Snowflake provides scalable architecture with automatic adjustments, supporting diverse data sizes and user volumes, despite cost concerns.
Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
The autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
Snowflake is very scalable and has a dedicated team constantly improving the product.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
The billing doubles with size increase, but processing does not necessarily speed up accordingly.
Data Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
Recently, Snowflake has introduced streaming capabilities, real-time and dynamic tables, along with various connectors.

Room For Improvement

Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
Snowflake users desire UI, statistical modeling, GCP integration, error visibility, reporting tools, better ETL, AI features, and SQL-based procedures.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
A specific example is when they told us they fully support Iceberg, and then they have over three thousand words of bullet point text with a link to reference articles with all the limitations of their Iceberg support.
Enhancements in user experience for data observability and quality checks would be beneficial, as these tasks currently require SQL coding, which might be challenging for some users.
Data Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
What things you are going with to ask the support and how we manage the relationship matters a lot.
Asset Builder at Genpact - Headstrong
 

Setup Cost

Matillion's pricing is competitive, flexible, and cost-effective, with discounts for annual commitments and strategic instance management.
Snowflake's pay-as-you-go model offers competitive pricing and flexibility, appealing to enterprises despite licensing complexity and cost unpredictability.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
When it comes to cloud support, the setup cost is very cheap compared to other platforms, such as Oracle or PostgreSQL, which typically require higher costs.
Data Integration Developer at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Snowflake's pricing is on the higher side.
Technology Leader at eTCaaS
Snowflake lacks transparency in estimating resource usage.

Valuable Features

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud enhances ETL processes with user-friendly tools, automation, and security for efficient, scalable data management.
Snowflake excels in data sharing, recovery, scalability, and integration with major cloud platforms, offering robust and cost-effective performance.
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity.
Director Axtria - Ingenious Insights! at Axtria - Ingenious Insights
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is effective for ingest functions, particularly when moving information to Snowflake and performing many transformations.
Technology Transformation Specialist at SDG Group
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.
Asset Builder at Genpact - Headstrong
I have used the Snowflake Zero-Copy Cloning feature in the past while prototyping data in lower environments. This feature is helpful as it saves a lot of time during the data replication process.

Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

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.
