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.

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

"It allows you write complex queries and perform row by row processes."
"Redshift's Excel features are handy. Redshift spectrum allows you to directly query the data on an Excel sheet. Now, SQL Server also allows this, but Redshift has many more features."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The feature that we find most useful is the ability to do analytics on the fly."
"The solution's speed, stability, and user concurrency have been very good."
"Redshift has an advantage when it comes to administration, making it easier to manage and collaborate."
"It is very easy to dump data into the tool."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
 

Cons

"It lacks a few features which can be very useful, such as stored procedures"
"The refreshment rate of data reaching Redshift from other sources should be faster."
"The product could be improved by making it more flexible."
"Amazon Redshift is a little more expensive than other products."
"It would be useful to have an option where all of the data can be queried at once and then have the result shown."
"There are too many limitations with respect to concurrency."
"When working with third-party services requires additional integrations and configurations, which can sometimes add more cost."
"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."
"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

"For Amazon Redshift, we pay around INR 60,000 annually. The cost factor also depends on the number of existing customers."
"If you want a fixed price, an to not worry about every query, but you need to manage your nodes personally, use Redshift."
"The price of the solution is reasonable. According to the RA3 cluster particularly, it provides 128 GB of storage with only four nodes. If you can manage your computations processes with the help of materialized views and proper queries. I think the IP clusters are very useful and overall fair for the price."
"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."
"The product is cheap considering what it provides; I rate it five out of five for affordability."
"This solution implements the pay-as-you-use model, so no license. Pricing could be cheaper."
"In comparison to the price of similar solutions, Redshift's cost is the lowest."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
