Highly scalable with the ability to have a huge amount of computing power. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's on a much older and heavily modified version of postgres. A lot of cool postgres things don't work in redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Data warehousing, frontend reporting. With a decent amount of query manipulation and query workload management, you can actually run a frontend reporting system off of redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

I like that redshift allows us to store our large datasets in easily accesible databases. being able to use the postgres syntax i am familiar with makes it easy to adopt. Redshift clusters are quick and easy to deploy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

I find that optimizing databases can be difficult at times. It's a different sort of database to conceptualize based on our previous experiences so understanding the best practices can be challenging. In addition because it is its own database with it's own syntax you can't 100% use postgres syntax or plug-ins directly. It also doesn't have many options for desktop clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Storing large datasets for cold storage and legacy uses. This allows us to offset our production databases and keep them lighter, faster and smaller. Being on amazon architecture means that we have reliabilty and automated backups available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

I like the large, large amount of raw data you can put in. My company has less than half a terrabyte of nice, simple relational data and redshift obviously meets our size needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

This is probably due to how we originally designed our star schema, but I find for our most common use cases that the queries we have to write can be much more complicated than queries sent to a non-normalized database. Needing to do window functions is a common need and I think window functions tend to run a bit slower on column storage DBs? Not exactly sure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are able to get our valuable data cleaned up and nightly batched into redshift. This enables us to run daily ad hoc queries on all of our clients without querying our production olap database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
