Snowflake coverage
Understand credit usage, warehouse efficiency, storage costs, and query patterns in Snowflake.
Investigate Snowflake usage
- Cost visibility
- See every credit and what's driving it, warehouse compute, storage, serverless features, and data transfer.
- Waste detection
- Identify warehouse auto-suspend gaps and unused storage retained by Time Travel.
- Remediation tracking
- Send findings to Slack, Jira, Teams, or ServiceNow and track each change through resolution.
Snowflake coverage details
| Service or resource | What PointFive analyzes |
|---|---|
| Warehouse sizing | Auto-suspend tuning, warehouse sizing, multi-cluster configuration, and idle warehouse detection. |
| Query efficiency | Expensive query patterns, full table scans, inefficient joins, and repeated query identification. |
| Storage usage | Unused tables, excessive Time Travel retention, clone cleanup, and data sharing cost analysis. |
| Auto-suspend settings | Identify warehouses with suboptimal suspend settings burning credits during idle periods. |
| Credit attribution | Allocate Snowflake credit consumption to teams, projects, and workloads for accountability. |
| Cloud and Snowflake usage | Unified Snowflake and cloud infrastructure savings that Snowflake-only tools can't find. |

For discovery, PointFive uses a read-only Snowflake user with minimal privileges to access metadata and usage statistics. Connect through guided onboarding. Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation uses customer-authorized permissions, and each customer chooses how changes are approved: per change, once for a trusted playbook, or not at all.
PointFive optimizes warehouse compute credits, storage costs, serverless feature usage, Time Travel retention, and data transfer costs. We identify both quick wins and deep architectural optimizations.
Snowflake provides budgets, resource monitors, and cost insights. PointFive adds DeepWaste detection, finding warehouse auto-suspend gaps, query pattern waste, and cross-stack optimization between Snowflake and your cloud infrastructure.
Query text analysis is strictly opt-in. By default, PointFive only analyzes query metadata (duration, credits, warehouse) for optimization recommendations without accessing query content.
Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation uses customer-authorized permissions, and each customer chooses how changes are approved: per change, once for a trusted playbook, or not at all. Dedicated service user with minimal privileges. Query text analysis is strictly opt-in. Data encrypted in transit and at rest. SOC 2 Type II. No agents to install or maintain.
