Has increased developer confidence by enabling safe production releases using targeted feature toggles
I wish we were using more targeting in our feature toggles and I wish we were using more feature toggles as well as feature toggle dependencies. Making one feature toggle or one set of feature toggles dependent on another one would allow us to turn them all on or turn them all off at one time. For improvements in LaunchDarkly, managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members. It made it challenging to orchestrate team member management. The other aspect I wasn't particularly fond of was when they started adding AI to the interface and deployment interface. It reminded me of old school wizards when installing software and simplified the interface too much, removing some of the engineering control I preferred.

Have prioritized security while managing multi-agent data migration and cloud adoption
We utilize Time Travel with Snowflake because this is a very useful feature. Everyone finds it crucial because in conventional data platforms, it's very difficult to handle these kinds of things. This feature is essential, though I don't have the use cases currently; it is just there for implementation. Regarding Snowflake's automated scaling and suspension features, this auto-scaling is very significant. We had a comparison with Databricks and Snowflake a few months back, and this auto-scaling takes an edge within Snowflake; that's what our observation reflects.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"From the development side, it allows us to manage multiple things."
"The ability to turn off a flag is crucial when a task is not complete, especially if there is an error in a commit."
"I appreciate that we can release any feature in production and maintain control over it."
"I like that it offers the ability to control the flags."
"It has really helped during the series of product lines and faster deployment and faster development."
"These features in my current project have helped my team because they allow us to specifically target users to start turning on functionality, we can monitor the behavior and make sure that it's behaving as expected when the feature toggle is turned on, and then we can increase the usage."
"The setup is easy."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"The technical support is pretty good, particularly if you are a more technical user."
"It's ultra-fast at handling queries, which is what we find very convenient."
"Working with Parquet files is support out of the box and it makes large dataset processing much easier."
"By integrating everything into a single Snowflake platform, we have lowered the total cost of ownership quite a bit."
"It has great flexibility whenever we are loading data and performs ELT (extract, load, transform) techniques instead of ETL."
"Snowflake is a modern version of Informatica which is 100 percent in the cloud."
"I like the idea that you can assign roles and responsibilities, limiting access to data."
"The most valuable features are sharing data, Time Travel, Zero Copy Cloning, performance, and speed."
 

Cons

"We need experience to use it, and the initial setup can be difficult. Also, sometimes it has breakdowns."
"When the system has an excessive number of feature flags, managing them can become cumbersome."
"I strongly believe they need to develop a strategy for handling situations where LaunchDarkly goes down."
"Fetching information about multiple flags in a single action would be beneficial."
"The feature where one feature flag is dependent on another could be explored more for our usage."
"Right now, no improvements are needed."
"Managing team members and access to those team members was challenging. We could add team members through Terraform and do it programmatically, and then modify it through the user interface. However, once we started modifying things through the interface, we weren't able to go back to using any configuration programmatically for the team members."
"I have used LaunchDarkly for around two and a half years and I haven't faced any issues with it."
"There are a lot of features that they need to come up with. A lot of functions are missing in Snowflake, so we have to find a workaround for those. For example, OUTER APPLY is a basic function in SQL Server, but it is not there in Snowflake. So, you have to write complex code for it."
"Cost reduction is one area I would like Snowflake to improve. The product is not very cheap, and a reduction in costs would be appreciated."
"Although the UI has improved lately, they still need to work on their UiPath, the workspace area."
"I would like to see more transparency in data processing, ATLs, and compute areas - which should give more comfort to the end users."
"The pricing of the solution should be much easier to calculate or find by yourself."
"From an improvement perspective, Snowflake can evolve in terms of writing costly, expensive queries with less cost and try to see if pipeline development can be made a little easier."
"Improvement is needed in integrating external tools, such as data catalogs, which can be complicated due to differing formats and usage across departments."
"The data sharing capabilities across business units within the organization should be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is per credit. It has a use-it-as-you-go model. We bought a chunk of 20,000 credits, and they were lasting us for at least a year. We didn't have the scale of data like a much larger company to consume more credits. For us, it was very inexpensive. Their strategy is just to leverage what you've got and put Snowflake in the middle. It doesn't make it expensive because most of the organizations already have reporting tools. Now, if you were starting from scratch, it might be cheaper to go a different way."
"Pricing is approximately $US 50 per DB. Terabyte is around $US 50 per month."
"The solution is expensive."
"I believe that pricing is reasonable for this solution."
"Currently, we have a trial account, so we don't need a license. After our project starts, we would need a permanent license."
"The solution is expensive but worth the cost because the quality is there."
"The pricing is economical as compared to traditional solutions like Oracle and competitive pricing."
"It is hard to say because we're usually engaged in the transition as opposed to the long term. Their storage costs are easily within pennies of what AWS S3 would normally cost. Most of the clients I've been working with are in the financial sector, and they're relatively small. I would put them in an SMB connection. The first thing we have to bring up for people is that they're going to build this. They shouldn't store their data in S3. They should pipeline directly into Snowflake and use it on their storage. So, the cost is a big issue because these are small to medium size companies, and that is the biggest thing we had to price point for them."
