James Dascole - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Charter Communications
Customer journeys have become clearer and real-time insights now highlight needed reporting improvements
One improvement I want to mention is that the way I had Glassbox set up was through the data layer; I am a technical person, so I used a Google Dev screen to search within Glassbox for segments rather than using the Adobe API connection, which I think would have been preferable since others have reported better success with that. I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier.
Garima Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Principal Engineer at Nagarro
Have created secure cloud-based data lakes and improved real-time data processing using integrated AI features
There are many capabilities which Snowflake Analytics offers that I find valuable, such as the storage and compute engine that allows working with any cloud system such as AWS or Azure, alongside its efficiencies in storage computation and cost-effectiveness, which saves money compared to on-premise systems. We also have features such as pre-cached results, Time Travel, and fail-safe, which are very useful for restoring data if deleted accidentally, and the streams and data pipes that facilitate real-time ingestion are great features as well. Snowflake Analytics offers multiple new connectors, allowing me to connect it with Kafka, and with Snowpark, I can work with any programming language such as Python, Java, or Scala for data processing and analysis. The data sharing feature offered by Snowflake Analytics is good because it allows sharing specific sets of data to end customers or users from different Snowflake Analytics accounts without exposing the entire dataset for data security reasons. Snowflake Analytics' support for machine learning models and real-time insights has enhanced significantly. Originally, it wasn't strong in AI/ML, but now it has multiple models and forecasting capabilities, providing good competition to tools such as Databricks and Spark. In BI, I have worked majorly with Microsoft Power BI, and the integration with Snowflake Analytics is very easy. The way we integrate Snowflake Analytics with other on-premise systems just requires the warehouse details, username, passwords, and the account name, along with multiple options such as client ID and credentials for logging in and creating a session. The end-to-end encryption provided by Snowflake Analytics is very important because, in my previous firm, working in finance and investment management, data encryption is necessary due to the sensitive nature of customer data and the involvement of people's money. It's crucial to have encryption in transit and at rest, along with data masking features which Snowflake Analytics offers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"One of the biggest benefits of using Glassbox is faster issue identification and better visibility into customer experience problems."
"One specific outcome I can share about Glassbox is a decrease in customer complaints because as soon as I catch an issue, as soon as there is an event where a particular issue is occurring and it crosses the threshold, the system sends an event and I can check that user session to see what is happening and address that issue immediately and resolve it."
"Glassbox has helped us reduce the time required to investigate customer issues, improve digital experience, and make data-driven decisions."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"The customer support is nice; we have a quite strict partnership with continuous feedback, workshops, and they are listening to us because the client is quite important, so it is fine."
"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"Glassbox has reduced the turnaround time of customer incidents, and it is saving a lot of time and money for us."
"While we've done many complex implementations, Snowflake always has a way of simplifying things."
"It is quite a convenient tool."
"The performance has been good."
"One advantage is that installation is unnecessary since it's cloud-based. You subscribe to a Snowflake instance, configure it, and start using it. It's very user-friendly and allows you to scale up or down based on usage."
"The latest interface of Snowsight UI has added good capabilities and the interface is excellent."
"Features like the fact that the solution is very fast and available on the cloud are some of the valuable attributes of the solution."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"Considering everything I have accessed, the product's dashboard is good since it provides multiple good options, including customization options."
 

Cons

"Glassbox is not stable in my experience. Glassbox often has downtime and technical issues; reports are not loading and there are login errors."
"I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"One frustration I have experienced with Glassbox is that with large amounts of session data, it could sometimes take time to filter and narrow down the exact user journey I want to analyze."
"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Glassbox is powerful, but I think the user interface could be more intuitive for new users."
"Glassbox is not the best when it comes to back-end data and capturing things such as server time and response time."
"The platform's data governance space needs more capability."
"AIML-based SQL prompt and query generation could be an area for enhancement."
"Snowflake's Snowpark is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Snowflake Analytics can improve the integration with machine learning tools and AI and it will make the solution more usable."
"Implementing everything on-premise is challenging because it require proper support from advisors, DBAs, and others."
"One improvement Snowflake Analytics could benefit from is in cost, particularly during peak hours."
"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"The scheduling of jobs requires improvement, particularly in terms of the user interface which currently lacks certain features found in comparable platforms."
