What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Easy to set up a data warehouse, especially if your current tech infrastructure already runs on AWS.

Redshift is also readily supported by many other tools out there like Apache Superset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Significant time savings have been realized. Query run times have significantly improved, freeing up our data consumers for more valuable work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
