BUILDERS
“
Snowflake was the only alternative that was cost effective, scales very well, and is very easy to maintain.
”
Vikram Kapoor
CIO, Lacework
“
We were able to just stand up Snowflake, pump raw JSON directly into it, and run queries against huge data sets. We didn't need a team of engineers, keeping a Hadoop environment running.
”
Jay White
Director of Software Engineering, Blackboard
“
Working with Snowflake makes it possible for us to keep data quality extraordinarily high while still being performant and cost effective, which is totally unique.
