What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

The flexibility and the simplicity of using this solution by anyone who is not so familiar with cloud infrastructure and how are they managed behind the scenes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

The unique identity of the data being uploaded through distributed data sources does not gets taken care by Amazon Redshift. Other than that, if the data is being uploaded from other sources (except Amazon S3, relational DyanmoDBs), one would need to use some ETL solution or scripts to load the data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Redshift:

This is really a leader and a very user-friendly solution for the cloud-based data-warehouse needs. (Recommendation based on my usage as of now) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon Redshift uses the same interface as PostgreSQL without the need of adapting to a new interface. Secondly, the speed that it offers loading, querying, analyzing or generating reports out of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

auto-suggestion options are good. so easy to write queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Parallel uploading and enforcing uniqueness while inserting data is not available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Currently, I have eCommerce data lying in multiple systems. To analyze the data, I am extracting data using ETL process and storing all datasets in redshift database tables (each table has a million records then I wrote queries to join tables and performing my analysis. Hence I have data in one place and redshift is fast and robust I don't see any slowness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon redshift is a cloud based platform which is user friendly, easy to work with and easy to catch up. And working with it is really interesting. Because, everything issue of a query is showing in a simple way. And efficiency of this is outstanding. Highly recmmended Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Would love a black theme . And if its there, it might be easy to work with and when working with large querries, the high contrast affect the eyes. So that wasnt a major issue. But just a suggestion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Almost lot of tings having fixes. There is a good supporting team to save our back. So no need to worry. And if we arrive with an issue, we can easily google it and find a solution, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Multiple programming support is great, easy to maintain Database connections and add dashboards like Tableau, SAS & PowerBI. Also, Data sharing is easy. A cloud warehousing where is quite simple to add distinct sources and when we are maintaining s3 for storage, EMR for Big Data choice, then Redshift is a good option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Not a multi-cloud solution like Snowflake. The technical way I dislike is that we interact with only one node, i.e the master node, single point of failure can happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are storing huge bulk of data in Redshift. It ranges from 100 of GB to many TBs . We use EMR and EC2 services to interact with Redshift also external systems like SAS are easily configurable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

We use Amazon Redshift as our DWH. We have set up several virtual machines on AWS for staging and production, which in turn are connected to Amazon Redshift for Database needs.

We write all our scripts using Postgres SQL for redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Depending on which location your redshift cluster is located, the query execution time may differ. For eg: If users are running queries from a location far away from us-east-1, this could affect network speeds, which in turn affect the time it takes for results to load. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon Redshift is taking care of all our data warehousing needs. We use it in conjugation with a readymade pipeline (fivetran) and we haven't seen any issues with database availability or performance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Especially for large-scale data processing as we have tables having terabytes of size and as our Data Pipeline uses multiple other AWS Services it has been the best data warehousing solution so far as it can spin up clusters in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

The maintenance required by Redshift cannot be automated, we have to work on data compression sometimes. We have to do regular data vacuuming as sometimes query performance is slowed down due to the high volume of data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Since Redshift is easy to set up, manage, and scalable we don't have to worry about storage and most of the time about query performance (making lives much easier). Especially its feature of using columnar storage makes its performance a lot better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Redshift is an Amazingly easy to configure, learn & quick to go market service. with a few clicks, your cluster is ready & If I compare the cost with other DW service providers like Snowflake or Synapse for that matter I feel redshift is the most cost-effective service. Its support for data lake via redshift spectrum is fascinating. I do recommend my client's Redshift compared to other cloud providers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

If we upscale cluster size, we end up spending lot more time bringing it up. Also more inbuilt Json data type support would be sweet to have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Moving enterprises to Lake architectures in conjunction with S3 & redshift spectrum helps organizations move faster to ML/Analytic use cases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
