They have very good enterprise sales teams .....
They are also positioning themselves as a firm to firm data exchange hub (similar to how Zoom has positioned themselves as a universal firm to firm video conferencing solution) which allows them to capture a tax every time firms exchange data either externally or even internally (between various divisions).
Technically, I have heard despite their claims that they have a unique "cloud native architecture" [1], they are basically built on a custom distributed parquet system (Can't vouch for the accuracy of this).

- hodgesrm 5y agoThe uniqueness of Snowflake comes from decoupled compute and storage with data lying at rest on object storage. This was very innovative at the time. The approach is being copied by more or less every competitor in the analytic space so over time it's harder to describe it as unique.
