## Complete Snowflake cost optimization, end to end

### Complete Cost Visibility

See every credit and what's driving it, warehouse compute, storage, serverless features, and data transfer.

- Warehouse-level and query-level cost breakdown

- Credit consumption trends and forecasting

- Storage cost analysis across databases

- Anomaly alerts before budget impact

### Intelligent Savings

DeepWaste™ uncovers what others miss, from warehouse auto-suspend gaps to Time Travel waste.

### Verified ROI

Findings flow to where engineers work, with tracking to prove what was fixed.

- Agentic remediation workflows

- Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow

- Resolution tracking & validation

- Custom dashboards per team

## A sample of Snowflake optimizations

### Warehouse Optimization

Auto-suspend tuning, warehouse sizing, multi-cluster configuration, and idle warehouse detection.

### Query Optimization

Expensive query patterns, full table scans, inefficient joins, and repeated query identification.

### Storage Optimization

Unused tables, excessive Time Travel retention, clone cleanup, and data sharing cost analysis.

### Auto-Suspend Analysis

Identify warehouses with suboptimal suspend settings burning credits during idle periods.

### Credit Attribution

Allocate Snowflake credit consumption to teams, projects, and workloads for accountability.

### Cross-Stack Analysis

Unified Snowflake and cloud infrastructure savings that Snowflake-only tools can't find.

## The cross-stack advantage no Snowflake-only tool can match

PointFive sees your Snowflake environment and the cloud infrastructure beneath it, coordinating S3/Blob storage policies with Snowflake data retention, detecting network path inefficiencies, and finding savings at the intersection of your data warehouse and cloud that no single-vendor tool ever could.

## Built for engineering teams that move fast

### Guided onboarding

Connect through guided onboarding using agentless discovery integrations.

### AI-Powered, 24/7

Continuously monitors and acts on your environment with intelligent automation.

### Zero Savings Gaps

Full coverage across cloud, PaaS, data & AI. No blind spots, no missed savings.

### No Context Switching

Engineers fix issues in the tools they already use: Slack, Jira, Teams, ServiceNow.

## Connect through guided onboarding

- 01  Create a read-only Snowflake user for PointFive

- 02  PointFive auto-discovers warehouses, databases, and usage patterns

- 03  DeepWaste™ begins scanning and identifying optimizations

- 04  Review prioritized findings and start saving

## Built for security-conscious teams

- Discovery uses read-only access. Automated remediation requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed.

- Dedicated service user with minimal privileges

- Query text analysis is strictly opt-in

- Data encrypted in transit and at rest

- No agents to install or maintain

## Common questions about Snowflake optimization

### 

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 requires customer-authorized permissions and approval before infrastructure changes are executed.

### 

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's Resource Monitor shows usage limits. PointFive goes deeper with 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.
