Great for identifying hotspots, has an excellent knowledge map, and makes it easy to find files
The three main aspects we like are: 1. Hotspots: This is the core of the product and helps us to focus on the smaller and most impactful areas of the codebase. 2. Code Health and Code Complexity: This helps us understand the issues and what we need to fix and how. CodeScene provides a summary of the method and function level and helps focus on a smaller section of the files instead of looking at everything all at once. 3. Knowledge Map: This helps us understand team dynamics such as how developers have worked on the code and how fragmented the code is. There's information around knowledge loss and knowledge islands that is very informative.

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.

Pros

"CodeScene provides a summary of the method and function level and helps focus on a smaller section of the files instead of looking at everything all at once."
"Snowflake is a data lake on the cloud where all processing happens in memory, resulting in very fast query responses."
"The way it is built and designed is valuable. The way the shared model is built and the way it exploits the power of the cloud is very good. Certain features related to administration and management, akin to Oracle Flashback and all that, are very important for modern-day administration and management. It is also good in terms of managing and improving performance, indexing, and partitioning. It is sort of completely automated. Everything is essentially under the hood, and the engine takes care of it all. As a data warehouse on the cloud, Snowflake stands strong on its ground even though each of the cloud providers has its own data warehouse, such as Redshift for AWS or Synapse for Azure."
"I think this solution provides the best potential of any data warehousing product where they choose to use Snowflake instead of Oracle or DBII."
"Snowflake has positively impacted us by making everything cloud-native, significantly reducing the systems and application running process."
"This is the advanced version of the cloud version, so it's really a flexible tool. If you have it implemented at home, you can access it from anywhere."
"My advice for anybody who is considering Snowflake is that it is a really good product, especially if you are having issues with Big Data."
"Snowflake on cloud is the best right now."
"The ETL and data ingestion capabilities are better in this solution as compared to SQL Server, which doesn't do much data ingestion, but Snowflake can do it quite conveniently."
 

Cons

"The generated reports could be improved further."
"The documentation could improve."
"Some SQL language functions could be included."
"Snowflake is very good overall, but it could improve documentation for supporting different structures."
"Pricing is an issue for many customers."
"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."
"If you go with one cloud provider, you can't switch."
"The product's performance could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product's price range falls between average to a bit expensive range. I think the tool is worth the money if you use it properly."
"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."
"I am not much aware of the price, but based on what I have analyzed so far, its cost is reasonable as compared to on-prem data warehouse solutions. It provides a great deal for production."
"The whole licensing system is based on credit points. You can also make a license agreement with the company so that you buy credit points and then you use them. What you do not use in one year can be carried over to the next year."
"Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."
"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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Currently, we have a trial account, so we don't need a license. After our project starts, we would need a permanent license."
