How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

Scalable big data and integration for any business
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?
Snowflake provides web-based easy management tools and big data capability that is unparalleled in the industry. The competitors I have seen have extremely complicated setups that require a lot of training. My team had a couple hours of training, and we were off and running and have built an entire BI and Analytics team around the product.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The truly scalable nature of the product allows any size organization to get access to industry-leading technology at a scaled price. My company is a fairly small higher education institution, and because we only pay for what we use, we are able to get the absolute best database platform without having huge licensing fees or hardware/software infrastructure.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We are on the east coast, and Snowflake releases all of the update to the west cost LONG before the east coast can have access. It's sometimes months before we can use new features that others can use.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
You should absolutely proceed. It's very easy to set up an account and just try it for little or no cost. If you know any SQL at all, you can be up and running very quickly.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Enables Productivity
Cons
- Vendor Friendly Policies
- Less Efficient Service
- Security Frustrates
