What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Everything being contained in the AWS environment is a big plus. S3, Redshift, Spectrum, MWAA all working together and billed together. It's a lot easier to get approvals and such. It also has a lot of support with external tools such as dbt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

There are some very specific problems related to my use case (analytics engineering). The documentation around SUPER fields was awful and it was hard to figure out how to use them. Also bizarrely there is no IF statement in Redshift queries. Comparing it to Presto, there are a lot less functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

It is very easy to connect Amazon Redshift to a lot of our tools such as dbt and Looker. It is unlikely I would work at a place that did not have their analytics database in the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

With proper distribution style, compression, and data model, brings superior query performance. WLM queue is another great feature that helps manage the workload by provisioning proper memory allocation and concurrency levels for different user groups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Being the columnar database, the performance optimization technique is centered around the data colocation strategy using the proper distribution style. However, lack of ability to manage data in multiple partitions is sometimes challenging in scenarios where one needs to deal with a multi-tenant environment. Another challenge is a tradeoff between dense storage and dense compute nodes - in current days where storage has become very cheap, the storage cost of Reshift is still very high. Often it is difficult to choose between compute over storage or vice versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The availability of high performant data warehouse in the cloud has helped many companies like ours get the best performance with a decent monthly budget, without spending thousands of dollars on managing expensive servers and licensing in the on-premise data center.

Everything, the performance, management, and performance of the clusters are excellent, in addition to the integration with the rest of AWS services like S3 and Kinesis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The truth is that nothing in particular, maybe the only thing I miss is a specific client that matches everything it can offer, but as a tool itself, nothing to reproach. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
