Considered Both Products
Snowflake
Chose Snowflake
Our initial data warehousing solution was Treasure Data. We had issues with the costly pricing model, which would be exhorbitant if we want to hold our data in memory and query using Presto. As a result, some heavy lifting was done in Hive (managed by Treasure Data); …
Chose Snowflake
Snowflake is cheaper, but TreasureData has a better interface and much more functionality. Also, TreasureData is able to process a greater number of records more efficiently. TreasureData has the ability to run both Hive and Presto. Also, TreasureData has native APIs for …
Treasure Data
Chose Treasure Data
In terms of query speed and performance, Google BigQuery and Snowflake offer better performance at a lower cost. BigQuery's pricing on just the data scanned rather than cost of computation is far more attractive than Treasure Data's current model. We've selected Treasure Data …
Chose Treasure Data
Based on my experience, the most striking difference between the two platforms are the way their data models are organized.
Agilone (now part of Acquia) has a very hard/strict requirement for integration with the source systems as we need to conform/adhere to their …
Chose Treasure Data
While Google BigQuery is an excellent data warehouse, it does not have all of the functionality of Treasure Data. Treasure Data's components make unifying and activating segments much easier.
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data stacks up very well against its competitors. It is a highly scalable tool with great support. The reason we went ahead with Treasure Data is that it has good customizations and AI capabilities. With machine learning and AI becoming more and more important every …
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data provides a combination of out of the box connectors, end to end functionality (Ingestion, Storage, Interactive Querying, Workflows and outputs all in one place) that no other solution we've found seems to do well. The fully managed nature of Workflow, combined …
Chose Treasure Data
Treasure Data is more cost effective than Leanplum, has more functionality then Mode or App Annie, although not as user-friendly or provides as many tools for analysis. As a data ingestion tool, Treasure Data we believe gave us the best bang for our buck. Our development …
Chose Treasure Data
This is where everything gets lost in translation. There is not a competitor that offers an end to end data services solution capable of managing etl , end-user adhoc usage, data delivery, warehousing, app sdk, WORKFLOW with digdag and so much more. Let’s not forget that all …

Snowflake Computing
I am over our HR data, and we use Workday for our HR management system. I have a script in place that runs reports on Workday and saves the results as CSVs. I can then use stages in Snowflake to insert these CSVs into Snowflake, then I can insert or truncate and replace these staged tables into a final schema. Then once these are in a schema I can reference them and build out my data models. In addition to ingesting CSVs, Snowflake has the ability to write a CSV file to our Amazon S3 bucket. Ingesting these CSVs, transforming the data, then delivering it to a destination would've involved so much more coding than my current process if we were on any other platform.

Cons
Snowflake Computing
  • This tool is very much technical and proper knowledge is required, so mostly you have to hire an IT team.
  • I wish if various videos could be available for basic quires like its initiation, then I think it would act as a guideline and would help the beginners a lot.

  • Documentation is not always fully update --> better off reaching to support for some topics that are not covered
  • Small bugs on the graphical user interface
  • If 2 people are editing on the same project simultaneously, the latter that saves the workflow overwrites the changes of the former one

SnowFlake is very cost effective and we also like the fact we can stop, start and spin up additional processing engines as we need to. We also like the fact that it's easy to connect our SQL IDEs to Snowflake and write our queries in the environment that we are used to

I do think that we definitely will be renewing. We are putting major resources, time, and effort into Treasure Data becoming an extension of our organization, in many ways. We are working toward complete synergies with this product and leadership is very excited about the direction we are heading to be completely customer-centric.

Usability
Snowflake Computing
The interface is similar to other SQL query systems I've used and is fairly easy to use. My only complaint is the syntax issues. Another thing is that the error messages are not always the easiest thing to understand, especially when you incorporate temp tables. Some of that is to be expected with any new database.

Treasure Data
It's a easy platform to use and give the user detailed logs about what is going on in the workflows, so someone that do not have a lot of experience can start to work with it. And also the master segment usability is awesome, as we can filter a lot of data the way we want.

Support Rating
Snowflake Computing
We have had terrific experiences with Snowflake support. They have drilled into queries and given us tremendous detail and helpful answers. In one case they even figured out how a particular product was interacting with Snowflake, via its queries, and gave us detail to go back to that product's vendor because the Snowflake support team identified a fault in its operation. We got it solved without lots of back-and-forth or finger-pointing because the Snowflake team gave such detailed information.

The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.

I have had the experience of using one more database management system at my previous workplace. What Snowflake provides is better user-friendly consoles, suggestions while writing a query, ease of access to connect to various BI platforms to analyze, [and a] more robust system to store a large amount of data. All these functionalities give the better edge to Snowflake.

We chose Treasure Data for the supreme customer service and lack of hidden costs. We don't need to manage any infrastructure or scale anything to meet customer demand. Treasure Data handles everything and makes it easy for us to integrate and focus on the tasks at hand. There may be cheaper options but we do not regret our decision to go with Treasure Data one bit.

Return on Investment
Snowflake Computing
  • Positive impact: we use Snowflake to track our subscription and payment charges, which we use for internal and investor reporting
  • Positive impact: 3 times faster query speed compared to Treasure Data means that answers to stakeholders can be delivered quicker by analysts
  • Positive impact: recommender systems now source their data from Snowflake rather than Spark clusters, improving development speed, and no longer require maintainence of Spark clusters.

  • We have built and supported our source of truth data tables using Treasure. This forms the foundation of our decision making.
  • Most of our Tableau data sources are created using a Treasure Data export which is executed by workflows on a daily basis which allows us to have visibility into day to day performance and communicate them to a wide variety of roles.
  • We load custom data into our Salesforce instance which allows us to trigger certain workflows and build accountability - i.e. a "Sale" will only count once a certain product driven event occurs which comes from data we pipe into Treasure and then into Salesforce.
