How to Seamlessly Share Data with More Users in Snowflake?

Imagine a world where valuable data insights are locked away in isolated silos, inaccessible to those who need them most. This reality, unfortunately, still plagues many businesses. A study by Harvard Business Review found that over 80% of data remains dark and unused, hindering collaboration and hindering data-driven decision-making.

Thankfully, the world of data sharing is evolving. Platforms like Snowflake are revolutionizing how businesses manage and share data. Snowflake’s secure and scalable data cloud empowers organizations to break down data silos and unlock the true potential of their information assets. But how do you ensure seamless data sharing with a growing number of users within the Snowflake ecosystem?

This blog post explores various functionalities within Snowflake designed to facilitate secure and efficient data sharing, and how Infometry can be your partner in optimizing your data-sharing strategy.

Beyond Data Silos: Sharing Options in Snowflake

Snowflake offers various data-sharing options to accommodate different needs. Here are some key options:

• Direct Shares: Share specific databases, schemas, or views with designated Snowflake accounts within your region. This is ideal for targeted data access for specific users or teams.
• Listings: Create a curated list of data objects (like shares) and publish them on the Snowflake Marketplace. This allows other Snowflake accounts to discover and subscribe to your data products, expanding data accessibility beyond your organization.
• Data Exchanges: Establish a secure environment for sharing data with a predefined group of accounts. This option is ideal for collaborating with partners or vendors on specific data projects.
