Redshift Reviews & Product Details

I like this rendering for speed, the ability to use not only the memory of the graphic card, but also the RAM. This makes it possible to render complex and "heavy" scenes. Also, it is built into Autodesk Maya and SideFX Houdini, which make the shader configuration easy with the node-base workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A small number of material presets and a high price for home usage. And doesn't work with Houdini Mantra shader nodes. I had to rebuild shaders from Mantra to Redshift. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's quick and easy to use. Python friendly functions and easy connectivity. Data Retrieval is fast and handles duplicates very well unlike snowflake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It supports a maximum of 5 connection object at a time. sometimes there are region issues i.e. east or west. There are internal limitations within the organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great scalable data repository. It's very easy to connect to BI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You should be careful for the fees and invoices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very easy to deploy and scale. Also you could connect Amazon Redshift to BI tools like Tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Billing. Sometimes you could be surprised with the invoice you have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ability to manage technical data. It is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing. The tech team has been able to use redshift effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up a redshift cluster is super simple via the console in AWS. You can specify the cluster size and the hardware specs of each node and have it up and running in an instant. The cost is also very reasonable and it is easy to scale up or down based on specific needs. The documentation is also thorough and redshift is a fork off of postgres. So as a user of postgres, moving to redshift was very smooth for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There really is not anything I dislike about redshift. I am totally a big fanboy of the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redshift blows it's cpu-based counterparts out of the water with blazing fast render times that make being an independent 3D animator / animation studio far more feasible than ever before.

The speed is the biggest advantage of redshift, followed by the quality of the rendering which seems to be limitless. I have not run into any issues with redshift in my using it so far as things that I can do with other renderers that are not possible with redshift.

The software is incredibly deep, the documentation and design of the software is incredibly clear, and the price is amazing considering what can be done with one license.

Furthermore, the support forums are incredibly friendly and helpful, and the developers are doing a great job supporting the software, clearly very passionate about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redshift can be incredibly taxing on the GPU and requires at least one pretty powerful one to get up and running, which can be an investment. Furthermore I have run into some issues with my GPU crashing since using redshift, although this could be as much a hardware problem as a software bug. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Redshift makes it extremely easy to analyze and visualize data. The interface is very intuitive to use and I have no problems navigating the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s difficult to export graphs and charts to other software (e.g. PowerPoint). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
