“Excellent onboarding experience”
Pros
Being open source makes the platform very transparent which was a big plus for us. We're able to define our own validation rules, data modeling rules and data schema so it feels highly customizable overall. The onboarding experience was also excellent because the success team gave us a lot of support from the start and they've continued to be helpful ever since.
Cons
Getting everything set up does require data engineers and architects to build the internal data pipelines, whether that's to an on-premise data lake or other marketing tools. That's not really a Snowplow-specific problem though and companies with stricter security requirements would likely face the same situation with other platforms too.
