Provides good data ingestion capability, but should include more AI capabilities
The solution's integration aspect is good, and all the connectors are in place. I found Snowflake similar to RDS. We use it for both data in motion and data in transit. It looks like the tool handles the data quite securely. We create ETL patterns. We ingest data from different source systems, and we have to create data pipelines. It would be useful if we could have AI features added to identify what I'm going to do with this data. It would be good if it could look at the data and help me create an automated pipeline instead of me creating a pipeline by myself. I'm from a retail background. I completed my Oracle DBA training a long time ago, about 18 years ago. I was quite familiar with the Snowflake and relational database concepts since I had already completed the Oracle ops, DBA ops, OCP, and OPA courses. For me, it was a journey similar to when I shifted from Oracle RDS to Snowflake. Although I was quite familiar with most of the concepts, there were some learnings. Whosoever is in the data field should at least try Snowflake once. They will then realize the best features in the solution and can continue using it. Overall, I rate the solution a seven out of ten.

Users can effortlessly create tables and manage data, even without utilizing the graphical interface
The initial setup is difficult due to the lack of detailed documentation. While the documentation provides a high-level overview, it lacks the specific instructions needed for setup. We relied on assistance from the Treasure Data team, including their support team, to navigate the process. Additionally, various policies to consider further complicate the setup, which ultimately requires time. We handle a large volume of data, and ensuring everything runs smoothly is crucial. Previously, it would take three to four months for one deployment due to the need to create workflows, conduct functional and comprehensive testing to ensure everything works seamlessly, and then proceed with delivery.

Quotes from Members

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's pricing is based on the number of queries you want on your database. The cost is small. To get the tool's pricing, you can do the math based on the cost per query, which is $0.002. If you're running your queries frequently, your charges will be higher than running fewer queries."
"The price of Snowflake is very reasonable."
"The solution is expensive but worth the cost because the quality is there."
"Part of the problem with the pricing is that it is very difficult for businesses to get an idea of how expensive it might be until they actually start using Snowflake."
"I am not much aware of the price, but based on what I have analyzed so far, its cost is reasonable as compared to on-prem data warehouse solutions. It provides a great deal for production."
"There is a licensing for this solution and we purchased an enterprise license. Overall the solution is cost-effective."
"The solution is costly, making it unsuitable for midsize organizations due to its price."
"The whole licensing system is based on credit points. You can also make a license agreement with the company so that you buy credit points and then you use them. What you do not use in one year can be carried over to the next year."
