Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and others in Cloud Data Warehouse."Firebolt is fast for analytical purposes. For example, we have analytical data in our data warehouse, and Firebolt can quickly query it to generate quick results."
"Scaling is very high – there's no problem for scaling purposes. The learning curve is very small. And there are a lot of advanced features like handling duplicates, security, data governance, data sharing, and data cloning."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"The performance has been good."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"Considering everything I have accessed, the product's dashboard is good since it provides multiple good options, including customization options."
"It's not necessary to use a physical server."
"The solution auto-scales and it provides concurrency."
"Deployment is straightforward as it's a SaaS product. No maintenance required."
"Firebolt's engine takes a long time to start because it needs to make engine calls."
"Snowflake should include a WHERE clause for building data pipelines."
"The tool should support EIM use cases. I guess the product is already working on it. I look forward to seeing inbuilt AI generative tools in the solution's future releases. The tool's price can be a little lower. The solution's on-premises support is also very limited. We have to rely on other support services to deploy it on-premises."
"Implementing everything on-premise is challenging because it require proper support from advisors, DBAs, and others."
"The product's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Moving data from legacy systems to Snowflake is not that easy. There are some cases where processors are not actually compatible with Snowflake."
"The solution needs to consider including some updates in the future."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Machine learning in Snowflake isn't as advanced as in other products. I haven't heard of any successful industry-wide use cases of machine learning implemented in Snowflake. It might take a couple of years to reach the same level as Databricks."
