Stable tool with a variety of useful, unique features
Pros and Cons
  • "The Time Travel feature is helpful for accessing historical data and the ability to clone external tables is useful."

The Time Travel feature is helpful for accessing historical data and the ability to clone external tables is useful.

Improvement to the end-to-end process of loading data into Snowflake could be made as well.

Internally optimizes well, scales automatically, and offers great performance features
Pros and Cons
  • "I like the fact that we don't need a DBA. It automatically scales stuff."
  • "The product is stable and the performance is excellent."
  • "It's not that flexible when compared to Oracle."
  • "However, it's not that flexible when compared to Oracle."

What is our primary use case?

We are using the Matillion as the ETL tool and Snowflake has storage and there is no data warehouse component for storage.

What is most valuable?

I like the fact that we don't need a DBA. It automatically scales stuff.

Snowflake has better performance features; it automatically knows the difference between the data volume. It adjusts itself.

The performance is great. It internally optimizes well.

The product is stable.

The solution is scalable.

What needs improvement?

There are certain special features that are not available. For example, in Oracle, we have an SQL field. We have functions, procedures, packages, et cetera, which you can create similarly in Snowflake. However, it's not that flexible when compared to Oracle.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used the solution in the last year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The product is stable and the performance is excellent. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's extremely reliable. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Snowflake scales well. If a company needs to expand, it can do so.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

We also use Matillion. I find Snowflake a bit better.

What other advice do I have?

We're partners.

While I can't speak to the version number we are using, we're always on the latest version of the solution.

Snowflake is a good product. It is quite robust and scalable. However, a few of the functions are a little complex in Snowflake. 

I would rate the solution at a nine out of ten.

  • "We find the data sharing and data marketplace aspects of Snowflake absolutely amazing."

  • "There is a scope for improvement. They don't currently support integration with some of the Azure and AWS native services."

What is our primary use case?

We are using it as a data lake. We are using it as a data warehouse and a data mart. It is basically the entire BI and analytics platform.

I am using its latest version.

What is most valuable?

We find the data sharing and data marketplace aspects of Snowflake absolutely amazing.

What needs improvement?

There is a scope for improvement. They don't currently support integration with some of the Azure and AWS native services. It would be good if they can enhance their product to integrate with these services.

It would also be great if it can support stored procedures.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with it for four years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is scalable.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

You need to be aware of the bloating costs. It is easy to use, but if you don't use it wisely, then your monthly bill can bloat a lot. You need to be a bit aware of its consumption cost.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate it a seven out of 10.
