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

"As an SEO and digital marketing professional, the two features I have found the most valuable about Google Analytics are the Acquisition tracking and the Goal tracking."
"Since 2008, nearly every website I have worked on as an SEO and digital marketing professional has had Google Analytics deployed."
"I previously used WebTrends, but Google Analytics was more appealing because it was easy to setup, and it was available online for free."
"We found that the source and medium report is very useful when we are analyzing paid and organic campaign performance."
"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."
"In my opinion, Google Analytics fulfills the role it plays in a good way."
"With Google Analytics, we obtain different metrics from all of the clients that enter our web environment."
"Every online business needs to know where traffic is coming from and what it does when it gets to you."
"Features like the fact that the solution is very fast and available on the cloud are some of the valuable attributes of the solution."
"Very good flexibility and it offers computation completely decoupled from the storage."
"What we found most valuable in Snowflake Analytics are its attributes that are very convenient for business use such as data sharing, cloning, time travel, and fail-safe. It's a good product all in all."
"One of the distinctive features of Snowflake is its ability to handle large datasets efficiently."
"Snowflake Analytics is pretty easy to use with the connectors for integration with the tools and systems in my company."
"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."
"While we've done many complex implementations, Snowflake always has a way of simplifying things."
"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."
 

Cons

"While it provides a lot of data, the data is not always accurate. So data accuracy could definitely be improved."
"The technical support from Google has room for improvement."
"Beginner users access the live help section a lot, because of how confusing it is, so it would not be bad if the function was located within the administration section."
"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."
"Some spam data is messing up the analytics report; Google should remove spam data."
"If you do not use JavaScript, you will be invisible to Google Analytics. If you have the option of JavaScript disabled in your browsers, you will be invisible to the data, since the tool will not be able to register you."
"Sometimes, the statistics are not updated in real-time and it takes a little time. There are pages where it updates faster than others."
"It would be nice if Google Analytics provided all statistics, rather than a segment of the statistics."
"Navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when looking for details like the account ID."
"The tool should support EIM use cases. I guess the product is already working on it. I look forward to seeing inbuilt AI generative tools in the solution's future releases. The tool's price can be a little lower. The solution's on-premises support is also very limited. We have to rely on other support services to deploy it on-premises."
"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We haven't seen any areas that are lacking."
 

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."
"It's not costly if you configure it properly to ensure optimal performance. People don't configure it properly, which is why costs go up."
"The solution's price is high and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"The tool is quite expensive."
"Snowflake Analytics is a little more costly than Azure."
"It is an expensive solution, but the kind of usability and flexibility it proactively provides for the organizations justify the price."
"I have been using free trial version."
