What is Snowflake?

With a common and interchangeable code base, Snowflake delivers advantages such as global data replication, which means you can move your data to any cloud in any region, without having to re-code your applications or learn new skills.

Fantastic data warehouse solution
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?
Snowflake offers virtual warehouses that enable dependable scaling, whereas others become unstable; and also offers first-rate JSON support. Snowflake has reduced data warehouse administration from a nightmare to nearly nothing. We're continuing to scale our data and analytics, and Snowflake is up to the task.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I love this warehouse which is mostly used in the DML statement. So it decides whether to use the warehouse or not, which is a great way to save money. Snowflake also comes with built-in user security features, which was a significant plus for us. SnowSQL has a lot of useful functions, and the documentation is quite well written.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Using Snowflake necessitates some level of technical knowledge that not all members of a company may have. Furthermore, there is no support for local development testing, and unit tests to check application functionality that connects with Snowflake are difficult to construct. The documentation for functions is frequently confusingly phrased and lacks examples.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
When it comes to validating information trails of consumers, you will find it comprehensive, focused, and easier to look further into client information. It is simply a game-changer in the market, with the lowest price and very minor drawbacks when compared to others. You must test it initially for your business needs and then make any decision.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
- Saves Time
