Overall Satisfaction with Snowflake

The analytics and reporting team uses Snowflake as their primary Business Intelligence (BI) tool. Combined with several reporting and charting tools, Snowflake provides insight across all departments in the organisation. Snowflake helps provide the business with crucial analytical understanding of performance which, in turn, influences business strategy for the entire organisation.
  • Easy to set up and get running.
  • Great support.
  • Integrates well with Amazon AWS.
  • Charting features could be better.
  • Reporting tools are not very extensive, creating a need for combining with other tools like Tableau.
  • Data Warehouse entirely on the cloud might be a problem for some businesses.
  • Significantly improved the efficiency of analytics and reporting.
  • Performance of queries has gone up.
  • Allows for easy changes, making project timelines move faster.
Snowflake offers great customer support when compared to most other Software as a Service data warehouses. Moreover, having a data warehouse built entirely on the cloud makes it easier for teams working across different geographical locations to integrate their work. Additionally, Snowflake is also priced better when compared to other warehousing services.
Snowflake is the perfect data warehouse for a business that operates primarily on the cloud. Since Snowflake itself is a cloud based data warehouse, this makes integration very convenient. On the other hand, if a business operates using on-premise technology and is unable to integrate well with cloud based services, Snowflake can turn out to be a disastrous option.
