If you need a quick query, snowflake is the way to go. It's super simple and scalable; we were struggling before with Azure, and with Snowflake, everything runs smoothly, and we have more control over our schemas and warehouses. Snowflake, in my opinion, is the next step when you want to scale your business and manage data. If your company is still small, there may be cheaper options.
Any time you need to process and store very large volumes of data at scale, Treasure Data will aways be at the forefront of my mind. Especially if the data being handled is constantly changing or evolving, rigid schemas just wont do. Treasure Data has the ability to adapt as your product needs change over time. Having the storage and processing flexibility is a huge win.
Snowflake scales appropriately allowing you to manage expense for peak and off peak times for pulling and data retrieval and data centric processing jobs
Snowflake offers a marketplace solution that allows you to sell and subscribe to different data sources
Snowflake manages concurrency better in our trials than other premium competitors
Snowflake has little to no setup and ramp up time
Snowflake offers online training for various employee types
CDP provides a unified view of data from all touchpoints in the customer journey until a single customer uses the service. This feature is very helpful in making service decisions and direction.
It provides a variety of extensions to bring your data together in one place and helps you do this easily.
Kits provided by Treasure Box provide basic but helpful methods for further development of services.
Do not force customers to renew for same or higher amount to avoid loosing unused credits. Already paid credits should not expire (at least within a reasonable time frame), independent of renewal deal size.
Pricing is a bit of a black box. We are currently priced on split hour usage and some spikes come out of nowhere and leave us seeking answers (and sometimes finding unsatisfactory ones).
Some jobs will fail, causing workflows to be interrupted due to a product change or a one-time product related issue. We usually contact Support in these cases, and while they are incredibly responsive and helpful, it would be great to have more proactive communication.
Treasure's UI leaves us wanting more in terms of organization and controls, especially as we scale and grow the number of data sources, queries, and workflows.
SnowFlake is very cost effective and we also like the fact we can stop, start and spin up additional processing engines as we need to. We also like the fact that it's easy to connect our SQL IDEs to Snowflake and write our queries in the environment that we are used to
Because treasure data is a great platform with a great support team behind, it's a scalable solution that deals well with huge amounts of data every day and has a huge catalog of integrations that can be easily use to download data from several platforms, like aws s3, redshift, google bigquery.
The interface is similar to other SQL query systems I've used and is fairly easy to use. My only complaint is the syntax issues. Another thing is that the error messages are not always the easiest thing to understand, especially when you incorporate temp tables. Some of that is to be expected with any new database.
If you are a data person, you will likely understand the product and how to use it well. We did find that some of our queries run into memory issues though. If you are a marketer and want to build easy audience segments, I am not sure how easy it will be for you. We are still working through this.
As treasure data has a 24 hours support, every time we has big issues that impacts the zones, we do have immediatly support from the treasure data team, so I would say that we do not have any issues with availability
Since treasure data has started having a huge amount of data, sometimes we do have problems with the workflows logs because we generate a lot of then. But with integrations I have not to complain, its really easy to integrate with other platforms.
We have had terrific experiences with Snowflake support. They have drilled into queries and given us tremendous detail and helpful answers. In one case they even figured out how a particular product was interacting with Snowflake, via its queries, and gave us detail to go back to that product's vendor because the Snowflake support team identified a fault in its operation. We got it solved without lots of back-and-forth or finger-pointing because the Snowflake team gave such detailed information.
The technical team has a good hold on the nuances of the data related to our organization. I have found the online technical support on their site quite responsive including the L1 support. In cases where the L1 team isn't able to resolve, I have found they are prompt in getting the product team's input to get a quick resolution.
I wasnt here at the training in the start, but I had a few training with treasure data for a few functionalities, and they provided me god explanations and great documentations, eve if the project were in beta.
Snowflake provides various features, such as integration with Python using Snowpark. The reporting feature that caters to your small reporting needs is Snowsight. The Snowflake data marketplace is where you can get multiple data for free and even some of the data which you can buy according to your needs. And the integration options with various tools like Sigma are add-ons.
Both Tealium and Evergage are mostly focused on online sources. They don't have as easy or robust data model capability to ingest CRM, e-commerce, or offline data. Bluevenn has good identity resolution like TD, but the Unify data processes/model are not exposed to the customer to modify or develop data load workflows.
When there are Treasure Data updates, there might be old functions that are deprecated or existing functions which no longer work as before --> this may have impact on existing workflows/queries
As many developers are working on the same environment, the jobs are queued because there is a limited amount of computation cores available --> if we want to increase it, our client needs to pay for more cores
As data are increasing, some workflows are too expensive and need to be rethought / made more efficient --> this means re-designing existing workflows and also requires constant support from Treasure Data which analyzes the queries and identifies points of improvement that allows client to pay less
