Performance optimization and scaling adaptations enable efficient data management
Amazon Redshift does not work alone and requires integration with other AWS tools like S3 and Glue for a complete ecosystem. They should bring the entire ETL data management process into Amazon Redshift. Either they should move Amazon Redshift under Glue, or Glue should be brought under Amazon Redshift. The initial setup could also be improved, particularly in terms of sizing, as it requires trial and error to get right.

Consolidates tools and streamlines cross-platform database work
There is not a lot that I have to complain about with DbVisualizer. Over the years, as I have mentioned, they have continued to enhance the interface and the databases that are supported, but I do not think there is a lot of room for improvement. Most improvements will come from changes in the marketplace, such as new database features that need to be interacted with or perhaps more support for new data types and databases that are going to be supporting AI. Some of that, as we have seen thus far, is not necessarily the game changer that we would have thought. Integrating a co-pilot for SQL queries would be an interesting feature in the future.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its scalability."
"Redshift is a major service of Amazon and is very scalable. It enables faster recalculations and data management, helping to retrieve data quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Redshift is its ability to handle really large sets of data."
"The most valuable features of Amazon Redshift are that its fast and efficient. We have lots of TBs of data and it's very fast."
"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."
"For the on-premises version of Amazon Redshift, we need to start from scratch. However, with the cloud version whenever you want to deploy, you can scale up, and down, and it has a data warehousing capability. Redshift has many features."
"The solution is scalable. It handles different loads very well."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its parallel processing capability. It can handle massive amounts of data, even when pushing hundreds of terabytes, and its scaling capabilities are good."
"DbVisualizer is invaluable to me because it allows me to work from enterprise database systems like Oracle to more emerging database providers like CockroachDB, and can scale to anything up or down from SQLite or standard PostgreSQL."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
 

Cons

"Compatibility with other products, for example, Microsoft and Google, is a bit difficult because each one of them wants to be isolated with their solutions."
"It would be good to see Redshift as a serverless offering."
"The solution has four maintenance windows so, when it comes to stability, I think it would be better to decrease their number."
"The product must provide new indexes that support special data structures or data types like TEXT."
"Improvement in the immediate response and the process of getting into a call could be helpful."
"During the setup, whenever we try to give any permissions, if I have a data warehouse in Amazon Redshift and want to provide access to a user to just check the data without making any changes, it is a long process to create a policy in Amazon and share it with that policy."
"For people who struggle with IAM or role-based management, the setup isn't easy."
"I rate their support seven out of ten. It's costly when you enable support. The price is high for technical support."
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."
"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost will depend on how you set up your warehouse and what kind of data you store."
"The part that I like best is that you only pay for what you are using."
"It's around $200 US dollars. There are some data transfer costs but it's minimal, around $20."
"The product is quite expensive."
"This solution implements the pay-as-you-use model, so no license. Pricing could be cheaper."
"It's not very pricey compared to other tools. I would rate the price as 5 out of 10."
"Amazon Redshift is an expensive solution. Larger organizations can afford this solution, but smaller businesses would struggle to afford it."
"My customers have implementations that cost about $500 a month for a very small one. I also have a customer with a monthly invoice of about $25,000 USD."
"A license with a few years of support is a good and valuable option."
"The pricing for DbVisualizer is fair."
