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. Snowflake is available globally on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform.

Easy to set up, and constantly innovating.

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?

Snowflake is multi-cloud, so you are not locked into any individual provider. They provide better ANSI SQL support than any other solution (including Redshift and Spark). They integrate well with other big data products (we used Snowflake in conjunction with Spark). Snowflake is moving in the real-time direction (as seen by features like Snow Pipe and the Kafka connector), and is just doing a great job at keeping up (and staying ahead) of the market in general.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

We only paid for what we used, as opposed to paying for a constantly-running Redshift cluster. We were a small shop, so price was crucial to us, and Snowflake came out on top in our PoVs.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Their UI was not the best when I worked with them, but they have since acquired a UI company.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Be sure to take the time to understand the pricing model (warehouse sizes, minimum warehouse runtime, price for storage, etc.) so you don't get caught off guard.
