Product Benefits

Optimize Your Storage Usage and Reduce Compute Costs

  • Rapidly detect deviations from historical patterns or fluctuations in storage usage with anomaly detection monitors
  • Enhance cost-saving strategies by closely analyzing spend at the user or warehouse level—pinpoint which teams or team members are incurring the highest Snowflake storage costs with out-of-the-box, interactive dashboards and drag-and-drop data visualizations
  • Highlight top warehouses by cost, and surface insights such as large tables that are never queried, tables where data is written but not read, rarely used views, and more

Improve Snowflake Warehouse Performance

  • Avoid queuing queries caused by warehouse overload; monitor key query performance metrics in real time
  • Proactively adjust warehouse sizes or clusters before they exceed capacity with forecasting alerts driven by machine-learning
  • Catch issues early and optimize query performance; track both local and remote disk spilling
  • Identify specific warehouse bottlenecks by analyzing detailed execution metrics and query load
