What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

While powerful, Amazon Redshift can be expensive to process on a large scale with increasing amount of data. Complex joins can slow down query performance, and tuning is an expertise. In high demand environments there is limited support for unstructured data and frequent optimization can be difficult, especially for daily operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"High-Performance Data Warehousing with Exceptional Scalability"
5/5
What do you like best about Amazon Redshift?

Amazon Redshift is a game-changer, allowing us to have highly scalable and performance-enabled data warehousing for the complex project. The MPP architecture and columnar storage offer powerful query performance on the platform. Redshift also allowed us easily to integrate several AWS services, such as using S3 for data imports and Glue for ETL operations, and made our pipeline very streamlined so that data transfer and queries were decreased by many times.

With Spectrum, Redshift can handle structured as well as semi-structured data, which will allow efficient cross-database queries and productivity boost with regards to data analytics and reporting. Advanced data compression features and data distribution ensure that storage is optimally utilized while efficiently making use of and managing costs on resources.

What do you dislike about Amazon Redshift?

Though performance and scalability of Redshift are excellent, the system is not very easy to use for optimization and query tuning for new users. Automated tools for better configuration will enable it to reach a diverse set of teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A smooth experience with this Data Warehouse"
3.5/5
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.
