What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?
Snowflake is a great tool for building server less data lakes. The tool has unique abilities to create and store DB objects, blobs and interfacing layers for building Analytics. The file extracts could be generated and uploaded on to downstream application layers.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The product has a nice interface and clearly defined role categorization. The grants of users to the objects and schemas could be restricted based on the roles. The product allows uses to build any number of objects sequentially or concurrently for building Data Lakes.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The product is not an open source and is licensed with a cost tag. The free version has very limited features that may not suffice the needs of a corporate.

Try to learn all the distinct features of the product. A hands on training from the snowflake webinars would expose a lot of dormant features that may easily be overlooked. A great product to work with.
