"Powerful and Versatile Distributed SQL Query Engine for Efficient Data Analysis"
What do you like best about PrestoDB?

I have been using PrestoDB for my data analysis needs for almost a year, and I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and versatility. The ability to query data from multiple sources in a single query has been a game-changer, allowing me to analyze data across various systems without moving it to a central location.

The scalability of PrestoDB is also commendable, and I have been able to handle large volumes of data and high query loads without any issues. The support for a wide range of data formats and data sources has made it easy for me to integrate PrestoDB into my existing data ecosystem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrestoDB?

The only downside I have experienced is that the learning curve can be steep, especially if you are unfamiliar with distributed systems. PrestoDB is designed for analytical queries, and therefore, it has limited support for transactions. If we require transaction support, we may use another tool alongside PrestoDB.

PrestoDB does not have native security features, such as encryption, authentication, and authorization. We have to implement these features separately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not a big fan as I find it somewhat irrelevant in today's world for majority of my use cases"
What do you like best about PrestoDB?

It is open source and flexibly runs on HDFS or FS. The distributed nature of it allows to run queries faster and utilize the resource at their max if designed properly. Community is great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrestoDB?

It is harder for Presto to stay relevant as many analytical DB solutions of today are much more price efficient. The learning curve and design considerations are far steeper in Presto, making it unnecessarily complex. It also requires a lot of other tools to fill the gaps as it is not a complete solution.

"NexGen query engine"
What do you like best about PrestoDB?

It allows to query data from multiple data sources within a single query. It is very fast due to highly optimised query engine and is well suited for analysis. It is also highly flexible and as it acts like plug and play for data models from sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrestoDB?

It does not leverage disk and used memory for processing which in turn makes it fast. So it was designed for large scale fact joins and in real world, people like to use one system for all their use cases. So this problem should be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very straight forward to use, very fast but a little bit expensive product"
What do you like best about PrestoDB?

The UI is very simple to navigate, and everything is very straightforward to understand. I like the share link function where you can easily share a link with query results to your colleagues. And the colleagues can see both the query and the result from the query. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PrestoDB?

You have to integrate it with your data system, and presto sometimes can cause data blip or intermittent errors when hitting a table if this table is refreshing. Plus the cost to use presto is also a little bit high compared to GCP. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
