"Amazing tool to scale your data"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

The scalability of Amazon Redshift is perfect. For me, the querying part of it is what it does its best. Followed by strong security features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Well, it can't be used in cross/multi-cloud platforms like from AWS to Azure or back and forth, which I feel is a letdown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid platform with a few things that need improving for analytics usage"
3.5/5
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.
