Proven to be expensive on a long run and the it restricts the user to stick with the aws infrastructure because redshift has non aws server implementation issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Well I mostly work on ETL and data analytics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

It is super efficient and quick at retreiving data and therefore would recommend it to anyone who has a cloud database that is slow and buggy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Nothing particular at the moment. It is too good Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have realised that efficent data storage and data retreival is now a thing that AWS redshift can solve. In the times that we live in , we get data being ingested in giga Bytes and therefore AWS Redshift can not only store the data . It can also retreive it at a super fast as well.
