What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?
What differentiates Snowflake is the fact that the data warehousing solution it offers is data agnostic and enables a complete end-to-end consolidation of all data products in a single scalable product. Snowflake also stands out as being one of the most affordable options out there, enabling both small and large organizations to aggregate and leverage their data for analytics and decision making.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Auto Suspend is my favorite feature of Snowflake because it allows me to set an hourly limit to how much I want to spend for data warehousing. Uploading data into Snowflake is a fast and straightforward process with only 2 clicks needed. The data loading times are fast and it's available to be used immediately. Worksheets in Snowflake enable me to quickly pull relevant data into a table using SQL which can then be used for data analysis and reporting.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The UI could be updated so to a bit more modern and user-friendly, but otherwise, I have nothing that I dislike about the product!
