Snowflake is the best all around DW product out there. It commonly gets compared to Redshift, but Amazon built Redshift on top of ParAccel's technology. Snowflake built its database from scratch. Most of the Snowflake founders have PhDs with an emphasis on distributed systems and I think you see that in the product. I can't say enough good things about snowflake, and I have plenty of criticism to throw at hadoop, redshift, asterdata & vertica.
