“SELECT is a team favorite - its cost monitoring and auto savings give us peace of mind that our Snowflake spend is in check. The platform’s detailed insights across SQL queries, dbt, and Looker usage provides a comprehensive view into credit spend that is unmatched by other solutions. SELECT has helped us significantly optimize how we use Snowflake.”
“SELECT's app has become an invaluable resource to our company. It clearly breaks down our costs to allow us to focus on the most important areas of cost. SELECT has repeatedly surfaced inefficient common query patterns, and has helped us spot 200 TiB of unused tables to drop, resulting in continued significant cost savings. SELECT is always adding new features to help their customers better understand and reduce their spending. We can't recommend them highly enough!”
“I love clicking through SELECT to understand how our environment and workloads are evolving. I probably check it every day. It's coffee and SELECT for me every morning.”
“SELECT helps us quickly identify inefficient queries that consume unnecessary Snowflake credits, providing all the information we need in a single application. With the Automated Savings feature, we were able to allocate credits to new compute-intensive data projects.”
“This is the easiest thing we've ever done to save money - 20x ROI. Does this not exist for AWS?”
“SELECT provides our team with complete visibility into all aspects of our Snowflake bill and usage. Our team regularly uses SELECT to monitor costs and get alerted on key changes. The dbt & Looker integrations are also super helpful for identifying performance bottlenecks.”
“SELECT helped us monitor and reduce our overall Snowflake spend by almost 40%. The reporting showed me bottlenecks in minutes that would’ve otherwise taken weeks to dig through metadata and sort out. The 'Automated Savings' savings feature alone is saving us over $10k a month across our accounts, allowing us to bring on new workloads.”
“Before SELECT, we were blind to our Snowflake cost drivers. Minutes after install, we identified a single job that was driving over 20% of our costs. The instant visibility & not having to build & maintain our own monitoring makes a big difference for a lean team like ours.”
“We love using SELECT to monitor our snowflake costs and usage. The interface drills down by warehouse, by integration, and surfaces cost anomalies at the query level so we can quickly identify and optimize our pipeline. The Automated Savings feature is easy to implement and pays for itself. This product is a perfect compliment to our Snowflake account.”
“We got up and running with SELECT in about 20 minutes and we're able to drop our usage by 15% in just two days, which freed up budget for other workloads. Our team was able to focus on other valuable business initiatives instead of worrying optimizing costs and building out our own monitoring. Awesome product!”
“SELECT has streamlined our data warehouse monitoring and reduced costs by 30%. Set up is quick and the reporting provides all the information we need to efficiently focus on where to make improvements, allowing the team to focus on building rather than having to worry about increasing costs. It has saved us a huge amount of time and money overnight! ”
“We had an instance where suddenly we had a $20K increase that was picked up by SELECT's alerting. In SELECT, we were able to quickly determine that one dbt view with an expensive window function was pulled into an hourly report, triggering the sudden cost increase, and were able to implement a fix accordingly.”
“Setup for SELECT was swift and pain-free. Within 30 minutes we had a full view of our Snowflake usage and cost drivers, including a level of depth on our dbt project spend which we've struggled to get via other means. This helps us stay lean on our costs, without holding back innovation within the team.”
“Engaging with SELECT was nothing short of transformative for our operations. Their fast and seamless integration effortlessly optimized our Snowflake warehouses, and we instantaneously reaped the benefits with a noticeable 20% reduction in our bill. But, it's not just about cost savings. SELECT's exceptional product stands as an invaluable tool for identifying costly query workloads, and it expertly guides us through efficient remediation processes. It's a must-have investment where the ROI isn't future promise — it's present fact. ”
“Onboarding onto SELECT was quick and the instant insights made our spend management a lot more efficient. It's an absolute no-brainer to add to a Snowflake stack!”
