Featured Reviews

StevenLai - PeerSpot reviewer
Has supported data analysis needs but still requires improvements in support responsiveness and setup clarity
I work in the real estate industry, and the best features I appreciate about Amazon Redshift include its efficiency in managing large datasets. Amazon Redshift's security features help meet our compliance needs, and I have experience with its pricing and licensing which I find reasonable. I utilize Redshift's workload management.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The valuable features are performance, data compression, and scalability."
"You can copy JSON to the column and have it analyzed using simple functions."
"The most valuable feature is that the solution is fully embedded in the AWS stack."
"Setup is easy. It's a fast solution with machine learning features, good integration, and a good API."
"Redshift has an advantage when it comes to administration, making it easier to manage and collaborate."
"I like the cost-benefit ratio, meaning that it is as easy to use as it is powerful and well-performing."
"I am satisfied with the performance of the product."
"Redshift is a major service of Amazon and is very scalable. It enables faster recalculations and data management, helping to retrieve data quickly."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
 

Cons

"The only minor issue I faced was that it took a bit longer than expected to change the cluster to have more space or storage."
"The refreshment rate of data reaching Redshift from other sources should be faster."
"We are using third-party tools to integrate Amazon Redshift, they should create their own interface on their own for it to be easily connected on the AWS itself."
"There are too many limitations with respect to concurrency."
"Query compilation time needs a lot of improvement for cases where you are generating queries dynamically."
"The initial setup is a complex process, especially for someone who is not familiar with nodes and configuring terms like RPUs."
"Running parallel queries results in poor performance and this needs to be improved."
"The explain panel in the Redshift database could be better."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's pay per use. You can have multiple models."
"Per hour pricing is helpful to keep the costs of a pilot down, but long-term retention is expensive."
"One of my customers went with Google Big Query over Redshift because it was significantly cheaper for their project."
"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."
"It's around $200 US dollars. There are some data transfer costs but it's minimal, around $20."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"I have heard complaints about the solution’s pricing, and thus I rate it as a five."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is a low price and ten is a high price, I rate the pricing a seven."
"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
