Guided use, simplicity and easy to keep on track with your projects **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Salvador R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2023 **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. ### 50. Great, Scalable Product with a Support Gap **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Madhusudan S. | Wordpress Developer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 10, 2023 **What do you like best about Snowflake?** Using Snowflake has been a great experience; I appreciate how easy it is to view, analyse, and produce reports that are helpful for the organization's business decision-making. Its cloud-based nature, which eliminates the need to install software and does not affect how quickly our PCs work at all during analysis, is another feature I enjoy. **What do you dislike about Snowflake?** The data that needs to be imported must be structured or semi-structured; as of right now, it does not support loading unstructured data, which may be a hassle for some since it affects the price. **What problems is Snowflake solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is the only database program with a user profile that can be customized to the user's unique needs for data synchronization and general data generation. Depending on how things are saved, it can even automatically generate an advantage or disadvantage. We could create a complete image of each user by connecting the system code to a customer feedback loop. ## Snowflake Discussions - [What's the best way to manage change data capture in Snowflake?](https://www.g2.com/discussions/what-s-the-best-way-to-manage-change-data-capture-in-snowflake) -
