Low-code pipelines have accelerated team collaboration and simplified CI/CD development
Developers can share within Coalesce.io. I would rate Coalesce.io as nine out of ten. We do not track any metrics at the moment. Coalesce.io is deployed in a private cloud. When Coalesce.io needs to be updated or maintained, we must declare the maintenance window. We cannot use the tool during maintenance, but we try to keep maintenance time low to prevent any issues. I don't have much information about security features. Coalesce.io offers capabilities that we managed to use, but we also use external tools. The Coalesce.io integration was planned to be smooth because before it, we used another tool, so we had to migrate what we had on the previous tool to Coalesce.io and then switch off when everything was done. I suggest Coalesce.io to everyone who wants a collaborative environment deeply integrated with Snowflake that supports developers in their job.

We utilize Time Travel with Snowflake because this is a very useful feature. Everyone finds it crucial because in conventional data platforms, it's very difficult to handle these kinds of things. This feature is essential, though I don't have the use cases currently; it is just there for implementation. Regarding Snowflake's automated scaling and suspension features, this auto-scaling is very significant. We had a comparison with Databricks and Snowflake a few months back, and this auto-scaling takes an edge within Snowflake; that's what our observation reflects.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Coalesce.io has impacted our organization positively by providing a low-code approach, supporting different sources so we don't need to write custom code, and offering a collaborative tool suitable for teams with a large number of developers."
"The most valuable feature has been the Snowflake data sharing and dynamic data masking."
"Can be leveraged with respect to better performance, auto tuning and competition."
"It is very fast and the performance is great."
"It is quite easy to manage."
"The distributed architecture of Snowflake has the capacity to process huge datasets faster and allows us to scale up and down according to our needs."
"As long as you don't need to worry about the storage or cost, this solution would be one of the best ones on the market for scalability purposes."
"The adaptation to development languages is most valuable. Our developers can SQL code or something else. It has been convenient in that regard."
"The integration capabilities of the product are good and you get what you pay for when it comes to Snowflake."
 

Cons

"At the moment, the only improvement I see is deeper support for AI agents to support the developer's job."
"To ensure the proper functioning of Snowflake as an MDS, it relies heavily on other partner tools."
"The user interface continues to be an issue, especially when we need to get data out of Snowflake. It's very easy to get data in, but it's not too easy to get it out or extract it."
"If they could bring in some tools for data integration, it would be really great."
"They don't have any SLAs in place. It would be better if they did."
"For the Snowflake database, there should be some third-party features for the ETL. It would also be good to be able to use some kind of controls to get the data either from another database or a flat file. Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."
"The cost of the solution could be reduced."
"Getting data out of the tool to third-party applications is difficult."
"The billing doubles with size increase, but processing does not necessarily speed up accordingly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is costly, making it unsuitable for midsize organizations due to its price."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Pricing is based on usage. It is the most expensive of our data tools."
"The pricing part is based on the computing and storage. The costs are different and then there are services costs as well."
"There is a license needed to use this solution. There are a few licensing options available. They have a pay-as-you-go option, but it is recommended to pay upfront."
"I have worked with multiple clouds, and cost-wise, it is a bit costlier than others, such as Redshift. Its price should be reduced."
"The pricing is economical as compared to traditional solutions like Oracle and competitive pricing."
"Snowflake is cost-effective. However, the cost can depend on how it's being used and how efficiently the code is written. If engineers don't write efficient code and usage is billed based on processing, it can become costly. If they write optimal code and choose the best solution, it can reduce costs in comparison to other options, such as Oracle."
