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
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

"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."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"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."
"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."
"It's a scalable solution because you can analyze a huge amount of data in the solution."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"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."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"The latest interface of Snowsight UI has added good capabilities and the interface is excellent."
"The advanced features like time travel, zero copy cloning and scalability have been most useful. Snowflake requires zero maintenance for Data Warehousing on the cloud system."
"It can run complex workloads with varied compute."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is the ability to control and manage the cost."
 

Cons

"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."
"They can improve their Android app."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"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."
"Navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when looking for details like the account ID."
"The solution's high price can be an area of concern that needs improvement."
"End-to-end execution of jobs isn't possible with Snowflake, which means we have to do some customization."
"The UI must be improved."
"One notable absence in Snowflake's offerings is an on-premises solution."
"The platform could work easier for AI implementation compared to one of its competitors."
"Integration into different Python and Jupyter notebooks needs to be improved."
"The solution needs to consider including some updates in the future."

"Snowflake Analytics is not an expensive solution, and its pricing is average."
"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"Snowflake charges per query, which amounts to a very minor cost, such as $0.015 per query."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"I have been using free trial version."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
