Transformation in data querying speed with good migration capabilities

Snowflake is a data lake on the cloud where all processing happens in memory, resulting in very fast query responses. One key feature is the separation of compute and storage, which eliminates storage limitations. It also has tools for migrating data from legacy databases like Oracle. Its stability and efficiency enhance performance greatly. Tools in the AI/ML marketplace are readily available without needing development.

Standout features are real-time dashboards and powerful aggregation

This product has a powerful aggregating feature which is great. It also has its own APIs. Whenever the data comes in, it can be streamed out anywhere. It's the only solution that provides real-time dashboards. Tableau doesn't have this feature. The three variants of historical data, real-time data and predicted data from Spitfire, give more strength to LiveDatamart without any dependency on other products. The product is easy to set up with very low maintenance required.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Snowflake is faster than on-premise systems and allows for variable compute power based on need."

"Snowflake is a database, and it is very good and useful. The most interesting part is that memory management is very good in Snowflake. For a business intelligence project, SQL Server is taking a lot of time for reporting services. There are a lot of calculations, and the reporting time is shown as two minutes, whereas Snowflake is taking just two seconds for the same reporting services."

"The platform's most valuable features include its ability to effectively summarize and manage large datasets, allowing multiple teams to analyze and generate insights."

"The solution speeds up the process of onboarding."

"This solution has helped our organization by being easy to maintain and having good technical support."

"It helped us to build MVP (minimum viable product) for our idea of building a data warehouse model for small businesses."

"It is quite easy to manage."

"Everything is automatic, and I don't have to do any maintenance."

More Snowflake pros

"The solution has a powerful aggregating feature"

"You can create your own rules that include mathematic calculations."

Cons

"The cost is a bit high."

"Improvement is needed in integrating external tools, such as data catalogs, which can be complicated due to differing formats and usage across departments."

"Every product has room for improvement, although in this case, it needs some broadening of the functionality."

"The data sharing capabilities across business units within the organization should be better."

"In a future release we would like to have a link which would allow us to connect to an external database and create certain views in your own database. This is because it is becoming hard for us to compare the data between multiple sources."

"For the Snowflake database, there should be some third-party features for the ETL. It would also be good to be able to use some kind of controls to get the data either from another database or a flat file. Its price should be improved. It should be cheaper than Microsoft."

"Getting data out of the tool to third-party applications is difficult."

"I am still in the learning stage. It has good security, but it can always be more secure."

More Snowflake cons

"Improvements need to be made on the load balancing side."

"The solution's setup could be quicker and easier."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is costly, making it unsuitable for midsize organizations due to its price."

"It is per credit. It has a use-it-as-you-go model. We bought a chunk of 20,000 credits, and they were lasting us for at least a year. We didn't have the scale of data like a much larger company to consume more credits. For us, it was very inexpensive. Their strategy is just to leverage what you've got and put Snowflake in the middle. It doesn't make it expensive because most of the organizations already have reporting tools. Now, if you were starting from scratch, it might be cheaper to go a different way."

"The price of Snowflake is very reasonable."

"You pay based on the data that you are storing in the data warehouse and there are no maintenance costs."

"The price for the solution's license depends on the use cases."

"Snowflake’s pricing is transparent. It is one of the cheapest cloud database warehouse providers. The tool follows a credit cost model. Everything on Snowflake is charged on the basis of credits. The credits depend on the cloud region and the public cloud provider that we use. Hence, the cost per credit will be different for AWS in Frankfurt and AWS in India. I think North Virginia is the cheapest region in terms of cost per credit. You will be consuming around 16 credits for large data warehouses."

"Snowflake goes by credits. For a financial institution where you have 5,000 employees, monthly costs may run up to maybe $5,000 to $6,000. This is actually based on the usage. It is mostly the compute cost. Your computing cost is the variable that is actually based on your usage. It is pay-per-use. In a pay-per-use case, you won't be spending more than $6,000 to $7,000 a month. It is not more than that for a small or medium enterprise, and it may come down to $100K per year. Storage is very standard, which is $23 a terabyte. It is not much for any enterprise. If you have even 20 terabytes, you are not spending more than $400 per month, which may turn out to be $2,000 to $3,000 per annum."

"There is a licensing for this solution and we purchased an enterprise license. Overall the solution is cost-effective."
