Find out what your peers are saying about Snowflake Computing, Oracle, Teradata and others in Data Warehouse."It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"It's user-friendly. It's SQL-driven. The fact that business can also go to this application and query because they know SQL is the biggest factor."
"The technical support on offer is excellent."
"Very easy to use and easy to query."
"Data Science capabilities are the most valuable feature."
"Snowflake has three great features: Snowpiping is proving to be very valuable, Time Travel is excellent, and Snowpipes are another great functionality the solution has made available."
"The distributed architecture of Snowflake has the capacity to process huge datasets faster and allows us to scale up and down according to our needs."
"It requires no maintenance on our part. They handle all that. The speed is phenomenal. The pricing isn't really anything more than what you would be paying for a SQL server license or another tool to execute the same thing. We have zero maintenance on our side to do anything and the speed at which it performs queries and loads the data is amazing. It handles unstructured data extremely well, too. So, if the data is in a JSON array or an XML, it handles that super well."
"The ETL and data ingestion capabilities are better in this solution as compared to SQL Server. SQL Server doesn't do much data ingestion, but Snowflake can do it quite conveniently."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"There are some challenges with loading unstructured data and integrating some message queues or brokers. In one project, we had a problem connecting to one of the message queues and we had to take a different route altogether on Microsoft Azure."
"The product's performance could be improved."
"The UI could improve because sometimes in the security query the UI freezes. We then have to close the window and restart."
"I don't know about GCP, if they have connected for GCP. If they don't, they should allow for it."
"Every product has room for improvement, although in this case, it needs some broadening of the functionality."
"The cost efficiency and monitoring of this solution could be improved. It's easy to spend a lot on Snowflake and it does offer monitoring tools but they're pretty basic."
"Its pricing or affordability is one of the big challenges. Pricing was the only thing that we didn't like about Snowflake. In terms of technical features, it is a complete solution."
"I would like to see more transparency in data processing, ATLs, and compute areas - which should give more comfort to the end users."
