Featured Reviews

Suraj Chandak - PeerSpot reviewer
Used for reporting and monitoring purposes and to check the business KPIs
We take real-time decisions based on the solution's charts. We get an automated email from the solution in our mailbox so that we can particularly only check those error reports into Amplitude. If an end user gets an error while trying to do a transaction, we get alerts from the solution. I would recommend the solution to other users. Amplitude is a very easy-to-use and user-friendly tool. It allows us to create charts, demonstrate data, and view it effectively. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
KamleshPant - PeerSpot reviewer
Data ecosystem thrives with advanced governance and streaming capabilities
It is a data offering where I can see data lineage, data governance, and data security. Snowflake has a streaming capability to work with real-time streaming data and delta tables. Additionally, task management, job scheduling, and connecting multiple data sources unify my data across internal and external sources. The system ecosystem for analytics is enhanced, and AI capabilities are incorporated.

Pros

"I loved using Amplitude because it allowed me to dive deep into product usage and analyze different customer segments."
"Other areas like cohort analysis, defining key events, and user properties were also well-suited for Amplitude. It is an easy tool to use."
"Amplitude offers flexibility in real-time data analysis, allowing users to make immediate decisions."
"We can create charts and bar charts for visualization purposes and check real-time data with the solution."
"The most important feature is the warehouse functionality."
"Its performance speed is very good."
"The most valuable feature of Snowflake Analytics is the ability to control and manage the cost."
"Scaling is very high – there's no problem for scaling purposes. The learning curve is very small. And there are a lot of advanced features like handling duplicates, security, data governance, data sharing, and data cloning."
"The computational power of Snowflake is very good."
"Considering everything I have accessed, the product's dashboard is good since it provides multiple good options, including customization options."
"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."
"One of the distinctive features of Snowflake is its ability to handle large datasets efficiently."
 

Cons

"We have seen tagging issues with Amplitude in rare scenarios, which can be improved."
"The visualization of the properties can also be enhanced. Basically, the visualization could be better, and the real-time analytics can be enhanced."
"The free features in Amplitude Analytics need enhancement."
"Setting up reports in Amplitude was challenging for me as a newer user."
"Navigating the user console can be challenging, particularly when looking for details like the account ID."
"The UI could be more user-friendly."
"The platform could work easier for AI implementation compared to one of its competitors."
"Snowflake should include a WHERE clause for building data pipelines."
"The UI must be improved."
"The solution’s interface is good but it could be improved."
"I cannot comment on the product's stability because we are still struggling with its performance."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing is a little on the higher end, especially when considering scalability."
"The pricing is on the higher side."
"The cost of Snowflake Analytics is low, any small organization can use it."
"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 tool is quite expensive."
"I rate the product price a seven on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
"Snowflake Analytics is a little more costly than Azure."
"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."
