The idea behind Snowplow was to provide a platform to enable any company to collect their granular event data for themselves, in their own cloud account so that data analysts and scientists could free themselves from the constraints imposed by the web analytics vendors.
The idea remains the same today: Snowplow enables you to track any event data; ask any question of that data and use any tool you want to answer it.
