We utilize Time Travel with Snowflake because this is a very useful feature. Everyone finds it crucial because in conventional data platforms, it's very difficult to handle these kinds of things. This feature is essential, though I don't have the use cases currently; it is just there for implementation. Regarding Snowflake's automated scaling and suspension features, this auto-scaling is very significant. We had a comparison with Databricks and Snowflake a few months back, and this auto-scaling takes an edge within Snowflake; that's what our observation reflects.

the most useful feature of the product is object imaging. It is the champion in the world of RDBMS.
Although they already have patches to address the instability of CORV (Create or Replace Views) CASCADE, I believe this is the area that should receive most attention. I am, however, still not sure if the patch has officially been recognised and deployed as part of their version updates. There are a few critical issues/bugs that we have experienced on our production environment, which required intervention from Kognitio. As one of Kognitio's biggest clients, their response times were quick and patches were also quick to be released to address production issues. Also, slabs management seems to be, or can be, a very hands-on tasks especially when reaching its capacity. It will be every WX2/KAP developer’s or DBA’s paradise if the product can be configured in this area to be fully/semi-automated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Snowflake is it's an all-in-one data warehousing solution."
"Snowflake is the latest technology, it has great flexibility whenever we are loading data and performs ELT (extract, load, transform) techniques instead of ETL."
"It's ultra-fast at handling queries, which is what we find very convenient."
"The overall ecosystem was easy to manage. Given that we weren't a very highly technical group, it was preferable to other things we looked at because it could do all of the cloud tunings. It can tune your data warehouse to an appropriate size for controlled billing, resume and sleep functions, and all such things. It was much more simple than doing native Azure or AWS development. It was stable, and their support was also perfect. It was also very easy to deploy. It was one of those rare times where they did exactly what they said they could do."
"Snowflake has improved our organization by powering company-wide dashboards that functions use to understand and manage their business."
"The initial setup is very simple."
"From a user's standpoint, it is a good product."
"Snowflake is faster than on-premise systems and allows for variable compute power based on need."
"In the world of RDBMS, WX2/KAP is, I believe, the champion, or should be if not already!"
 

Cons

"In future releases, it can also support full unstructured data."
"Snowflake needs transparency over costs and pricing."
"Getting data out of the tool to third-party applications is difficult."
"I don't think that the AI tools in Snowflake are good."
"Snowflake could improve if they had an Operational Data Store(ODS) space."
"They do have a native connector to connect with integration tools for loading data, but it would be much better to have the functionality built-in."
"This solution could be improved by offering machine learning apps."
"Product activation queries can't be changed while executing."
"It does not have the robustness or stability like of Oracle or Teradata; the upper right quadrant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing for Snowflake is competitive."
"I have not been billed yet, but it should be less. I'm still running the trial version, but it seems to be less than Databricks."
"They give a different price for every single company. I don't know if I negotiated that well, but we got the enterprise tier for $3 a credit, and the other two were a dollar-ninety a credit. I suspect we don't have almost zero compute usage, but I know that our annual contract packages are below all of their minimums."
"On average, with the number of queries that we run, we pay approximately $200 USD per month."
"Snowflake has consumption-based costs; users only pay for storage and computing."
"The price for the solution's license depends on the use cases."
"You pay based on the data that you are storing in the data warehouse and there are no maintenance costs."
"You need to be aware of the bloating costs. It is easy to use, but if you don't use it wisely, then your monthly bill can bloat a lot. You need to be a bit aware of its consumption cost."
