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. With a common and interchangeable code base, Snowflake delivers advantages such as global data replication, which means you can move your data to any cloud in any region, without having to re-code your applications or learn new skills.

Scalable big data and integration for any business

Likeliness to Recommend

10 /10

What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?

Snowflake provides web-based easy management tools and big data capability that is unparalleled in the industry. The competitors I have seen have extremely complicated setups that require a lot of training. My team had a couple hours of training, and we were off and running and have built an entire BI and Analytics team around the product.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The truly scalable nature of the product allows any size organization to get access to industry-leading technology at a scaled price. My company is a fairly small higher education institution, and because we only pay for what we use, we are able to get the absolute best database platform without having huge licensing fees or hardware/software infrastructure.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We are on the east coast, and Snowflake releases all of the update to the west cost LONG before the east coast can have access. It's sometimes months before we can use new features that others can use.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

You should absolutely proceed. It's very easy to set up an account and just try it for little or no cost. If you know any SQL at all, you can be up and running very quickly.

Pros

  • Helps Innovate
  • Continually Improving Product
  • Reliable
  • Enables Productivity

Cons

  • Vendor Friendly Policies
  • Less Efficient Service
  • Security Frustrates
