Quest Software announced the integration of its governance and cost optimization capabilities with Snowflake AI Data Cloud.
This enables organizations to accelerate insight delivery and monitor cloud spend—all from a single console.
“Snowflake delivers performance, and Quest supports Snowflake’s data-driven innovations,” said Bharath Vasudevan, Vice-President of Product Management at Quest. “We give data teams the visibility and confidence they need to trust their data, certify their models, and keep budgets in check—so AI projects can launch in days, not months.”
Quest empowers customers to transform raw cloud data into trusted, compliant, and cost-aware assets. Key capabilities now available to joint customers include:
- Foglight for Cloud Cost Optimization: Within our database observability tool, we surface warehouse utilization and analyze credit consumption across warehouses, users, and queries down to the hour, which can surface idle or misconfigured resources and anomalous workloads. By leveraging Snowflake’s Organization Usage Schema, Foglight delivers actionable insights that have demonstrated 15–30% cost savings in pilot deployments.
- erwin 15 AI-Ready Governance Enhancements: Within our data intelligence suite, we offer native support for Snowflake environments—certifying AI models built on Snowflake data, scoring data trustworthiness using Snowflake-native metrics, and seamlessly integrating governance metadata. This includes cataloging Snowflake datasets, capturing lineage across Snowflake objects, linking business glossary terms to Snowflake tables and views, and assessing data quality in real-time. Trusted and explainable data is the foundation of trusted AI.
“With these integrations, Quest is helping joint users get trusted data faster and optimize spend—a critical step for successful AI initiatives,” said Kieran Kennedy, VP, Data Cloud Product Partners, Snowflake.
Joint customers can now trace lineage end-to-end, auto-document impacts, enforce cross-platform policies, and monitor usage spikes. By combining trusted data governance with real-time cost insights, Quest helps teams move from raw data to AI-ready outcomes—faster and with more control.
