What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift has an easy to use and setup gives teams of all sizes access to data warehousing and analytics. It’s got robust feature and it integrates well with other AWS services to make it easy to implement and scale. Their customer support is reliable and their use frequency adds a value by using their analytics which give us important insights about our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

While powerful, Amazon Redshift can be expensive to process on a large scale with increasing amount of data. Complex joins can slow down query performance, and tuning is an expertise. In high demand environments there is limited support for unstructured data and frequent optimization can be difficult, especially for daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Redshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon Redshift helps satisfy our demand for fast data warehousing by giving us blazing fast query performance in large datasets to run daily reporting and analytics. While complex data queries can occasionally be performance challenging, it provides our center data, which in turn helps us to gain better insights, and better decisions which in turn helps in our business operation and strategy planning.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is a game-changer, allowing us to have highly scalable and performance-enabled data warehousing for the complex project. The MPP architecture and columnar storage offer powerful query performance on the platform. Redshift also allowed us easily to integrate several AWS services, such as using S3 for data imports and Glue for ETL operations, and made our pipeline very streamlined so that data transfer and queries were decreased by many times.

With Spectrum, Redshift can handle structured as well as semi-structured data, which will allow efficient cross-database queries and productivity boost with regards to data analytics and reporting. Advanced data compression features and data distribution ensure that storage is optimally utilized while efficiently making use of and managing costs on resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Though performance and scalability of Redshift are excellent, the system is not very easy to use for optimization and query tuning for new users. Automated tools for better configuration will enable it to reach a diverse set of teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Redshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

Amazon Redshift solved the problem of big data processing and execution of complex queries by offering a strong and reliable infrastructure that accelerates data processing by up to 35%. Its scalable power has helped absorb increasing volumes of data, and rich analytics support has been helpful in helping you experiment quickly and bring actionable insigh Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

The best part is the ability of its keys (distribution data keys) which enhances the performance capabilities when queries are run. It is mostly managed by AWS and quite good in distribution processing too. Huge amount of data can be stored within it with ease, seamlessly integrates with other AWS services if needed, especially storage services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

An option to search/find data would be a little helpful because it can have massive amount of data. Scalability whether up or down is restricted or to be precise, it is limited to an extent.= compared to other cloud providers. Even is concurrency is less compared to others with a max of 50. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Amazon Redshift solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps in data storage and data processing all on cloud with very less downtime or issues. Caters us to provide data via queries for further usage like Reporting,further processing or even ETL for that matter to build pipelines. Stable at any point of time when used so it is reliable.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

It'really easy to create and manage tables on Amazon Redshift. SQL syntax is simple and well documented and really helps me to query and aggregate the data. A wide range of data types are supported, even geometry data type for geo applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

I don't really have any big trouble in Amazon Redshift. A minor hiccup is that you have to carefully keep costs under control since it's not a cheap database. Furthermore, Materialized Views (still helpful) could be improved and made more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
