Trusted data sharing has supported secure customer insights and supports large analytics teams
Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is very user-friendly. Whatever the team is saying, it is very user-friendly, easy to navigate, and easy to work on. We are using the data sharing feature in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only]. Regarding Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only], it is very helpful. For data sharing in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only], if you have something like customer data and if it is restricted data, we can share very limited access depending on the use cases and personas. Support for concurrent users and workloads in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is important because of performance purposes. If you are working with any kind of reporting tool, how many people are working and how many APIs we are using depends on the scenario. Data enrichment in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is very much important to us. Without it, you cannot use it properly, so you need to enrich your data. Data enrichment in Snowflake Data Cloud [Private Offer Only] is helping with planning and execution as well as insights for management.

Automated infrastructure deployment has reduced our backend release time from days to hours
I found an issue with features that was difficult for me when we needed to retrieve some tags or IDs of a resource that we deployed using Upbound Crossplane, for example, the RDS. We encountered a problem where we needed to use the ID of the RDS in another document that we have, making it difficult to return this information using Upbound Crossplane deployment. I believe Upbound Crossplane could be improved by possibly having a feature that can return tags, IDs, or resources that were deployed inside AWS, such as needing to return the ID of the VPC that we create when using Upbound Crossplane. I think the current state of Upbound Crossplane is already good enough.

Cons

"Regarding Upbound Crossplane's capabilities, I feel the governance and security is something which is lacking."
