Downed the Snowflake Kool-Aid

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The announcements and new releases are proof of the innovation of its leaders and their drive to put customers first. The fact that Snowflake keeps getting better and better with no downtime is amazing. Can't wait to see more!
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly, can't think of one, but for my specific role, I would say it's hard to know who to talk to in the company due to the growth (a good problem to have, I suppose). It constantly changes making partner relationships difficult with Snowflake Sales Directors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently the big thing we are seeing is with MPP migrations coming up on end-of-life. Snowflake is the clear choice to maximize data warehousing and cloud benefits.

Innovation at it's finest

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Snowflake didn't just develop a cutting edge DW and stop there. Instead they ask "how can I make this better for our customers and partners" on a daily basis. These innovations show and contribute to the Blizzard that is Snowflake!
What do you dislike about the product?
With the exceptional growth of the company, it's difficult to determine who is who, what rep is over each area, and who to reach out to to solve a problem. But this is a great problem to have - a massive growth spurt!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are helping companies ditch legacy platforms and establish best practices for moving to the cloud. Our mutual customers have been most blown away by the scalability and query speed Snowflake provides.

Just like any other database

  • June 05, 2019
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The SQL standards followed by snowflake matches the ANSI standards and it's similar to majority of RDBMDS systems in terms of SQL syntax.
What do you dislike about the product?
Connectivity with other computing platforms like Spark or it's Python3 connector which i found major issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We created a warehouse of petabytes in snowflake, where we use it right for the complete data pipeline an ETL. We also built some interesting analytics app on top of it using it's Python connector and now having issues with it's Python3 connector.
