What is Snowflake?
Snowflake’s cloud data platform supports a multi-cloud strategy, including a cross-cloud approach to mix and match clouds as you see fit. Snowflake is available globally on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform. 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.

Incredible best way to store data
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?
We needed a faster warehouse to store our data at a reasonable price. I find the best match to our needs because it is less costly when compared to other solutions and incredibly the fastest solution. I also enjoy that role-based access is an important component of it. It also has excellent data exchange capabilities.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I had a fantastic experience with Snowflake, a cloud-based Warehouse system, which is the finest part. The first and main thing I like about it is entirely based on a shared-nothing design, which means it performs better during analysis. Another thing I appreciate about this warehouse is that we have to pay for the length of time we use the main warehouse here for that specific period of time, even if the warehouse is closed for typical inquiries.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Overall I had a pleasant experience with it but some things need improvements 1. The user interface is clumsy and unintuitive. 2. The error messages might be expanded and made more comprehensive. 3. Mac support appears to be more restricted. Issues with data produced by Mac were encountered, and support took months to properly remedy.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Snowflake, which I surely recommend, offers great automated infrastructure management, optimization, availability, data protection, and more, allowing you to focus on using your data. I appreciate the data governance and Python programming language support. We can easily design separate schemas for different operations and roles for people with varying levels of access.
Pros
- Reliable
