"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The product is easy to learn."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"Its performance speed is very good."
"It is an all-in-one platform that provides the capabilities needed for various analytics tasks, including data warehousing for machine learning."
