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.

Daily restaurant dashboards have become faster and now support simultaneous team analytics
Some of the best features of Snowflake Analytics is how it is separated for compute and storage, which allows multiple teams to run queries without performance impact. Our project has more than nine or ten teams, so if a team is working on a particular dashboard and another team wants to work on Snowflake Analytics, they can easily work on it without disturbing the work of one team, ensuring that the work can be consistent and multiple users can use the tool simultaneously. This is one of the main features I appreciate about Snowflake Analytics.The other aspect is how the query performance is high due to its columnar storage and also automatic optimization, allowing for scaling down during weekdays when there is less data and scaling up during weekends or festivals when the data can be huge. Because of this automatic scaling, if there is less data, we are using only 5 GB instead of 10 GB, which reduces the storage level, and consequently, the cost can be reduced. This automatic scaling and optimization saves us a huge amount of money for our project. Snowflake Analytics has impacted our organization positively by providing faster query performance and better scalability. Previously, we faced issues with slow queries due to traditional systems, but within Snowflake, we can assign separate virtual warehouses for reporting as well as data processing, ensuring that it does not impact tool performance and does not delay reporting to business users. Analysts can run complex queries without affecting ETL workloads due to this separation, which has improved our speed of reporting, and our business users have expressed happiness due to how fast we are generating reports during peak hours.

Pros

"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 positively impacted our organization because we got a one-stop solution to track all different journeys, different dashboards, and different applications."
"I have seen a return on investment, having saved a lot of money and time."
"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."
"Glassbox has helped us save considerable money and time."
"Glassbox has reduced the turnaround time of customer incidents, and it is saving a lot of time and money for us."
"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."
"Glassbox is a tool I use all the time; it is one of our most popular tools."
"The Snowflake features I find most beneficial for data analysis are primarily related to analytics, particularly their features like materialized views and queues, which are especially useful for dashboarding purposes."
"In most cases, Snowflake improves our operational efficiency if we optimize the warehouse."
"It's not necessary to use a physical server."
"While we've done many complex implementations, Snowflake always has a way of simplifying things."
"One of the valuable features is the solution’s time travel capability. The solution is highly stable. The solution is highly scalable. The initial setup is straightforward, and the deployment process is quick and efficient. I recommend the solution. Overall, I rate it a perfect ten."
"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 can run complex workloads with varied compute."
"We have experienced a 40 to 50% improvement in ROI compared to legacy systems."
 

Cons

"Glassbox can be improved in various ways. I think performance and lag are areas needing improvements."
"Glassbox is powerful, but I think the user interface could be more intuitive for new users."
"One frustration I have experienced with Glassbox is that with large amounts of session data, it could sometimes take time to filter and narrow down the exact user journey I want to analyze."
"Glassbox can be improved because it is somewhat complex and there is a steep learning curve that requires training."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Glassbox is not the best when it comes to back-end data and capturing things such as server time and response time."
"The technical support is not very good."
"Snowflake's Snowpark is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"If you have a lot of computations, Snowflake becomes costlier."
"Machine learning in Snowflake isn't as advanced as in other products. I haven't heard of any successful industry-wide use cases of machine learning implemented in Snowflake. It might take a couple of years to reach the same level as Databricks."
"I would prefer Snowflake Analytics to improve their support response times, as sometimes the responses we receive are not very prompt and ticket assignments may not be timely."
"In my opinion, Snowflake Analytics can be improved by introducing more features, such as additional integration options."
"End-to-end execution of jobs isn't possible with Snowflake, which means we have to do some customization."
"We were experiencing errors while running reports and making connections."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Snowflake charges per query, which amounts to a very minor cost, such as $0.015 per query."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"I have been using free trial version."
"When using Snowflake, you pay based on your usage. They calculate how much CPU has been used. If you use excess warehouse storage, you are charged one credit per hour. If you are in Asia, you are charged $3 per credit. If you have 10 users running parallel with the same excess, you will be charged $30."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"Snowflake Analytics is a little more costly than Azure."
"The solution's pricing is affordable."
