When connecting BI tools to Snowflake for dashboard creation, which factors must be considered to ensure effective integration? (Select all that apply)

Question

Options

• ANetwork latency between BI tool and Snowflake
• BEncryption requirements for Snowflake data
• CCompatibility of BI tool with Snowflake
• DSnowflake account availability only

• A
  89% (16)
• D
  11% (2)

Explanation

Effective BI-to-Snowflake integration requires addressing network latency (A) because slow connections degrade dashboard performance and user experience, encryption (B) because Snowflake handles sensitive data and TLS/data-at-rest encryption must be configured correctly, and BI tool compatibility (C) because not all BI tools natively support Snowflake's JDBC/ODBC drivers or SQL dialect. Option D is a distractor - "account availability only" is far too narrow; availability is just one operational concern among many, and focusing solely on it would ignore the security, performance, and compatibility factors that make the integration actually work.

Memory tip: Think of the acronym NEC (Network, Encryption, Compatibility) - the three pillars you must check before any BI tool goes live with Snowflake. If an answer choice isolates just one trivial factor (like "availability only"), it's almost always wrong on integration questions.
