What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is a robust software. Being a columnar data storage architecture makes it very efficient to query very large amount of data. We have several users who access and query Amazon Redshift but it does not affect the speed or efficency of the queries. It is compatible with several BI and visualization tools. We use Tableau in our organization to create reports and analytics. It is easier to setup and most of maintenance is managed by Amazon. This makes it less resource intensive and easier for your IT team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Not all features of Postgres SQL are supported by Amazon RedShift. There is no option to create variables which makes it difficult to write complex queries in certain scenarios. It also does not support stored procedures and triggers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Amazon Redshift:

If you have a large amount of data then Amazon RedShift is a good and very efficient alternatrive to other expensive data waerhousing tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have several SQL Server databases which hold data for our different business units. We selected Amazon Redshift as our main analytics data warehouse which store data from all business units (100s of terabyte). We integrate and join data from all sources. We create different data marts which cater to reporting and analytics needs of differnt users in the organization and external clients. We use Tableau as BI tool with our Amazon RedShift data warehouse for most of our reporting & analytics needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
