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 overall package is quite nice, and there is not one specific feature that I have found more valuable than the others."
"Snowflake is faster than on-premise systems and allows for variable compute power based on need."
"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."
"However, I would highly recommend it in terms of setting up data warehousing internally over an Azure solution, such as Synapse, or something else."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake is it's an all-in-one data warehousing solution."
"It was relatively easy to use, and it was easy for people to convert to it."
"This is the advanced version of the cloud version, so it's really a flexible tool. If you have it implemented at home, you can access it from anywhere."
"The syntax is advanced which reduces the time to write code."
 

Cons

"At the moment, the only improvement I see is deeper support for AI agents to support the developer's job."
"The current API is very limited and difficult to configure."
"Support needs improvement, as it can take several days before you get some initial support."
"Snowflake has to improve their spatial components since it doesn't have much in terms of geo-spatial queries."
"From the documentation, the black box is not very descriptive. Snowflake does not reveal how exactly the data is processed or sourced."
"Snowflake has to improve their spatial parts since it doesn't have much in terms of geo-spatial queries."
"Snowflake is very good overall, but it could improve documentation for supporting different structures."
"Its pricing or affordability is one of the big challenges. Pricing was the only thing that we didn't like about Snowflake. In terms of technical features, it is a complete solution."
"This solution could be improved by offering machine learning apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Currently, we have a trial account, so we don't need a license. After our project starts, we would need a permanent license."
"We're based on credits. So, we're paying four and a half dollars of credit. There are no additional costs. I would rate it a two out of five in terms of 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."
"The price of the solution is reasonable."
"Pricing can be confusing for customers."
"Snowflake is cost-effective."
"The whole licensing system is based on credit points. You can also make a license agreement with the company so that you buy credit points and then you use them. What you do not use in one year can be carried over to the next year."
"It is not cheap."
