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.

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.

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.
