"Redshift: Best Data Warehouse Service from AWS"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

If on AWS, Redshift is a great option for a data warehouse. For medium-sized data, this is a great way to manage, update tables. It works well with its extension, Redshift Spectrum. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Having always-on compute can be expensive if workloads are not consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very good MPP database in cloud."
4/5
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.

Everything, the performance, management, and efficiency 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.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

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.
