Featured Reviews

Jacques Du Preez - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good user interface and easy to navigate
Our experience is mainly around using Snowflake Data Cloud with Matillion. And the two of them combined, offer superior performance and price point benefits. Using them together is very efficient because Matillion's processing and Snowflake's own scalability and consumption based on pushing down code work well together. They are very efficient. We've used Azure Data Factory (ADF) for integration. So that's an alternative, depending on customer choice for the integration. And then on AWS, a few of the other services, like Terraform, and S3 storage, and that's about it. It's on a case-by-case basis. If they've chosen ADF as a technology, then we implement using that choice.
Snehasish Das - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
