Snowflake is a powerful warehouse for structured data, but analyzing conversations in it is slow, costly, and requires constant engineering support. MaestroQA was purpose-built for conversation analytics. We combine conversation data with operational data, making it possible to answer custom questions about churn, retention, and more without engineering overhead.
Why Conversation Analysis is Hard in Snowflake
Snowflake is optimized for structured data, not unstructured conversations. To analyze it, teams have to force-fit it into models that weren’t designed for this type of data. Companies end up building and maintaining complex pipelines — and even then, the limited analysis isn’t widely accessible.
- Pipeline management: Every new analysis requires its own, separate pipeline.
- Engineering dependence: SQL, Python, and model management needed for each analysis, taking up valuable engineering time that could be spent on core product work.
- Scale constraints: Processes that work on a few conversations often fail at thousands.
- Slow time to insight: Building and operationalizing each analysis takes weeks of engineering effort, delaying insights.
- Restricted access: Most business teams don’t have access or the technical expertise to operate Snowflake.
- Cost burden: Compute usage is opaque and hard to manage.
Curious what this looks like in practice? We ran the same conversation analytics workflow in Snowflake and MaestroQA using 200 real sales call transcripts. The results made the limitations clear — and showed why a purpose-built platform makes all the difference.

MaestroQA is Built for Conversation Data
MaestroQA eliminates the need for pipelines or engineering support to query data. Our platform was designed for conversation data and natively combines it with operational data from Snowflake. That means teams can analyze every conversation, create role-specific dashboards, and ask AI ad-hoc questions in minutes — all in one place.
- No pipelines: New analyses run directly in the platform without custom builds.
- No engineering bottlenecks: AI-powered analysis can be deployed by analysts or business teams.
- Scales by design: Purpose-built to process thousands of conversations quickly and reliably.
- Fast time to insight: Launch new metrics or ad-hoc analysis in minutes, not weeks.
- Accessible to teams: Teams across the business get results in personalized workspaces, optimized for insights they need to make critical decisions.
- Efficient costs: No hidden pipeline maintenance or unpredictable compute spend.
Conversation Analytics in Snowflake vs. MaestroQA
Breadth of Conversation Analytics in Maestro
Conversation data analytics isn’t one-dimensional. Businesses need to track compliance, measure performance, coach agents, surface product insights, investigate churn, retention, and more — sometimes continuously, sometimes on demand. MaestroQA supports the widest variety of use cases in one platform.
Custom metrics across 100% of conversations: Uncover patterns in compliance, performance, and customer outcomes.
Ad-hoc AI analysis: Ask new questions on any dataset without pipelines or code.
Personalized workspaces: Dashboards for agents, managers, and teams with role-specific insights.
Ready to Unlock Your Conversation Data?
Your teams rely on Snowflake for structured data—but conversations are different. They’re unstructured, complex, and critical to understanding what’s really happening with customers and operations.
MaestroQA was built for this kind of analysis. By combining conversation and operational data in one platform, you eliminate pipelines and engineering bottlenecks, accelerate time to insight, and make conversation data accessible to every team. The result: conversation analytics that scale, connect to business outcomes, and drive measurable impact.
