Demystifying the data and AI platform decision
Choosing a data and AI platform is one of the most vital decisions any company can make — and there are many factors to consider.
Organizations powering global society depend on secure, reliable and interoperable data to make critical decisions in real time — from securing investment portfolios and national infrastructure to diagnosing diseases and business bottlenecks.
Organizations across regions and industries are choosing Snowflake as their partner in the agentic era. From protecting sensitive data at scale in minutes (OM1) to cutting costs in half (Moser Consulting), business and technological leaders continue to select a data and AI platform that aligns with their goals. Whether it's eliminating data inconsistency and system failures (Guitar Center) or improving customer satisfaction (Coinbase), global companies are redefining what's possible with the right ecosystem.
Because we moved to Snowflake's simple, easy-to-use environment, we've saved 50% in infrastructure costs and 20% of the team's time. We're reinvesting these savings into our platform so we can add new features faster to better attract and serve clients.”

Soaring savings — not surging costs
While today's AI innovation may be vital to tomorrow's success, AI adoption costs can far exceed traditional software. These mushrooming expenses, combined with skill-intensive implementation, can create a compounding challenge for companies that find themselves stuck on complex platforms that lack cost governance — and demand constant, manual optimization.
With enterprise-readiness in mind, some customers have reported post-migration savings of up to 50-70%¹ using Snowflake's powerful, built-in optimizations.
The value of moving to Snowflake
75% less spend on sensitive data redaction via Snowpark
65% cost savings by migrating from Databricks
70% lower costs through platform consolidation
Having everything in one place where you don't have to worry about security and governance is such a productivity enabler. It's a win on both sides."

Reliability at scale — not broken pipelines
Downtime isn't an option for your business — and it shouldn't be for your data platform either. Enterprise-grade uptime with built-in business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) is vital to staying up and running when the unexpected strikes.
With these principles in mind, Snowflake offers a 99.99% service-level agreement (SLA)² with native, managed disaster recovery for data objects and pipelines across regions and clouds. These capabilities help critical workflows stay online around the clock — even during disruptions like a major outage.

Peace of mind and built-in governance — not bolted-on security
Every company needs to protect and control its data, especially with the rise of AI-driven risks like prompt injection, data poisoning and agents that act like autonomous users. Now more than ever, it's essential to ensure that only authorized users have access to sensitive and proprietary information at the right place and time. When threats do arise, the ability to prevent, detect and recover from cyberattacks depends on security and governance that's built in, not bolted on.
Security and governance have been foundational to Snowflake since Day 1. The Snowflake AI Data Cloud's comprehensive, out-of-the-box security and governance controls are designed to help protect the most critical data and workloads — the foundation of any business' reputation and bottom line.
Snowflake was pitched as a partnership — and it is a partnership. We have been so happy we made the switch.”
