James Dascole - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager at Charter Communications
Customer journeys have become clearer and real-time insights now highlight needed reporting improvements
One improvement I want to mention is that the way I had Glassbox set up was through the data layer; I am a technical person, so I used a Google Dev screen to search within Glassbox for segments rather than using the Adobe API connection, which I think would have been preferable since others have reported better success with that. I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier.

Have created secure cloud-based data lakes and improved real-time data processing using integrated AI features
There are many capabilities which Snowflake Analytics offers that I find valuable, such as the storage and compute engine that allows working with any cloud system such as AWS or Azure, alongside its efficiencies in storage computation and cost-effectiveness, which saves money compared to on-premise systems. We also have features such as pre-cached results, Time Travel, and fail-safe, which are very useful for restoring data if deleted accidentally, and the streams and data pipes that facilitate real-time ingestion are great features as well. Snowflake Analytics offers multiple new connectors, allowing me to connect it with Kafka, and with Snowpark, I can work with any programming language such as Python, Java, or Scala for data processing and analysis. The data sharing feature offered by Snowflake Analytics is good because it allows sharing specific sets of data to end customers or users from different Snowflake Analytics accounts without exposing the entire dataset for data security reasons. Snowflake Analytics' support for machine learning models and real-time insights has enhanced significantly. Originally, it wasn't strong in AI/ML, but now it has multiple models and forecasting capabilities, providing good competition to tools such as Databricks and Spark. In BI, I have worked majorly with Microsoft Power BI, and the integration with Snowflake Analytics is very easy. The way we integrate Snowflake Analytics with other on-premise systems just requires the warehouse details, username, passwords, and the account name, along with multiple options such as client ID and credentials for logging in and creating a session. The end-to-end encryption provided by Snowflake Analytics is very important because, in my previous firm, working in finance and investment management, data encryption is necessary due to the sensitive nature of customer data and the involvement of people's money. It's crucial to have encryption in transit and at rest, along with data masking features which Snowflake Analytics offers.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"Glassbox positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"I have noted a return on investment since employees previously took two days to manually identify data, but now they complete the same work within four hours thanks to Glassbox, which reduces working hours and translates into cost savings for us."
"One of the biggest benefits of using Glassbox is faster issue identification and better visibility into customer experience problems."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"One specific outcome I can share about Glassbox is a decrease in customer complaints because as soon as I catch an issue, as soon as there is an event where a particular issue is occurring and it crosses the threshold, the system sends an event and I can check that user session to see what is happening and address that issue immediately and resolve it."
"Glassbox is a tool I use all the time; it is one of our most popular tools."
"The customer support is nice; we have a quite strict partnership with continuous feedback, workshops, and they are listening to us because the client is quite important, so it is fine."
"Snowflake Analytics has positively impacted our organization by saving about eight to ten hours per week, which we can use for advanced analytics and automation tasks."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"Snowflake Analytics has played a major role in improving our data model transformations, increasing our productivity by allowing us to do things very quickly and receive results rapidly, and reducing the time and effort required for coding compared to traditional methods and Python."
"Scaling is very high – there's no problem for scaling purposes. The learning curve is very small. And there are a lot of advanced features like handling duplicates, security, data governance, data sharing, and data cloning."
"The advanced features like time travel, zero copy cloning and scalability have been most useful. Snowflake requires zero maintenance for Data Warehousing on the cloud system."
"Snowflake Analytics is pretty easy to use with the connectors for integration with the tools and systems in my company."
"The performance has been good."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"Glassbox is powerful, but I think the user interface could be more intuitive for new users."
"Glassbox is not stable in my experience. Glassbox often has downtime and technical issues; reports are not loading and there are login errors."
"I give Glassbox a seven because I would have preferred it connected through Adobe rather than through the data layer, which complicates training for non-technical staff to build custom reports; having the Adobe API set up would have made finding Adobe segments easier."
"There are sometimes issues with Glassbox itself where some alerts do not get captured or the GIA integration does not show correct results, but it is being learned and improving."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Glassbox is not the best when it comes to back-end data and capturing things such as server time and response time."
"I choose a seven because, despite helping in user behavior and error counting, session replays have been a significant pain point for me, and UI navigation can become complex."
"Many customers face issues with the expenses on Snowflake. The pricing visibility is complex."
"Navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when looking for details like the account ID."
"Snowflake should include a WHERE clause for building data pipelines."
"The solution’s scalability could be improved."
"The platform could work easier for AI implementation compared to one of its competitors."
"Machine learning should be improved."
"Snowflake Analytics should probably have more built-in tools for master data management."
"AIML-based SQL prompt and query generation could be an area for enhancement."
