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."
"It is a very good platform. It can handle structured and semi-structured data, and it can be used for your data warehouse or data lake. It can load and deal with any data that you have. It can extract data from an on-premises database or a website and make it available in the cloud. It has very fast implementation and integration as compared to other solutions. There is no need for the DBA to manage or do the day-to-day DBA tasks, which is one of the greatest things about it."
"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 efficient way for real-time dashboards or analytical business intelligence reports to be sent to the customer."
"Its performance is most valuable. As compared to SQL Server, we are able to see a significant improvement in performance with Snowflake."
"Snowflake is a great solution if you have substantial data volume."
"Snowflake has improved my organization because of its high performance compared to the old way we used to operate with Microsoft SQL Server."
"The Mbps they have established is quite a bit faster than any other data warehouse."
"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."
 

Cons

"At the moment, the only improvement I see is deeper support for AI agents to support the developer's job."
"The scheduling system can definitely be better because we had to use external airflow for that."
"Their UiPath, the workspace area, needs some work."
"Maybe there could be some more connectors to other systems, but this is what they are constantly developing anyway."
"They need to improve its ETL functionality so that Snowflake becomes an ETL product."
"Improvement is needed in integrating external tools, such as data catalogs, which can be complicated due to differing formats and usage across departments."
"Snowflake has to build more capabilities because they have only built very few adapters, but they're growing and they're building. They should provide provisions to collect ETL pipeline capabilities, reduce developer work, and make more rapid application development, rather than some customizations. There are very few options, but they are building. I hope they will build ETL rapid application development provisions with more variety."
"Availability is a problem."
"This solution could be improved by offering machine learning apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."
"Snowflake has consumption-based costs; users only pay for storage and computing."
"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."
"Pricing is based on usage. It is the most expensive of our data tools."
"Oracle is less expensive than Snowflake."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of queries you want on your database. The cost is small. To get the tool's pricing, you can do the math based on the cost per query, which is $0.002. If you're running your queries frequently, your charges will be higher than running fewer queries."
"It is not cheap."
