It was great experience so far working with this tool, we use variety of rdbms and unstructured content in our job and it needs to be analysed. Snowflake gives us one stop solution.
Ability to read automatically from CSV/Json, wide variety of connectors and ease of setup are some best features
I haven't disliked anything yet, best part is company working on this regularly to improve

The three features of many great features that stand out are: -The REAL separation of compute and storage gives the ultimate flexibility. You can match workloads to the proper level of compute without having one workload collide with another. You can optimize what you spend by only using what you need with the ability to change the size of your compute multiple times a day and the ability to stop and resume compute nodes easily. -No other database I have ever used can handle concurrency like Snowflake. Additional clusters are automatically spun up if a query is queued -There is no tuning that needs to be done as this is a data warehouse as a service. No other database comes close to the Snowflake performance without additional tuning. I can put in some time and tune my Oracle, Teradata or HANA database to get similar or slightly better performance but the level of DBA needed to do this is costly. This is especially helpful when the query patterns to be run against the database are unknown.
One of the positives above can also be a negative. Snowflake is a service and not software that you can run in your own data center or your own cloud VPC. This CON can be overcome with end to end encryption where you own the key and other Snowflake features.
