"Powerful and scalable data warehouse solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Snowflake?

What I like most about Snowflake is how easily it handles large volumes of data with great performance. The ability to separate storage and compute is a huge advantage, as it allows us to scale resources up or down based on demand. It integrates smoothly with BI tools and supports secure data sharing, which makes collaboration across teams much easier. Overall, it’s a very reliable and flexible data platform.

What do you dislike about Snowflake?

The main drawback is that costs can increase quickly if workloads are not monitored closely. The pricing model requires careful management to avoid surprises. Additionally, for new users, some of the advanced features require a learning curve. However, once you get familiar with the platform, it works very effectively.

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

As fraud analysts, we need to process very large datasets multiple times a day to detect anomalies and identify suspicious activity. Snowflake makes this possible by providing fast, reliable, and scalable data processing without slowing down. The ability to run complex queries on massive amounts of data in near real-time has improved the speed and accuracy of our investigations. It allows us to focus on insights rather than infrastructure, which is a big advantage in fraud detection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of snowflake is the cost, which can increase quickly if usage is not monitored properly. The separation of compute and storage can also make billing a bit confusing for new users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Snowflake helps solve problems related to managing large volumes of data, slow query performance, and data silos across teams. It allows us to store, process, and analyze data in one centralized platform without worrying about infrastructure management.