“We had released the power of Snowflake, which was like giving the keys to a Ferrari to people without driver's licenses. To a certain extent you want to enable people to move quickly so they can innovate, but we also needed to increase our controls and monitoring to prevent unnecessary waste, and that's where SELECT came in”
“SELECT feels like exactly what Paul and I would have built if we had locked ourselves in a room for 18 months to create our ideal monitoring solution.”
“The Insights feature is really nice - you basically have free labor identifying things that are highest impact ROI, 80-20 kind of thing. We use it quarterly to go through the list and see if anything jumps out that's worth a few hours to save a couple grand”
“SELECT has made important cost data readily accessible. I will often pull it up during engineering design reviews so we can quickly evaluate cost impact and projections and factor that into our design decision.”
“With SELECT's Insights feature, we were able to immediately identify which dbt jobs we could optimize and how, as well as oversized warehouses we could quickly adjust for immediate cost savings.”
“SELECT dramatically lowers the cognitive load to understanding Snowflake costs. I'm able to sit there and easily understand what's driving the cost. Not to blow smoke up your ass, but it's just so easy to do in your platform.”
“Thanks to SELECT's monitoring and lineage, we were able to identify a job running more frequently than the upstream dataset was being populated, change four lines of code and prevented a new workload from costing $800,000/year to only $50,000”
“You guys have the best UI experience that I've had of any software. It's like you just read my mind where, like, oh, I wish I could click there. Oh, wait, I can!”
“SELECT makes every Snowflake cost number readily visible so I can go talk to other groups within the company, whether it's on the business side, like, hey, can you tell me that this field is that valuable to the business because it costs us this much on the Snowflake spend, or upstream, saying, hey, we have this data cleaning step in dbt, it costs us this much. Should we instead be moving this transformation upstream to lower costs?”
“With SELECT's Insights feature, we were able to immediately identify which dbt jobs we could optimize and how, as well as oversized warehouses we could quickly adjust for immediate cost savings.”
“Our costs had jumped up 3X as we scaled, so we're talking about 60% savings in Snowflake spend after adopting SELECT.”
“Census has this concept of live syncs and so they were having these audiences run continuously, even though the upstream data was batch. SELECT surfaced that the jobs were running more frequently than necessary, and we were able to quickly tune the schedule for an immediate, major cost savings win.”
“With Snowflake, you may get a warning that your top level budget is off. With SELECT, you'll receive a notification telling you what service spiked, from what workload, when and why, along with all the additional telemetry you need to investigate. It's a night and day difference.”
“After a period of rapid growth we needed to take a step back and invest in a proper cost management practice to ensure we weren't spending Snowflake credits unnecessarily, and that's where SELECT came in to fully automate that process from observability to remediation.”
“Every morning I get my coffee, look at the pipes, then check SELECT. It takes me two to three minutes to get a sense of what's going on in our Snowflake setup every day.”
“We were able to reduce DAG execution duration by probably 60% just by visualizing the order of materializations in SELECT. You could see clearly what model was blocking other models and scale up to a stronger warehouse.”
“Without the visibility from SELECT, it really wouldn't have been possible to make the changes that we wanted to make over the last six months. It really has been such a great help”
“When it comes to Snowflake optimization, you're often searching for needles in the haystack. Since adopting SELECT, I don't have to look those anymore. The needles are all right there.”
“Through SELECT's visibility, we finally got the visibility into all the different jobs which were driving consumption and in many cases, were able to simply turn them off after having conversations with the right business stakeholders”
“One of the most helpful cost rituals we've setup from SELECT is the weekly spend digest sent to Slack. I can start high level and ensure things are in check. If not, I can very quickly drill down into specific workloads which may have driven the cost spike and remediate them before they become a bigger issue.”
“SELECT works the way my brain works. I love clicking through the query patterns and different workloads. It's a very intuitive diagnostic flow - I can easily identify how costs are evolving, spot which workload or dbt model caused that, then click into that job and immediately identify what changed and what action could be taken to remediate”
