When connecting BI tools to Snowflake for dashboard creation, what factors need to be considered for seamless integration? (Select all that apply)

Question

Options

• ANetwork latency between BI tool and Snowflake
• BData encryption requirements
• CAvailability of a Snowflake account only
• DCompatibility of BI tool with Snowflake

• A
  86% (50)
• C
  14% (8)

Explanation

Seamless BI-to-Snowflake integration requires addressing network latency (A) because slow or inconsistent connections between the BI tool and Snowflake will degrade dashboard performance and query responsiveness. Data encryption (B) is essential to protect sensitive data in transit and at rest, meeting security and compliance requirements. Compatibility (D) is foundational - the BI tool must support Snowflake's JDBC/ODBC drivers or native connectors to communicate correctly.

Option C ("Availability of a Snowflake account only") is the distractor because having an account alone is insufficient - you still need proper credentials, network access, compatible tooling, and security configuration. An account is a prerequisite, not a sufficient integration factor.

Memory tip: Think of integration as three pillars - Speed (latency), Security (encryption), and Support (compatibility). If any pillar is missing, the integration breaks. An account alone holds none of these pillars up.
