Targeted in-app messaging has increased event registrations and deepened insight into customer behavior
The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, though it does require some work. You can target anybody who hasn't logged in in the past 30 days or anybody who has logged in in the past 30 days, enabling very targeted communications.We saw direct impact on revenue through event registrations. When we did a webinar and invited customers, we could see that approximately 50% of our registrations came from Pendo as opposed to email.It impacted the organization positively because we have much more data as to how people interact with our product when they're in the product itself and what they click on. On a level of one to ten, I would say the impact was a nine.

Daily restaurant dashboards have become faster and now support simultaneous team analytics
Some of the best features of Snowflake Analytics is how it is separated for compute and storage, which allows multiple teams to run queries without performance impact. Our project has more than nine or ten teams, so if a team is working on a particular dashboard and another team wants to work on Snowflake Analytics, they can easily work on it without disturbing the work of one team, ensuring that the work can be consistent and multiple users can use the tool simultaneously. This is one of the main features I appreciate about Snowflake Analytics.The other aspect is how the query performance is high due to its columnar storage and also automatic optimization, allowing for scaling down during weekdays when there is less data and scaling up during weekends or festivals when the data can be huge. Because of this automatic scaling, if there is less data, we are using only 5 GB instead of 10 GB, which reduces the storage level, and consequently, the cost can be reduced. This automatic scaling and optimization saves us a huge amount of money for our project. Snowflake Analytics has impacted our organization positively by providing faster query performance and better scalability. Previously, we faced issues with slow queries due to traditional systems, but within Snowflake, we can assign separate virtual warehouses for reporting as well as data processing, ensuring that it does not impact tool performance and does not delay reporting to business users. Analysts can run complex queries without affecting ETL workloads due to this separation, which has improved our speed of reporting, and our business users have expressed happiness due to how fast we are generating reports during peak hours.

Pros

"The best feature Pendo offers is the ability to relatively quickly get a message out to a highly segmented audience, enabling very targeted communications and driving direct impact on revenue through event registrations."
"Time Travel and Snowpipe are good features."
"Its structure aids in storing, managing, and analyzing large datasets in the cloud, using various relationships like one-to-one and many-to-one, ensuring consistency in the data structure."
"The latest interface of Snowsight UI has added good capabilities and the interface is excellent."
"It is a wonderful tool that easily organizes data, makes it accessible, loads it from the pipeline, and helps with reporting."
"In most cases, Snowflake improves our operational efficiency if we optimize the warehouse."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"Snowflake Analytics has positively impacted our organization by saving about eight to ten hours per week, which we can use for advanced analytics and automation tasks."
"One of the valuable features is the solution’s time travel capability. The solution is highly stable. The solution is highly scalable. The initial setup is straightforward, and the deployment process is quick and efficient. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate it a perfect ten."
 

Cons

"Customer support was very good at the beginning, but they changed their structure and customer support declined after that."
"Improvements are needed in importing and exporting large datasets to and from reporting tools."
"The tool should support EIM use cases. I guess the product is already working on it. I look forward to seeing inbuilt AI generative tools in the solution's future releases. The tool's price can be a little lower. The solution's on-premises support is also very limited. We have to rely on other support services to deploy it on-premises."
"Snowflake could improve in the areas of advanced machine learning AML and generative AI."
"End-to-end execution of jobs isn't possible with Snowflake, which means we have to do some customization."
"One improvement Snowflake Analytics could benefit from is in cost, particularly during peak hours."
"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."
"We were experiencing errors while running reports and making connections."
"When we insert data into a large table, it takes a lot of time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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's licensing cost a five or six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
"When using Snowflake, you pay based on your usage. They calculate how much CPU has been used. If you use excess warehouse storage, you are charged one credit per hour. If you are in Asia, you are charged $3 per credit. If you have 10 users running parallel with the same excess, you will be charged $30."
"It's not costly if you configure it properly to ensure optimal performance. People don't configure it properly, which is why costs go up."
"Snowflake Analytics is not an expensive solution, and its pricing is average."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
