Snowflake is a winner!

I thought it was great. I would definitely recommend to all who are considering it an option. From ease of use to results.

Pros:

I really appreciate the ease of use. In the beginning of my data analyst role, Snowflake was straight forward in understanding

Cons:

The only real issue I had was the data return limits but am not entirely sure if that was a Snowflake issue or company threshold.

Best data cloud for modern data platforms.

It is a great modern Data Cloud / Platform product for teams that don't want to spend time managing infrastructure. The SQL-first approach makes the onboarding time and learning curve for the product very very short.

Functionality

Pros:

Ease of use, reliability, speed of new feature roll-out, general quality of product.

Cons:

Certain use cases are more difficult when it is not part of the "walled garden" approach. Cost can be high if not configured correctly.

Reasons for choosing Snowflake

Mainly ease of use, and SQL as the primary interfacing language. Also support with dbt.

Reasons for switching to Snowflake

Compared to the other SQL-first products in it's class (BQ, Redshift), Snowflake is just a bit more reliable and easy to use.

How snowflake is different from other data warehouses present in the market.

Used for monitoring large amount and data and also use for analysis purposes for taking business decisions for the companies.

Pros:

The best thing is snowflake is a cloud based Warehouse system.and it’s completely based on shares nothing architecture so its gives faster performance during analysis.one more thing i like about this warehouse that the amount of time that you use the main warehouse here for that specific period of time you have to pay other than the warehouse is off for normal queries.particularly in dml statement mainly its uses the warehouse.so its manage automatically weather to use warehouse or not so it is very much good for saving money That’s why now big giants company are shifting towards snowflake for cost effective purposes and the smarter and faster performance it gives.and it also provides a feature call time travel where you can back up your all deleted data in a period of 90 days.

Cons:

There are two things I don’t like about the snowflake is it’s doesn’t support unstructured data loading it’s only support the structure and semi structure data. And other one is it’s only support the bulk loading files so it’s difficult for a small size files loading or adding some few columns on it.

Reasons for switching to Snowflake

Need more faster and cost effective warehouse for managing data and analysing the data that’s why sifted from teradata to snowflake.

Pros:

How it is super easy to store, query and analyze massive data without managing hardware is what I like most about Snowflake. Data sharing and collaboration is another thing that I rank high about Snowflake.

Cons:

Even though the learning curve was a bit steep, I am now used to it and currently there hasn’t been any new feature to customize.

Functionality

Pros:

Snowflake is easy to use and implement. It allows the rest of the company to manage their databases and tables to run reports and dashboards on their processes. Since we integrated it with Sigma Computing, we are able to pull data connections and run analysis pretty easy.

Cons:

It does not provide a clear guide or manual on how to use it for our new hires to read and learn how to navigate it.

Clean, modern interface with scalable analytics

We centralized data control, made ELT easier, and provided stakeholders with trusted dashboards. Query performance improved, and teams make quicker decisions, strong day-to-day value following best practices being established.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

Snowflake speeds up data analysis and collaboration with almost instantaneous scaling, open dashboards, and easy data sharing. The interface is clean, and role-based access ensures sensitive datasets are protected while teams query without tripping over one another.

Cons:

There is ramp-up in cost controls, roles, and warehouses areas. Customer support is instructed but can be behind on more in-depth performance or billing matters, so close governance and monitoring are crucial in the early stages.
