Snowflake has been wonderful.  It completely transformed our operations when we migrated from SQL Server to Snowflake.  It's so much faster, cheaper, and easier to maintain.

Transformed our Data Warehousing Process

Great Cloud-Based Relational Database

I really like the fact that i can store my data in snowflake and use that to create visualizations in tableau.

A Must-use Data Warehouse for Enterprises

I have an amazing experience using Snowflake. It is better than out previous Data Warehouse solution in everything I can think of (besides pricing). We are very satisfied with, and I feel very confident on having it as the backend of all our data needs. 
It is also important to notice that we had a very pleasent experience with Snowflake's sales and account managers: they were very helpful and not pushy at all. 

A fantastic data warehouse solution that solved all our problems

My overall experience with Snowflake has been a pleasurable one.  Though there have been some frustrations at times I have learned and overcome and become a better programmer, and SQL developer for it. I feel like Snowflake is an old friend now.  

Snowflake, Unique just like Us

I would give my over all rating for this product as 10 on 10 . Coming from ORACLE background I really liked this product . You could avoid the entire database management tasks since its been taken care by the snowflake itself.

Snowflake - Best Cloud database you could get to build data warehouse

From the tech support side, some of the engineers did not know the product well.  It took several conversations to resolve simple issues. 

A Promising Solution Marred by Poor Support and Pricing Structure

Great platform that can be used to govern your data, and manage data warehousing

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. 

Skip Redshift, Snowflake scales reliably

An excellent product, quick response time and made life easy by bringing all data under one roof.

Excellent product that did fit very well in your Organization.

I love Snowflake as they have made data warehousing a very easy activity. Having the ability to use SQL to query huge data sets is revolutionary.

Taking Cloud Data Warehousing To Another Level

Grabbing data from our data warehouse is 10x more effective and way faster than it used to be. Snowflake is awesome.

Fast, sleek, sexy

We required a cloud based, scaleable data warehouse to replace our on-premise MS SQL stack. So far Snowflake has proved to be the right choice

Snowflake Review

Overall for us Snowflake platform  is highly scalable and secure. It includes a number of advanced features and functionalities that help businesses store, process, and analyze large amounts of data in real time. The advantages  for our organization include its ease of use, fast query processing, and robust security features. Lately we have used for snowflakes to migrate from our legacy systems as this platform was faster and easier and also integration with other tools was also very efficient.

Best Data Warehouse in the Market

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.

My take on Snowflake

This really speeds up your sql computation, since we can use different computation warehouse on a same datasource, which distributes the load, it is a great experience with Snowflake

Data warehousing and computation as a cloud service

Their customer service and training have been solid - I think MS takes the edge here for training but Snowflake wins for customer service (at least on non-business critical issues) 

Solid Modern platform for EDW

It is effective to store, share, model and analyze data with this program.

Data Storage, Processing & Analytics Program of All Times

This is a very good product. I've had a very good experience with Snowflake.

Great Data Warehouse Product

Overall it's been very easy to get onboarded and up to speed using snowflake.  At my last company, their SQL platform was so complicated I was too intimidated to use it, so I would always have to ask analysts for help getting the data I needed.  With Snowflake, I feel that everything I need to do is straightforward, or easy to figure out with some trial & error and reading the documentation.  I've even gotten several complete SQL-newbie colleagues to begin using Snowflake and they've had a great experience as well.

Great SQL interface, especially for novice users

Overall, Snowflake has made managing, processing, aggregating and sharing data easier across the organization. It still has some work to do in terms of UI to make the user experience smoother, but the underlying technology at its core is solid and solves many issues with backups, data retention and overall user error in working with data.

Impressive product with a promising future

its quite a good experience, and performance is not a issue anymore

Snowflake Boosted up our performances

Did a proof of concept  for my company comparing Snowflake to other databases that we use.

Its been very good experience to use snowflake. Our product performance is increased by using this tool.
