Navcharan Singh - PeerSpot reviewer
Assistent Seo Manager at RTDS
Have improved decision-making with effective reporting
Several positive aspects about the product stand out as advantages. Valuable insights can be gained from the unsampled reports available in the product. The cloud type needs to be specified whether it's public, private, or hybrid. The overall rating for Google Analytics 360 is 9 out of 10, where 10 represents the best product.
Garima Goel - PeerSpot reviewer
Associate Principal Engineer at Nagarro
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

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

Pros

"It allows us to understand where our traffic is coming from, where traffic is dropping off and how our AdWords campaigns are performing."
"Even though it's free, Google Analytics is packed with many of the same reports you'll find in high-priced solutions, especially concerning data relating to real-time visitor tracking."
"Once you get the hang of GA, you can really use it to your advantage."
"A solid choice for users who need simple, straightforward analytics, accessed through an easy to use interface."
"Provides us with useful data and analytics about website traffic, giving us information about how to make our web pages better."
"Google Analytics definitely provided a lot of data that is now available to everyone, and the easy to use interface and the ability to add custom segments allows everyone to carry out their own analysis and come up with insights."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"It helps with business intelligence by providing analytics that can be reported."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is the ability to control and manage the cost."
"The solution is completely managed and that's fantastic."
"The computational power of Snowflake is very good."
"It's cloud-based technology, so users can spin it up a lot faster"
"It is an all-in-one platform that provides the capabilities needed for various analytics tasks, including data warehousing for machine learning."
"We have experienced a 40 to 50% improvement in ROI compared to legacy systems."
"The performance has been good."
 

Cons

"An area where I would like to see improvement in Google Analytics is the auto-syncing of functions in Google Tag Manager into Goal tracking."
"Not the right product if you need detailed click stream analysis or integration with your firm's customer segmentation."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"Google stripped out search rankings with “not provided.” It upsets many who want to understand how well they are doing in searches."
"They can improve their Android app."
"Additionally, Google Analytics can be hard to pick up when you're just starting to use it."
"The technical support from Google has room for improvement."
"If you have a lot of computations, Snowflake becomes costlier."
"I don't see many drawbacks with Snowflake Analytics, but it's not as mature as other tools. It is evolving and needs to integrate various features, like data loading and analytics, better. These components are not fully connected, so the tool should become a more integrated application."
"One area that could benefit from enhancement is the user interface for more visual ESM features."
"The scheduling of jobs requires improvement, particularly in terms of the user interface which currently lacks certain features found in comparable platforms."
"Snowflake Analytics should probably have more built-in tools for master data management."
"The solution needs to consider including some updates in the future."
"Snowflake Analytics can improve the integration with machine learning tools and AI and it will make the solution more usable."
"The product's cost is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The installation cost is really low and does not require a team with a super performance to run."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a seven. The solution's pricing is high."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"Snowflake charges per query, which amounts to a very minor cost, such as $0.015 per query."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
"I have been using free trial version."
"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"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."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
