Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

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 has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is its performance."
"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 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."
"One of the distinctive features of Snowflake is its ability to handle large datasets efficiently."
"The Snowflake features I find most beneficial for data analysis are primarily related to analytics, particularly their features like materialized views and queues, which are especially useful for dashboarding purposes."
"One of the key advancements in Snowflake Analytics is data sharing."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"Features like the fact that the solution is very fast and available on the cloud are some of the valuable attributes of the solution."
 

Cons

"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"The platform's data governance space needs more capability."
"I cannot comment on the product's stability because we are still struggling with its performance."
"When we insert data into a large table, it takes a lot of time."
"If you have a lot of computations, it becomes very costly."
"A room for improvement in Snowflake Analytics is Spark, particularly its connector for Spark. An additional feature I'd like to see in the next release of the solution is built-in analytics."
"One area that could benefit from enhancement is the user interface for more visual ESM features."
"The pricing visibility is complex. If you understand pricing, you can estimate costs, but if not, it can be challenging."
"Improvements are needed in importing and exporting large datasets to and from reporting tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"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."
"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 solution's pricing is affordable."
"I have been using free trial version."
"Snowflake Analytics is not an expensive solution, and its pricing is average."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
