What is Snowflake?

Snowflake’s cloud data platform supports a multi-cloud strategy, including a cross-cloud approach to mix and match clouds as you see fit.

What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?

Snowflake is a great tool for building server less data lakes. The tool has unique abilities to create and store DB objects, blobs and interfacing layers for building Analytics. The file extracts could be generated and uploaded on to downstream application layers.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The product has a nice interface and clearly defined role categorization. The grants of users to the objects and schemas could be restricted based on the roles. The product allows uses to build any number of objects sequentially or concurrently for building Data Lakes.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The product is not an open source and is licensed with a cost tag. The free version has very limited features that may not suffice the needs of a corporate.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Try to learn all the distinct features of the product. A hands on training from the snowflake webinars would expose a lot of dormant features that may easily be overlooked. A great product to work with.

What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?

Snowflake is a complete SQL data warehouse, built from the ground up for the cloud, its architecture is what differentiates it from other platforms, it offers the flexibility and efficiency that is simply not possible with a traditional data warehouse or a big data platform that is has moved to the cloud.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I like Snowflake it is fast, flexible and simple to use, useful for managing all aspects of authentication, configuration, resource management, data protection, optimization and availability and as a user you just need to register, upload your data and get started to make inquiries.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Honestly Snowflake, it is expensive for a lot of storage.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend Snowflake for managing organization, file size, structure, compression, metadata, statistics, and other aspects of data storage.
