What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Bringing up the nodes automatically as soon as the storage limit is reached.

The concept of RA3 is amazing. but if you ask me to compare with other tools in the market redshift didn't mark the expectations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Migration from DS2 to RA3 nodes.

I have almost 5+ years of experience using redshift. I know RA3 is fantastic and sounds like a competitor for Snowflake.

Just imagine companies have invested there amount and data into a cluster and built so many reportings on top of it.

Now recommending it to RA3, just souts out the cluster DS2 which was built or used initially is of no use.

And slowly I feel redshift is loosing its importance in the Market. Companies who have there modules setup on AWS cloud might be intrested on it.

But personally as a developer, i would recommend snowflake because of the UI they provide and data shares they have.

Just a review on my experience, but kudos to the entire team who came with the vision of RA3. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Redshift:

If you have only simple star and snowflake schema projects and data volume less than 10Tb.

you can go ahead with Redshift Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Redshift DB for storing our finance and sales analytics reporting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is a cloud based platform where in you can extract almost all of your production datasets in one go. It helps us to avoid the dependency on other files which needs to be downloaded from websites etc. It is a good platform to link with Power BI, Tableau dashboards also. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Due to the large volumes of data, the performance of data pull can be slow. Depending on where the server is located, the performance of queries can be affected. So the query performance expectations is varying for each region. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

All of the data needed for analysis can be extracted from one main source and due to this, we can avoid having so many dependencies. It is easier to refer everything to one source. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
