9 /10

What differentiates Snowflake from other similar products?

Snowflake is very powerful and very easy to use. Its SQL dialect is very flexible, and the kinds of integrations it supports is really impressive.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Snowflake SQL is a delight to work with.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Snowflake can be very expensive, and requires a significant level of governance to ensure that costs are kept under control. I found it much easier to control BigQuery costs.
