Provides valuable insight into user behavior and integrates well with G Suite
The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data. Since the tool is free, I believe Google is optimizing costs by sampling data and providing us with a fairly accurate view of our site analytics. The mobile aspect of Google Analytics is quite complex to integrate using their SDKs. The web is much easier to integrate with a simple script to add in the header. I would love to see an auto event capture mechanism, like Mixpanel or Heap, so that the setting up of the analytics becomes easier.

Enables data-driven decision-making with robust features and effective scalability
The internal design engine and the columnar database are particularly valuable. These features reduce input and output memory, which is crucial in handling large data sets. The solution fulfills the business requirement for scaling and analytics. Snowflake Analytics supports data security with a single sign-on feature and complies with framework regulations, which is highly beneficial.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"The User Explorer is a definite favorite because it allows us to pinpoint a user and check their entire journey through our website including all the events triggered and the pages visited."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is its performance."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"Snowflake Analytics' predictive analytics elements, which incorporate AI, are good and easy to integrate."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"Scaling is very high – there's no problem for scaling purposes. The learning curve is very small. And there are a lot of advanced features like handling duplicates, security, data governance, data sharing, and data cloning."
"One of the distinctive features of Snowflake is its ability to handle large datasets efficiently."
"The most valuable features of Snowflake for our data analytics are its time travel capability, allowing easy data recovery, and its automatic optimization of partitioning and clustering."
"What we found most valuable in Snowflake Analytics are its attributes that are very convenient for business use such as data sharing, cloning, time travel, and fail-safe. It's a good product all in all."
 

Cons

"They can improve their Android app."
"Beginner users access the live help section a lot, because of how confusing it is, so it would not be bad if the function was located within the administration section."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"If you do not use JavaScript, you will be invisible to Google Analytics. If you have the option of JavaScript disabled in your browsers, you will be invisible to the data, since the tool will not be able to register you."
"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"Improvements are needed in importing and exporting large datasets to and from reporting tools."
"One notable absence in Snowflake's offerings is an on-premises solution."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"Snowflake Analytics should probably have more built-in tools for master data management."
"Integration into different Python and Jupyter notebooks needs to be improved."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Implementing everything on-premise is challenging because it require proper support from advisors, DBAs, and others."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
"It is not overly expensive. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
"The product's pricing is subjective."
"It's not costly if you configure it properly to ensure optimal performance. People don't configure it properly, which is why costs go up."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a seven. The solution's pricing is high."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
