Overview

Product Information on Snowflake AI Data Cloud

Updated 13th October 2025

What is Snowflake AI Data Cloud?

Snowflake AI Data Cloud is a software designed to support organizations in storing, integrating, and analyzing structured and semi-structured data. The software facilitates secure data sharing and collaboration across teams and partners while enabling the deployment of machine learning and artificial intelligence workflows directly on cloud-based data. Snowflake AI Data Cloud provides features for data warehousing, data engineering, data lakes, and advanced analytics, addressing business challenges around unifying data silos, managing large volumes of information, and delivering insights with flexibility and scalability. The software supports multiple programming languages and tools, while offering data governance, compliance controls, and automation capabilities, enabling organizations to streamline their data operations and empower decision-making through real-time analysis and AI-powered applications.

Snowflake AI Data Cloud Pricing

Snowflake AI Data Cloud software adopts a consumption-based pricing model where charges are determined by the volume of compute resources utilized and the amount of data stored or transferred. Pricing varies depending on edition and usage, with additional costs for features such as dedicated compute or advanced data services. Users pay only for the resources consumed, and billing is measured based on compute credits and cloud storage.

“Snowflake Simplifies Data Management and Reduces Overhead for Growing Teams”

5.0
Dec 3, 2025
We are super happy with SNowflake. The platform is easy to use, we are getting more and more new features almost on a daily basis, and we have excellent support from the sales and technical team. Snowflake has removed moch of the complexity we had previously with data platform management (scaling-up and out), deployments,... There is little to no overhead required to manage an environment used by 50+ data engineers, 50+ analysts and 800+ users across product and tech teams. Our company continues to grow in all areas, yet the growth of our Snowflake spend remains below that pace, which is another major advantage.

Snowflake AI Data Cloud Likes & Dislikes

Like

Combination of simplicity, performance and scalability, combined with their constant improvement in all areas and new products and features delivery. Also previously we were needing bunch of tools and vendors in our environment, with SNowflake this is constantly shrinking to almost non needed.

Like

AI Capability Cross Cloud Security

Like

The integration of Python and the Snowflake Data Connector within the platform makes interacting with the data layer much easier than traditional SQL packages. Using Snowflake's Cortex Search AI functions, I've been able to perform NLP on free-text documents to fulfill requests that previously would've been either impossible or delivered with a large disclaimer on its reliability. Instead of our traditional extract/transform architecture requiring shipping files externally for data sharing, we've been able to securely share data with partners using Private Data Shares.

Dislike

Not much, actually. But if I wold have to pick, one is actualy the naming of new stuff which might be confusing sometimes. Like Copilot Inline, Cortex Copilot, Cortex functions... similar naming for similar but different stuff.

Dislike

Cost Maturity Bugs

Dislike

Managing and predicting costs has been a challenge. Cost Dashboards exist, but it's been difficult for us to pinpoint exactly what is responsible for credit usage. We've worked with Snowflake to expand on what is readily available within dashboards to have more granular insight into our credit usage. All of this information already exists in metadata tables but is not part of the administrator's console. Other challenges that aren't unique to Snowflake as a SaaS are that Snowsight (UI) updates are applied without warning, which can be disruptive.

    Effortless Data Connections and Python Support Offset Complex Cost Tracking Difficulties

    5.0
    Oct 13, 2025
    At its core, we use Snowflake for data warehousing to support cloud visualization tools and quick applet development for write-back/interaction with the data. The breadth of learning/documentation materials and intuitive interfaces have made connecting to disparate source data systems (SQL servers/Sharepoint/Restful APIs/ServiceNow/etc.) both less complex and consolidated into one place.

    Snowflake is the best database management tool I used, though AI Integration Remains Incomplete

    5.0
    Feb 12, 2026
    Snowflake is a big step forward in user experience compared to other cloud database systems. I feel like every feature was thought through for the users, unlike the old interface of its bigger competitors. It's also in very active development.
