based platform Roles can be easily assigned
Nachteile:
UI when we scroll to the bottom of the results and go to a different worksheet and come back the page displays the top of the results which is very annoying
Snowflake review
Vorteile:
I really liked the easy use of snowflake as a SQL coder. It made my work very easy and I liked that there were tutorials and suggested corrections.
Nachteile:
I did not like having to switch between different user roles in order to access certain files, but I think this was because of my company.
Snowflake in AIA
Vorteile:
The ease of using this software. It’s very easy and functional for data work. As a beginner of SQL , you can still smoothly use it.
Nachteile:
I don’t have any complaints about this Software
Snowflake: Good tool in the World of Data Warehousing
Vorteile:
The most impressive aspect of Snowflake is its scalability and performance. It's truly built for the cloud, with a unique architecture that separates compute from storage, allowing each to scale independently. This means you can handle massive amounts of data without worrying about infrastructure or performance degradation. The pay-as-you-go model is also a big plus, as it allows for cost-effective data management.
Nachteile:
While Snowflake offers a lot of advantages, it does have a steep learning curve, especially for those not familiar with SQL or cloud-based systems. The documentation, though extensive, can be overwhelming for beginners. Also, while the pay-as-you-go model is generally a plus, it can lead to unexpected costs if not managed properly.
In Betracht gezogene Alternativen:
Snowflake: Modern OLTP DB
Kommentare: Great to have snowflake as out OLTP system. High volume data processing are happening real quick.
Vorteile:
Performance is outstanding. No explicit maintenance is needed. High availability. No need to worry about SQL processing speed, easy scalability.
Nachteile:
Quit expensive while comparing to other database.
Modern warehouse on cloud technology
Kommentare: Overall if I ignore the cost factor, I am very much satisfied with Snowflake and with the features and capabilities it exposes. For a fast growing DataWarehouse, Snowflake is a very good choice as it is secure, robust and scalable.
Vorteile:
Snowflake is very easy to use and can easily connect to different cloud platforms like AWS, GCP and Azure. The fact that it can be hosted on any of these platforms makes it portable and easy to use. The access and security is very flexible and scalable. The fact that storage and compute are separate makes it ideal for use with big data warehouses where usage can be monitored easily and can be charged back ti the appropriate business unit. More and more features are getting added to it which makes it a flexible, scalable data warehouse in cloud.
Nachteile:
The warehouse currently does not support procedural languages and some of the datatypes do not align with some other popular databases which makes it difficult for migration to Snowflake. The cost is little bit on the higher side.

Superior Cloud Warehousing Capability
Kommentare: Snowflake allows us easier access to our data and integration partners are abundant
Vorteile:
Snowflake is an industry leader and has ample connectors to all data sources. They integrate flawlessly with our BI platform and allow for management by a 3rd party. Compute power is FAST and easily scalable.
Nachteile:
Snowflake, like most, has its own dialect for SQL - not necessarily a bad thing but something to adjust to. There is no data cap, so data usage can get expensive.

Great data warehouse software
Vorteile:
Snowflake is being utilized as a data warehousing system based on cans. We're utilizing Snowflake and additional tools like HVR and Dell Boomi to create a data lake. Currently, different business teams are using different systems for reporting and analytics purposes. We're now working on a centralized solution for the entire company.
Nachteile:
Snowflake has its limitation when dealing with unstructured data
Snowflake is a great way to store data
Kommentare: It has been very positive. The primary motivation for the switch is the price and although I wasn't involved in those pricing discussions, it seems that everyone at my company is happy with the price and the value for the price.
Vorteile:
I like that it has a really good interface that is easily accessible. We were using AWS before this and it was really hard to get the connections right. Keeping track of the drivers and everything was really complicated and I never got it to work as seamlessly as Snowflake
Nachteile:
I don't know if there are any data visualizations that I could do in the program. That would be a cool value add. If that feature already exists, then I apologize to Snowflake. Another quirk is that not everything worked in the exact way that I wanted it to. There were some weird syntax things that didn't allow me to directly transfer my AWS queries, I had to go through and change them and there is one query that I still cannot figure out where the translation error is.
Excellent enterprise product for scaled data analytics
Vorteile:
Snowflake Marketplace is well thought out and the data connector fabric is easy to understand and implement
Nachteile:
Initial upfront documentation was a little difficult to navigate but once we got a hang of it, setting up everything else was relatively simple
Skip Redshift, Snowflake scales reliably
Kommentare: Snowflake supports both our analytics (dashboards and ad-hoc queries) and machine learning, including PySpark clusters. Our data scientists have found it a pleasure to work with, with rich analytics query support. The cloud-based technical architecture provides significant advantages over other offerings, including the critical ability to segment usage patterns and scale reliably.
Vorteile:
We switched from Redshift to Snowflake for two primary reasons: 1. Snowflake's virtual warehouses allow scaling reliably, whereas Redshift becomes unstable; 2. First-class JSON support. Having switched to Snowflake, data warehouse administration has gone from nightmare to almost nothing. We continue to scale our data and analytics, and Snowflake handles it easily.
Nachteile:
Snowflake's approach to sales and support is a blend of on-demand cloud offering and enterprise tool. They could improve certain aspects, such as simplifying the set up of Snowpipe to stream data from AWS. But these are minor features involved in initial setup.
Excellent product that did fit very well in your Organization.
Kommentare: An excellent product, quick response time and made life easy by bringing all data under one roof.
Vorteile:
query response time is way quicker compared to any other product.
Nachteile:
I don't see any cons in the product, I like the way it works and gets me the results.
Great product
Vorteile:
I really like the speed and the quality of the Snowflake UI. It is the easiest database tool I have ever used in my career.
Nachteile:
It is costly to use Snowflake so as a company you always have to fight for the value it brings to the company as a whole.
Taking Cloud Data Warehousing To Another Level
Kommentare: I love Snowflake as they have made data warehousing a very easy activity. Having the ability to use SQL to query huge data sets is revolutionary.
Vorteile:
Big Data with Simple SQL - it is amazing how easy this product is to use but still as the horsepower to process billions of rows of data without a sweat. The separation of storage-compute and cloud provider agnostic environment support is the best.
Nachteile:
Snowflake is expensive if used "incorrectly". Users need to be extremely skilled to be able to reduce cost on the platform and use virtual WHs appropriately.
It gets the job done
Vorteile:
Fast and reliable data warehouse. It cost effective and scalable that fits in our business model
Nachteile:
The visualisation feature. Maybe it is still in early stage and still lots of room for improvement
Seamless experience connecting multiple clouds!
Vorteile:
We used Snowflake after multiple attempts with other clouds and to say it was powerful is the least. It connects all data sources and allows to create a solid data warehouse essential for all BI reporting etc.
Nachteile:
Complicated Billing (on purpose?), sometimes waiting for query load can be long and bothersome, could still use UI improvements
Scalable BI platform for everyone
Kommentare: snowflake has been a key business partner for major companies BI solutions and I have great experience learning and using it
Vorteile:
Snowflake had been an integral part of BI solutions and self service BI analytics for the mega clients projects I have worked with.It is seamlessly integrated with other warehouse databases. Storage and compute modules can be separately managed and help users to tune as per requirement
Nachteile:
the cost is little higher compared to other products available in market
Great user friendly cloud DWH but a bit pricy
Vorteile:
User friendly and easy setup for the AZure based setup
Nachteile:
Cost is very high and not transparent for production grade systems
