Kevin Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Have prioritized security while managing multi-agent data migration and cloud adoption
We utilize Time Travel with Snowflake because this is a very useful feature. Everyone finds it crucial because in conventional data platforms, it's very difficult to handle these kinds of things. This feature is essential, though I don't have the use cases currently; it is just there for implementation. Regarding Snowflake's automated scaling and suspension features, this auto-scaling is very significant. We had a comparison with Databricks and Snowflake a few months back, and this auto-scaling takes an edge within Snowflake; that's what our observation reflects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"CloudBeaver AWS has impacted us positively in multiple ways."
"Since using CloudBeaver AWS, my organization has experienced many positive outcomes."
"CloudBeaver AWS's interactive dashboards contribute to our organization's data analysis needs, and I find it really good."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization as it reduces our mean time to resolution when verifying data discrepancies."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted our organization in terms of productivity and value addition by reducing the burden of connecting to the database."
"My environment looks very fruitful when I look for an ideal solution for teams or organizations."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization mainly by improving debugging speed, team collaboration, and operational efficiency."
"CloudBeaver AWS has proven itself as a cost-effective, scalable, and collaborative platform for database management in the cloud."
"I like Snowflake's data exchange capabilities. It can exchange data with downstream systems and other vendor partners as well."
"The product's most important feature is unloading data to S3."
"Snowflake is a modern version of Informatica which is 100 percent in the cloud."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake are its performance and power."
"Its performance is a big advantage, and when you run a query, its performance is very good."
"The integration capabilities of the product are good and you get what you pay for when it comes to Snowflake."
"Snowflake's most valuable features are data enrichment and flattening."
"Snowflake is faster than on-premise systems and allows for variable compute power based on need."
 

Cons

"CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down; compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether."
"The performance of CloudBeaver AWS can sometimes lag when making connections."
"CloudBeaver AWS could be better if the official documentation were not sometimes too high-level."
"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"CloudBeaver AWS already covers most core database management needs very well, but a few improvements could make it even better for teams working with real-time systems and cloud monitoring."
"In terms of drawbacks, CloudBeaver AWS's cloud instances are slower than what local solutions provide. Debugging is not smooth or effective compared to what other databases provide."
"CloudBeaver's web interface slows down or freezes when handling complex queries, for example, with large PL/pgSQL statements or large complex CTEs that can reach 500 lines of queries."
"The aspect of it that was more complicated was stored procedures. It does not support SQL language-based stored procedures. You have to write in JavaScript. If they supported SQL language and stored procedures, it would make migration from on-prem much simpler. In most cases, if an on-prem solution has stored procedures, they're usually written in SQL. They're not written as what most on-prem DBMS would refer to as an external stored procedure, which is what these feel like to most people because they're written in a language outside of SQL."
"Snowflake has to build more capabilities because they have only built very few adapters, but they're growing and they're building."
"Its price should be improved. On the cost-side, it is more expensive than others."
"Room for improvement would be writebacks. It doesn't support extensively writing back to the database, and it doesn't support web applications effectively. Ultimately, it's a database call, so if we are building web applications using Snowflake, it isn't that effective because there is some turnaround time from the database."
"Every product has room for improvement, although in this case, it needs some broadening of the functionality."
"Its transaction application needs improvement."
"Snowflake can improve its machine learning and AI capabilities."
"The solution could improve by allowing non-structured data, such as PDFs, images, or videos. We cannot see the data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Users have to pay a licensing fee for the solution, which is expensive."
"Snowflake licensing is more flexible and it is cheaper than other solutions. I can use it for only 10 days for MVP, or three years, and for flexible models. I can scale up, or down, and the pricing is based on the volume and duration. There are many licensing permutation combinations available."
"It is pay-as-you-go. Its cost is in the medium range."
"Snowflake is expensive, but when I consider what we get for that price, it's fair. I rate the solution three out of five for affordability, right in the middle."
"You pay based on the data that you are storing in the data warehouse and there are no maintenance costs."
"Snowflake is cost-effective. However, the cost can depend on how it's being used and how efficiently the code is written. If engineers don't write efficient code and usage is billed based on processing, it can become costly. If they write optimal code and choose the best solution, it can reduce costs in comparison to other options, such as Oracle."
"The pricing is economical as compared to traditional solutions like Oracle and competitive pricing."
"On average, with the number of queries that we run, we pay approximately $200 USD per month."
