"Guided use, simplicity and easy to keep on track with your projects"
What do you like best about Snowflake?

The databases are easily organized. You can search them on your own. The features allow you to keep an easy track of your projects and because of that you´re able to recicle code and separate your queries according to the project.

What do you dislike about Snowflake?

Sometimes when the query fails you are not told very specifically where the error is being generated. A FAQ section should be included or a section with tips to get started with SF

What problems is Snowflake solving and how is that benefiting you?

Working with relational databases without having to dowload them and work on them in R or Python. Thanks to snowflake I´m able to get just the data I need. It simplifies my job because some of the communications I send extract the most recent data from SF instead of hurrying to upload data.

"Snowflake: A Robust Platform for Data Lake Building"
What do you like best about Snowflake?

I've found Snowflake to be a powerful and versatile solution for connecting multiple data sources. Snowflake really shines when it comes to handling data of all shapes and sizes. Snowflake is designed to be accessible to folks from all backgrounds, whether you're a tech whiz or just dipping your toes into the data lake world. The SQL-based approach makes managing and querying data lakes a breeze. Snowflake's cloud-native setup ensures things run smoothly. So, you can count on optimal performance even when you're dealing with heavy data workloads. Queries run efficiently, and concurrency, making it relaible for ad hoc analytics and reporting.

What do you dislike about Snowflake?

It takes some time to get familiarized with their UI. While Snowflake is user-friendly, those new to cloud-based data lake platforms will need some time and patience to get caught up. However, Snowflake provides lots of documentation and resources help mitigate this challenge.

What problems is Snowflake solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a centrailized space to build a data lake. Snowflake can integrate with mulitple CRMs. It's like the social butterfly of data platforms as we are conencting Google Cloud Storage. They have lots of options for payment plans based on your data load. We are now saving money by deploying a centralized data front.

"Snowflake - Best out there!"

Snowflake's architecture is build for scalability. The data sharing capabilities are exceptional; ot requires literally zero maintainince. I would rate Snowflake the best out there in terms of easy of use, support and value for money. Pretty much everything about Snowflake is great!

The only disadvantage I can see is it being slightly expensive. If you're a very early stage organization, I wouldn;t recommend spending a lot until you have a 5-6 person data team to set up the infrastructure.

I use Snowflake as a central place to manage, modify, combine and organize data. Snowflake acts as a central hub to pull in and push data to various tools and our CRM (Salesforce).
