What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

It is fast, we can use it concurrently and we can use SQL over it so we don't have to learn a new language. The Redshift dashboard allow us to cancel request that take too much ressources. We can optimize to allow the request to run faster (with indexing) and the data to take less space on the disk (with column formatting and compression) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

It is a little bit expensive if we want both performance and disk space. It's quite easy to use all the disk space available as the data is replicated by default. Sometimes the errors are difficult to find as we have to request specific system table. They could have been available in the AWS console. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Redshift:

It's good if you have a team that know well SQL. Other options could be to use Spark, or other analytics tools. Redshift can be a bit expensive for small teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We used Redshift as a data warehouse that was used by data scientist to make statistics on the data. With Redshift, we were able to do analytics on all the data we had. We also created reporting tools over Redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

I like that the SQL syntax is very similar to Oracle SQL which makes transitioning to Redshift easy. We currently use it as a data warehouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

I don't like that we can't update an S3 file directly from Redshift when you create an external table. A lot of the times writing from redshift is as important as reading from the S3 file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you want to get started with data warehousing in the cloud, this is great fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

I like the online resources available. SQL Syntax is easier to work with compared to other SQL software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

I dislike that there isn't enough user-generated resources online. Most of the only resources about SQL are about MySQL or SQL Server but not redshift, and given the slightly different syntax, a lot of the online help is not easily transferrable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Redshift:

I recommend it. Mastering Redshift is very valuable as more companies rely on it as their solution Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I am solving problems surrounding organizing data in tables and pulling data that is required all while having the data safely secured in Amazon's cloud. I realized how fast Redshift is/ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
