Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistent Seo Manager at RTDS
Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best product.
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

"Even though it's free, Google Analytics is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"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."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."

"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"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."
"Snowflake Analytics' most valuable feature is its inbuilt infrastructure for executing queries, which I don't have to manage based on my data volume as it's taken care of by Snowflake."
"Its structure aids in storing, managing, and analyzing large datasets in the cloud, using various relationships like one-to-one and many-to-one, ensuring consistency in the data structure."
"The solution auto-scales and it provides concurrency."
 

Cons

"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"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."
"The technical support from Google has room for improvement."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"Data capture of the acquisition of users, as on a few occasions, it was unclear where we got traffic from."

"They can improve their Android app."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."

"We were experiencing errors while running reports and making connections."
"The product's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Snowflake's Snowpark is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The UI must be improved."

"The UI could be more user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"Snowflake Analytics is a little more costly than Azure."
"I rate the product's licensing cost a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"Snowflake charges per query, which amounts to a very minor cost, such as $0.015 per query."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
"I have been using free trial version."
