Amazon athena is very powerful serverless solution and it's very cost-effective. I like the user-friendly interface that athena provides to query data from any table present in the S3. I use athena to query data almost on a regular basis. The customer support is also very helpful with the queries regarding anything. It was very easy to implement because of very powerful documentation provided by AWS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are very few things that I don't like about athena, like occasional lags when querying large datasets, there are also some features missing that could have helped the user a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have worked on multiple databases so far. I found it to be better than traditional hive systems.

Within a minute the queries run for many gigabytes of storage.

On top of that, no need to have a system to run.

Since it is a service, anybody can login on web and see the data.

It predominantly helped me serve product people where they can tweak my query and do things on their own when usually I was involved everytime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I did not like some integration with languages like R. RJDBC package had some bugs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's simplicity of the console UI. It is very intuitive to navigate, and theit products are easy to configure on there directly. CLI and IaC tools can be used for repetative tasks, but the console is so easy to use for the quick-n-dirty things you need to get done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The naming convention of the services. When AWS first got started it was OK, because while there was a lot of services out of the gate, they were managable. Now, however, it has grown to having so many services and the naming conventions for them are not intuative to what they do. As a result, when new things pop up you have no idea what they are until you have done some research because you can't quickly tell what the intent is based on the name of the service.

It is very easy, cost efficient and time saving solution to create ETLs, manage your metadata and quickly query from the untyped data present in S3 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazon Athena should work on optimizing the process of running the query over big data. Sometimes, we have to use thrift servers just to query fast on big data.

Other point is error messages should be more precise. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
