Last year, over 800 people attended the Auckland edition of the Snowflake World Tour, demonstrating the ever-growing demand for well-managed data. With the rise of AI applications, quality, scalability, velocity and simplicity of data are ever more important. What is it that makes Snowflake the most popular cloud-based data platform solution?

Ease of use

Snowflake’s data platform stands out for its ease of operation, allowing businesses to benefit from the robust capabilities of a large-scale solution with the flexibility and elasticity of the cloud. The pay-as-you-go pricing model gives users the ability to track and control costs on a per-use-case basis. The platform is fully managed, which means clients can focus on the data, rather than wrestling with technical issues.

Extensive security and governance capabilities are built into the solution, which manage security, compliance, privacy, interoperability, and access to all your data and apps. The platform also provides users with the ability to develop and scale secure, data-intensive applications or AI/ML solutions without operational burden.

Snowflake's user-friendly interface, cost - effecitveness, speed and reliability have led to it achieving an overall Net Promoter Score of 72, which is more than three times the industry average of 21, positioning Snowflake at the top among SaaS businesses.
