So far, with all four clients who have this solution, I have not seen any problem that stands out and causes major headaches or something like that.

In the past three years, I have faced instability. In just one or two instances, I would say when we were running the queries, it was not fetching any result and the error was not proper. That said, that happened in just one or two instances, in the lower environments. Otherwise, the product is very stable.

The stability has been phenomenal up until lately. We haven't had any issues until the last month. For the four years prior it was always on; we didn't have any outages. All in all the stability is great. The availability is extremely high. There's just been something in the last month that has caused outages for some periods of hours.

The solution is stable and reliable. There are no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze. I've never had an issue when you connect it to your infrastructure. I'd rate the stability nine out of ten.

HB
Senior Consultant at a consultancy with 10,001+ employees

The solution is quite stable since everything is in the cloud, and the data these days has become cheap with storage and everything in the cloud. Through clusters and warehouses, sizes can be increased or decreased based on usage, and they can be turned on and turned off. Sustainability-wise, I think it's a pretty good solution.

Chris Hastie - PeerSpot reviewer
Data Lead at InterWorks

It is an incredibly stable solution. It will only go down if your cloud provider itself goes down. So, let's say your Snowflake is hosted in Azure London. If the Azure London data center goes down, I would only see Snowflake going down. If that does happen, Snowflake does have plenty of options for failback replication and rollover backups. 

So we have quite a few customers that, for example, need their data restored in AWS London, and they've got a backup or a replication stored in Azure London. If AWS London goes down, then Azure London one will kick in and become the primary account, and all of the URLs, etcetera, remain the same because they've set up failover URLs and connections for it. At least for the end customer, there's no change. It's only for the architecture and developers behind the scene who then have to double-check things and do all the normal due diligence. But it runs very smoothly

DA

Its stability is fine, but of late, I get loads of messages saying there's some sort of outage or some sort of issue in the application. I keep getting these notifications from Snowflake, which gives a false impression that something wrong is happening, and it might be underlying in the backend. It doesn't seem that stable.

The product is very stable. We never had an issue with stability. It is reliable and it is extremely fast. For example, we had a stock procedure that took half an hour to complete on our SQL cluster, and in Snowflake it was running in two minutes. So that is a significant time savings for just one task.

The solution is stable. We had only one failure, but that was because of AWS issues. Beyond that, I haven't seen anything else. From the Snowflake side, within 10 minutes they reported the AWS issue. It was under two hours of downtime because of the quick response.

They claim zero maintenance support and from my experience, I would agree with that statement. When I was on a previous project we had a lot of support for the Netezza platform we were using. We had approximately twelve people, three onsite and seven offshore. When we migrated from Netezza to Snowflake we reduced the number of people required and kept only some of the team as developers. There is very little support required for this solution. Stability is very good in SnowFlake.
