Snowflake offers multiple editions to meet your organization's specific needs. In every subsequent edition, either new features are introduced or a higher level of service is provided. It's easy to switch editions as your organization's needs change.
The following are some of the Snowflake Editions:
- Standard Edition: This is Snowflake's entry-level offering, which allows full access to all of Snowflake's standard features. This edition strikes a good balance between features, level of support, and price.
- Enterprise Edition: With Enterprise Edition, you get all the features and services of Standard Edition, but with some extra features designed to meet the needs of large-scale enterprises.
- Business-critical Edition: Previously known as Enterprise for Sensitive Data (ESD), Business Critical Edition offers even more advanced levels of data security for organizations that deal with highly sensitive data. This edition includes all the features and services of the Enterprise Edition, plus enhanced security and data protection.
- Virtual Private Snowflake (VPS): With this edition, organizations with strict security requirements, like financial institutions and companies that collect, analyze, and share highly sensitive data, can get the highest level of security.
