Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Optimized restaurant analytics has driven faster insights and streamlined daily reporting
Amazon Redshift offers massive parallel processing capability, allowing it to handle millions of records, along with integration with other AWS features such as S3 and QuickSight. The column-level storage supports high performance and easy data retrieval compared to other tools. The integration with S3 has helped my team immensely since S3 is our starting source, and the direct integration with Amazon Redshift simplifies the transformation and loading process. Columnar storage has benefited our performance significantly, allowing us to extract specific rows from tables with years of data much faster than other tools with row-level storage. Amazon Redshift has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving query performance and speed. Features such as easy integration with S3 allow us to process millions of records efficiently, ultimately saving us nearly one hour per day for our project.
Kevin Shah - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Data Scientist at Evolvision Technologies
Browser-based SQL access has streamlined team collaboration but still needs faster queries and better ML integration
CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down. Compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether. That needs to be maintained. Even there is no connectivity of machine learning, MLflow kind of thing where Airflow or PySpark approaches can be integrated. Python pipelines can be created but the whole end-to-end machine learning pipeline gets stuck whenever we work out with DBeaver. That again is one of the issues that I would look out for to improve. Also, I need to maintain the infrastructure perfectly here. I need to manage it and need to identify the risks as well. The whole proper setup of VPCs or IAMs needs to be done. It is not a NLQ kind of thing. User queries need to be configured in manual approaches, not automated currently. It should be automated now. Debugging is very painful. That again is a vague approach here. Errors can be executed and we will not be getting out the clarity as well. During this whole approach, the logs are not perfect and intuitive and debugging is also very limited. The user interface and documentation look good, but I would still suggest improvements.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The product is the best database for analytics, BI, and whatever else I encounter."
"Setup is easy. It's a fast solution with machine learning features, good integration, and a good API."
"Amazon Redshift is a really powerful database system for reporting and data warehousing."
"In terms of valuable features, I like the columnar storage that Redshift provides, and the storage is one of the key features that we're looking for, along with the data updates and the latency between the data-refreshes."
"It's scalable because it's on the cloud."
"It allows for the storage of huge amounts of data."
"With the tools we have, Amazon Redshift has the features to query efficiently."
"Redshift allows you to transform different data formats and consolidate them into one Redshift cluster. This means you can transform various siloed data sources like Excel files and CSV files into Redshift."
"CloudBeaver AWS has impacted us positively in multiple ways."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization mainly by improving debugging speed, team collaboration, and operational efficiency."
"CloudBeaver AWS has proven itself as a cost-effective, scalable, and collaborative platform for database management in the cloud."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted our organization in terms of productivity and value addition by reducing the burden of connecting to the database."
"My environment looks very fruitful when I look for an ideal solution for teams or organizations."
"CloudBeaver AWS's interactive dashboards contribute to our organization's data analysis needs, and I find it really good."
"Since using CloudBeaver AWS, my organization has experienced many positive outcomes."
"CloudBeaver AWS has positively impacted my organization as it reduces our mean time to resolution when verifying data discrepancies."
 

Cons

"We did encounter stability issues, i.e., if you are using more than 25 nodes (ds2.xlarge), the cluster is totally unstable."
"The product must provide new indexes that support special data structures or data types like TEXT."
"For people who struggle with IAM or role-based management, the setup isn't easy."
"The OLAP slide and dice features need to be improved."
"They should provide a better way to work with interim data in a structured way than to store it in parquet files locally."
"Migrating data from other data sources can be challenging when you are working with multibyte character sets."
"Amazon should bring more SQL functions that are required in data warehouse implementations."
"If we are in a rush to deliver something for a client and encountered these issue, we are really screwed."
"The performance of CloudBeaver AWS can sometimes lag when making connections."
"CloudBeaver AWS already covers most core database management needs very well, but a few improvements could make it even better for teams working with real-time systems and cloud monitoring."
"CloudBeaver AWS could be better if the official documentation were not sometimes too high-level."
"While CloudBeaver AWS meets most of our needs, there are a few areas where it could be improved."
"CloudBeaver's web interface slows down or freezes when handling complex queries, for example, with large PL/pgSQL statements or large complex CTEs that can reach 500 lines of queries."
"CloudBeaver AWS can be improved because in rendering of the queries, if it is very complex or big, the responses in the browser get slowed down; compared to DBeaver of desktop, it is noticeably very slower on the browser of AWS and heavy data engineering can be done, but it will have very slow responses configured altogether."
"In terms of drawbacks, CloudBeaver AWS's cloud instances are slower than what local solutions provide. Debugging is not smooth or effective compared to what other databases provide."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Redshift is very cost effective for a cloud based solution if you need to scale it a lot. For smaller data sizes, I would think about using other products."
"If you want a fixed price, an to not worry about every query, but you need to manage your nodes personally, use Redshift."
"One of my customers went with Google Big Query over Redshift because it was significantly cheaper for their project."
"The price of Amazon Redshift is reasonable because it depends on the usage that you use and for DWH for the long term."
"It's around $200 US dollars. There are some data transfer costs but it's minimal, around $20."
"It's pay per use. You can have multiple models."
"It is an expensive product."
"It's not very pricey compared to other tools. I would rate the price as 5 out of 10."
