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

"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."
"It's got incredible depth, yet it’s free."
"Our organization has improved because we have solid data that we can use to analyze the impact of our public policies."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"In my opinion, Google Analytics fulfills the role it plays in a good way."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"We have increased our visits, views, and average stay on site time, which has led to an increase in revenues, and better targeting of our digital marketing campaigns."
"The computational power of Snowflake is very good."
"It's not necessary to use a physical server."
"I am impressed with the product's data-sharing feature."
"Snowflake Analytics has a bright future and is capturing the market across various domains such as life sciences, BFSI, and supply chain."
"It's cloud-based technology, so users can spin it up a lot faster"
"The performance has been good."
"While we've done many complex implementations, Snowflake always has a way of simplifying things."
"Snowflake Analytics has played a major role in improving our data model transformations, increasing our productivity by allowing us to do things very quickly and receive results rapidly, and reducing the time and effort required for coding compared to traditional methods and Python."
 

Cons

"Not the right product if you need detailed click stream analysis or integration with your firm's customer segmentation."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"One area that Analytics falls short is in creating a report archive."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"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."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"The sampling of data is definitely a pain point since we don't have an actual understanding of the data."
"Snowflake's Snowpark is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"When we insert data into a large table, it takes a lot of time."
"We haven't witnessed any ROI, however, it's not really a goal of the solution."
"Machine learning in Snowflake isn't as advanced as in other products. I haven't heard of any successful industry-wide use cases of machine learning implemented in Snowflake. It might take a couple of years to reach the same level as Databricks."
"The product's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Snowflake Analytics should probably have more built-in tools for master data management."
"Snowflake should include a WHERE clause for building data pipelines."
"The platform's data governance space needs more capability."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
"I have been using free trial version."
"It is not overly expensive. I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"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."
"The product's pricing is subjective."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Snowflake Analytics is not an expensive solution, and its pricing is average."
