"Amazon Redshift Review"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is one of the best data warehouse platforms provided by AWS.

It uses SQL to analyze structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data on the managed servers, so you don't have to worry about infrastructure and hardware maintenance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

It can be a bit complex for new users to AWS or using other cloud providers data warehouse services.

Also, migrating to Redshift can be tricky, but overall it's a great platform to gather insights and perform operations on multi-dimensional data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A perfect SQL based database for your data warehouse!"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

It's 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.

4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Pricing is high for small business but worth the cost. Need skilled professional to maintain and create buckets and data warehouse management. Structure of the data lake is good but sometimes gets tough to maintain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
