“With the right administration, I've seen Snowflake implementations of mine cut cost to run on a monthly expense in the area of $75k per month. … Too many tiers with different credit allotments for cost to run No ability to go down in tiers easily if you select a higher tier, but there is an easy way to upgrade to a higher tier level!”

“The confluence of streaming and batch processing at a pay-as-you-go pricing model aids in being intelligent and efficient on budget planning and use. … Elastic scale semi structured storage support pay as you go pricing.”

“AI capabilities: not much in terms of integrated machine learning or AI workflow capabilities Relative cost: you get what you pay for, but it is relatively more expensive than some other options.”

“I can't speak to ROI as I can't see the numbers, but my Sr. Director is thrilled with the cost.”

“Bigquery in particular has a low upfront cost and a better pricing model.”

“Very expensive Needs to compute more to efficiently and cost-effectively deliver the data (needs to know your access patterns) Query history is tricky to play with and system catalog views are either...”

“Given this, the price by query estimate becomes an important pricing consideration.”

“speed could still be faster without requiring more compute cheaper cost more robust sql editor.”

“It's easier to manage, in many cases faster, and in almost all cases it is less expensive because of the ability to automatically resume and suspend depending on usage.”

“On the downside, this is definitely more expensive than our previous software.”

“Snowflake is the data warehouse built for the cloud, enabling the data-driven enterprise with instant elasticity, secure data sharing, and per-second pricing.”
