"A smooth experience with this Data Warehouse"
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

The best part is the ability of its keys (distribution data keys) which enhances the performance capabilities when queries are run. It is mostly managed by AWS and quite good in distribution processing too. Huge amount of data can be stored within it with ease, seamlessly integrates with other AWS services if needed, especially storage services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

An option to search/find data would be a little helpful because it can have massive amount of data. Scalability whether up or down is restricted or to be precise, it is limited to an extent.= compared to other cloud providers. Even is concurrency is less compared to others with a max of 50.

"A perfect SQL based database for your data warehouse!"
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

It'really easy to create and manage tables on Amazon Redshift. SQL syntax is simple and well documented and really helps me to query and aggregate the data. A wide range of data types are supported, even geometry data type for geo applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

I don't really have any big trouble in Amazon Redshift. A minor hiccup is that you have to carefully keep costs under control since it's not a cheap database. Furthermore, Materialized Views (still helpful) could be improved and made more flexible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
