I would definitely recommend to all who are considering it an option. From ease of use to results. Pros I really appreciate the ease of use. In the beginning of my data analyst role, Snowflake was straight forward in understanding Cons The only real issue I had was the data return limits but am not entirely sure if that was a Snowflake issue or company threshold. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Head of Data Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best data cloud for modern data platforms. " December 25, 2024 5.0 It is a great modern Data Cloud / Platform product for teams that don't want to spend time managing infrastructure. The SQL-first approach makes the onboarding time and learning curve for the product very very short. Pros Ease of use, reliability, speed of new feature roll-out, general quality of product. Cons Certain use cases are more difficult when it is not part of the "walled garden" approach. Cost can be high if not configured correctly.

Data Analyst Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great system, tough to interact with" March 16, 2026 4.0 Overall, the system has a good structure, but we have had a few experiences that have made our time with snowflake harder Pros Snowflake was super helpful automatically designing our necessary tables based on the data we uploaded. Having so many connections has been incredibly helpful to utilize our data wherever we need. Cons The most difficult part was trying to find the data in the new system. Some may to many tables did not import correctly and it was hard to find the right data Review Source VR Verified Reviewer System engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "How snowflake is different from other data warehouses present in the market." April 11, 2022 3.0 Used for monitoring large amount and data and also use for analysis purposes for taking business decisions for the companies. Pros The best thing is snowflake is a cloud based Warehouse system.and it’s completely based on shares nothing architecture so its gives faster performance during analysis.one more thing i like about this warehouse that the amount of time that you use the main warehouse here for that specific period of time you have to pay other than the warehouse is off for normal queries.particularly in dml statement mainly its uses the warehouse.so its manage automatically weather to use warehouse or not so it is very much good for saving money That’s why now big giants company are shifting towards snowflake for cost effective purposes and the smarter and faster performance it gives.and it also provides a feature call time travel where you can back up your all deleted data in a period of 90 days. Cons There are two things I don’t like about the snowflake is it’s doesn’t support unstructured data loading it’s only support the structure and semi structure data. And other one is it’s only support the bulk loading files so it’s difficult for a small size files loading or adding some few columns on it. Switched from [Vantage](https://www.capterra.com/p/133231/Teradata-Database/) Need more faster and cost effective warehouse for managing data and analysing the data that’s why sifted from teradata to snowflake.

It allows the rest of the company to manage their databases and tables to run reports and dashboards on their processes. Since we integrated it with Sigma Computing, we are able to pull data connections and run analysis pretty easy. Cons It does not provide a clear guide or manual on how to use it for our new hires to read and learn how to navigate it. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Senior Associate Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Powerful tool for data analysis " September 13, 2025 4.0 Pros The ability to query data in real time and the multitude of dimensions that can be analyzed using the system Cons The complexity of the UI when you first begin using it.

It made my work very easy and I liked that there were tutorials and suggested corrections. Cons I did not like having to switch between different user roles in order to access certain files, but I think this was because of my company. Review Source Pawan M. Software engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Snowflake's ease of use and excellent service!" March 12, 2022 5.0 I'm using snowflake since 6 months and my overall experience with it very good. It brings itself to the need of the market that I like the most.

They integrate flawlessly with our BI platform and allow for management by a 3rd party. Compute power is FAST and easily scalable. Cons Snowflake, like most, has its own dialect for SQL - not necessarily a bad thing but something to adjust to. There is no data cap, so data usage can get expensive. Alternatives considered [Amazon Redshift](https://www.capterra.com/p/227349/Amazon-Redshift/) Review Source Matthew C. Director, Professional Services Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Impressive product with a promising future" June 24, 2021 4.0 Overall, Snowflake has made managing, processing, aggregating and sharing data easier across the organization. It still has some work to do in terms of UI to make the user experience smoother, but the underlying technology at its core is solid and solves many issues with backups, data retention and overall user error in working with data. Pros The "Time Travel" aspect of Snowflake, being able to pick a point in time and see the state/contents of nearly any table is astonishing. Very useful and impressive feature. What is equally as impressive is the overall performance of the platform. I've worked with Oracle, DB2, MySQL, Vertica, Teradata, ParAccel, and others. Maybe not always in the most optimal configurations, but Snowflake's performance has been overall the best in my experience. Cons As a newer platform, there are certain convenience elements that Snowflake lacks. - No auto-complete of object names. - No "easy" import wizard to import data. - Some bugs with the browser-based interface (worksheets did not properly save). - Limited customizations to filter out the tables or objects you don't work with regularly. Always shows full list, oftentimes very large. Review Source MK Mahesh K. Lead Analyst Retail Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Data warehousing and computation as a cloud service" May 9, 2021 5.0 This really speeds up your sql computation, since we can use different computation warehouse on a same datasource, which distributes the load, it is a great experience with Snowflake Pros This is a cloud database and warehousing service, the syntax of snowflake is like psql, they have a good community support and good documentations for all the queries, they are faster than traditional databases, and the are charged separately for compute power and the storage space , which makes it usable in a flexible cost effective manor, good support team, always respond and try to resolve the issues if any was reported, and also helped us identify any cost saving scope Cons The System esoterically shows outage, these type of outages are informed to use by the support team, and they resolve it quickly, a minute potion of the syntax of sql is slightly different from psql, which makes it hard to migrate the application from different psql service providers Review Source Subramanian S. Senior Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "High Performance Cloud Data DWH" December 7, 2022 5.0 Earlier we used to have datawarehouse refreshed once a day.Now we are refreshing once every hour.Auto scale up facilities.

Having the ability to use SQL to query huge data sets is revolutionary. Pros Big Data with Simple SQL - it is amazing how easy this product is to use but still as the horsepower to process billions of rows of data without a sweat. The separation of storage-compute and cloud provider agnostic environment support is the best. Cons Snowflake is expensive if used "incorrectly". Users need to be extremely skilled to be able to reduce cost on the platform and use virtual WHs appropriately. Review Source EQ Edwin Q.
