“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.”
