It is a cost-effective solution for storing and querying large amounts of data for small amounts of data but it can become expensive when scaling up to larger data volumes and higher query rates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Amazon Redshift is very easy to use, with an intuitive user interface that allows users to easily manage their data warehouses without any need for extensive technical knowledge. One of the best parts of Redshift is that it is highly scalable and can be scaled up to match changes in data volume. Amazon Redshift is a highly scalable platform; you don't have to worry about scale and changes in data volume, as Redshift can handle it. Cost-Effective: Amazon Redshift has a pay-as-you-go model, which makes it a very good choice if your data is very dynamic and can scale up or down according to your needs, making it a really cost-effective data warehousing platform. Security: For any data warehouse, security is a must, and Redshift handles it really well. The platform provides robust security features such as encryption, access control, and audit logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

While I would say that Amazon Redshift is easy to use, it becomes complex as data volume and workload increase. Also, it is optimized for batch processing of very large data but not for ad-hoc and real-time analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great experience with Amazon Redshift"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

While using Redshift, given guided tour is very much helpful. It recommend and provides feedback with explanation after each small step you follow. This is very helpful for anyone to adopt Redshift, even with limited knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Sometimes, choosing the resource options gets difficult, leading to higher costs. So, there should be some rough guidance around this. For example, selecting the space for a given file system should highlight how many similar files can be stored in the chosen option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
