Staff Infrastructure Engineer at a manufacturing company with 201-500 employees
Centralized research workspace has streamlined GPU access and simplified remote collaboration
The best features Coder offers include easy integration into a remote environment that is accessible from everywhere, VS Code integrations, and AI integrations. The AI integrations I mentioned include various ways people access AI, such as using Cursor and Claude with various models. We have fairly extensive licensing as we are a biologics company, so the integration with Anthropic's Life Sciences has been wonderful as well as the integration with cloud workflow. Coder has positively impacted my organization by providing a central place for people to run their research and enabling us as administrators to focus on one aspect of researcher interactions with our clusters, so we do not have to provide much education or options for integrating their workflows into our clusters.

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

"Coder is a strong solution for developers who want a consistent cloud-based and repeatable development environment."
"Coder is very stable and incredibly reliable."
"Its performance is most valuable. As compared to SQL Server, we are able to see a significant improvement in performance with Snowflake."
"The initial setup is straightforward. You just need to follow the documentation."
"I like the idea that you can assign roles and responsibilities, limiting access to data."
"The solution is stable."
"The pricing is reasonable and matches the rest of the market."
"As long as you don't need to worry about the storage or cost, this solution would be one of the best ones on the market for scalability purposes."
"Snowflake is easy for business users to implement, allowing them to start small and grow big."
"The most valuable feature is the clone copy."
 

Cons

"Coder can be improved by making setup easier for users who are not very experienced with infrastructure or Terraform style."
"The solution could improve the user interface and add functionality to the system."
"The UI could improve because sometimes in the security query the UI freezes. We then have to close the window and restart."
"The solution needs more connectors."
"Snowflake is expensive, but when I consider what we get for that price, it's fair."
"It needs a bit more rigor and governance, which is something you don't get with newer tools. This makes it less enterprise scalable. Its governance and structure can be enhanced, which would really be valuable. I would like to see some kind of prebuilt functionality in terms of having almost like a pre-built data warehouse. A functionality for generating automated kind of pieces would be good."
"We are yet to figure out how to integrate tools, such as Liquibase, to release changes to our data warehouse model."
"From the documentation, the black box is not very descriptive. Snowflake does not reveal how exactly the data is processed or sourced."
"I am still in the learning stage. It has good security, but it can always be more secure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We use Snowflake pretty heavily. We pay a significant amount of money for the tool. I'd say we pay $300k to $400K every year."
"There is a licensing for this solution and we purchased an enterprise license. Overall the solution is cost-effective."
"We're based on credits. So, we're paying four and a half dollars of credit. There are no additional costs. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing part is based on the computing and storage. The costs are different and then there are services costs as well."
"Oracle is less expensive than Snowflake."
"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."
"They give a different price for every single company. I don't know if I negotiated that well, but we got the enterprise tier for $3 a credit, and the other two were a dollar-ninety a credit. I suspect we don't have almost zero compute usage, but I know that our annual contract packages are below all of their minimums."
