Pros
I have an amazing experience using Snowflake. It is better than out previous Data Warehouse solution in everything I can think of (besides pricing).
This is a cloud database and warehousing service, the syntax of snowflake is like psql. They have a good community support and good documentations for all the queries.
They just added visualization and it is amazing. Super fast to run queries and extremely easy to use and share.
Cons
Script error messages could be more specific and helpful with identifying errors and troubleshooting.
Costly if data is too big. You can't own the data, you have to depend on the Data Engineering team.
A minute potion of the syntax of sql is slightly different from psql, which makes it hard to migrate the application from different psql service providers.

My take on Snowflake

Reviewed 2 years ago

It perfectly bridges the gap between a Data Warehouse and a Data Lake being highly available, good for scaling up or down as per needs automatically to provide the best performance and optimization for your queries. Can store and give access to huge volumes of data which can be necessary for future decision making.

Pros

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. Its cloud nature, eliminates the need to install software and does not affect how our machines work at all during analysis, is another feature I thoroughly appreciate. I adore how it offers many modernised SQL capabilities as well as practical tools for protecting data which can be sensitive in nature.

Cons

The capability to launch numerous queries is absent. The searches occasionally take longer than usual, and with no estimated time as to how long it takes is agonising. There could be a history tab for instance to see all the previous queries written or executed so it can be easy to refer and take part of the previous query instead of writing it again from scratch. There is no straightforward way to convert the SQL queries to Snowflake.

A great example of a data warehouse solution

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

I love how straightforward and performant the solution was

Cons

Data visualisation was a little lacking, meaning you had to tether to a system like Google Data Studio or Sigma/Tableau to make sense of the data

Skip Redshift, Snowflake scales reliably

Reviewed 4 years ago

Snowflake supports both our analytics (dashboards and ad-hoc queries) and machine learning, including PySpark clusters. Our data scientists have found it a pleasure to work with, with rich analytics query support. The cloud-based technical architecture provides significant advantages over other offerings, including the critical ability to segment usage patterns and scale reliably.

Pros

We switched from Redshift to Snowflake for two primary reasons: 1. Snowflake's virtual warehouses allow scaling reliably, whereas Redshift becomes unstable; 2. First-class JSON support. Having switched to Snowflake, data warehouse administration has gone from nightmare to almost nothing. We continue to scale our data and analytics, and Snowflake handles it easily.

Cons

Snowflake's approach to sales and support is a blend of on-demand cloud offering and enterprise tool. They could improve certain aspects, such as simplifying the set up of Snowpipe to stream data from AWS. But these are minor features involved in initial setup.
