Snowflake: A Lifesaver for My Data
What do you like best about the product?
I have been a long time user of Snowflake, my journey has been good. I am not a super techie but when I started using Snowflake the adpatation was easy and smooth. It's very fast and helps pulling up reports. Being a cloud application, managing large servers or anything is easy. Its a great organiser where everything is at one place and sharing with other users or stakeholders is also easy. As a data warehouse it also eliminates the headache of running out of space.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, the biggest problem I have with Snowflake is figuring out how much it’s going to cost us. You’ve got to keep an eye on how much data you’re using and how often, and it’s easy to go over budget if you’re not careful. Also, it’s not always the easiest to learn for someone who isn’t super technical. It feels like you need to spend some time getting the hang of things, especially if you just want to do basic stuff quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake helps us manage all our data in one place without having to worry about setting up big servers or dealing with a lot of tech headaches. Before, we were struggling with slow data processing and reports taking forever to load. Now, with Snowflake, things are way faster and smoother.
Cloud data warehouse deployable on AWS, Azure, or GCP with DBT integration for transformations
What do you like best about the product?
The scale-up and scale-down features in Snowflake,that adjust based on workload, save costs. We can run complex queries on large datasets with minimal tuning. The unload feature is very helpful for downstream teams to easily access data. Snowflake's permission control allows us to grant access only to specific users, maintaining strong security. Zero-copy cloning and time travel are standout features that enhance efficiency and data management.
What do you dislike about the product?
As it's pay per use model someone should continuously monitor the compute usage otherwise it can become expensive. I noticed some issues with concurrencies when running multiple large queries simultaneously.It can intergrate with ETL tools like DBT, Airflow but the native ETL capabilities are less.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we migrated from Oracle to Snowflake, it solved a lot of our problems. With Oracle, scaling up our data was difficult and expensive because it required more hardware. Snowflake, helped us scale up and down easily. Also, queries that took a long time in Oracle now run much faster in Snowflake, especially when we're dealing with big datasets. Another big thing is that we can easily handle semi-structured data like JSON, which was much harder to work with in Oracle. Overall, Snowflake has made our data management much smoother and more efficient.
Snowflake is like a lifeline for a Data Engineer
What do you like best about the product?
Snowlake UI is very friendly and easy to use. Snowflake provides many features such as auto scaling, time travel etc which are managed by Snowflake only and Data Engineers do not need to worry about it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Snowflake is self managed so we don't have much control on it and somtimes cost can be very high if edge cases are not handled properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Snowflake is completey self managed platform means we don't need to setup anything to run our workload thus it saves time and money

1. Compute cost is bit pricey compared to competition.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For various organizations integrating data from various sources, unifying the data and extracting actionable insights is bit complicated process, if you don't have the right set of tools and people leading these intiatives it becomes lengthy and unjustifiable in the long run.

Great Data Warehouse for all enterprise sizes

Snowflake is able to connect to a vast array of data sources and is generally compatible with most software products & vendors that your company utilizes. It's a great product and is very easy to use after getting ramped up. Their customer support is available to answer questions on demand and they generally get back to you rather quickly with solutions.

The only item previously that was frustrating was the lack of tables populating when writing queries, but they have since fixed & implemented that feature.
