Low-code pipelines have accelerated team collaboration and simplified CI/CD development
Developers can share within Coalesce.io. I would rate Coalesce.io as nine out of ten. We do not track any metrics at the moment. Coalesce.io is deployed in a private cloud. When Coalesce.io needs to be updated or maintained, we must declare the maintenance window. We cannot use the tool during maintenance, but we try to keep maintenance time low to prevent any issues. I don't have much information about security features. Coalesce.io offers capabilities that we managed to use, but we also use external tools. The Coalesce.io integration was planned to be smooth because before it, we used another tool, so we had to migrate what we had on the previous tool to Coalesce.io and then switch off when everything was done. I suggest Coalesce.io to everyone who wants a collaborative environment deeply integrated with Snowflake that supports developers in their job.

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

"Coalesce.io has impacted our organization positively by providing a low-code approach, supporting different sources so we don't need to write custom code, and offering a collaborative tool suitable for teams with a large number of developers."
"Snowflake has positively impacted us by making everything cloud-native, significantly reducing the systems and application running process."
"For us, the virtual warehousing is likely the most valuable aspect."
"Snowflake's most valuable features are data enrichment and flattening."
"From a data warehouse perspective, it's an excellent all-round solution. It's very complete."
"Snowflake is a great solution if you have substantial data volume."
"I like the idea that you can assign roles and responsibilities, limiting access to data."
"The Time Travel feature is helpful for accessing historical data and the ability to clone external tables is useful."
"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."
 

Cons

"At the moment, the only improvement I see is deeper support for AI agents to support the developer's job."
"The solution should offer an on-premises version also."
"From the documentation, the black box is not very descriptive. Snowflake does not reveal how exactly the data is processed or sourced."
"The user interface continues to be an issue, especially when we need to get data out of Snowflake. It's very easy to get data in, but it's not too easy to get it out or extract it."
"The UI could improve because sometimes in the security query the UI freezes. We then have to close the window and restart."
"Currently there isn't end-to-end or B2B sharing of data."
"These days, they are pushing users towards the GUI or graphical version. However, I am more familiar with the classic version. I'd like to continue to work with it using the older approach."
"It's difficult to know how to size everything correctly."
"They need to improve its ETL functionality so that Snowflake becomes an ETL product. Snowpipe can do some pipelines and data ingestion, but as compare to Talend, these functionalities are limited. The ETL feature is not good enough. Therefore, Snowflake can only be used as a database. You can't use it as an ETL tool, which is a limitation. We have spoken to the vendor, and they said they are working on it, but I'm not sure when they will bring it to production."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I believe that pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."
"Pricing is approximately $US 50 per DB. Terabyte is around $US 50 per month."
"The price for the solution's license depends on the use cases."
"Currently, we have a trial account, so we don't need a license. After our project starts, we would need a permanent license."
"Snowflake has consumption-based costs; users only pay for storage and computing."
"The pricing is economical as compared to traditional solutions like Oracle and competitive pricing."
"I have not been billed yet, but it should be less. I'm still running the trial version, but it seems to be less than Databricks."
