Featured Reviews

Sriram-Natesan - PeerSpot reviewer
The ability to create a lot of views or materialized views is beneficial
Improvement in the immediate response and the process of getting into a call could be helpful. We have had to wait for at least twenty-four hours to get a call and then wait for a couple more hours for a solution. Improved connectivity to different BI tools and already published connectors for major tools in AWS could enhance the service.
LuizKazan - PeerSpot reviewer
Ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class
The deployment process is very fast. We have prepared the product to be easily installed, and we have had successful cases where it could be implemented in less than a few weeks. Moreover, Around three or four people in a call center are involved in maintaining the solution. We have a project manager, a service manager, and at least two or three system analysts who handle the maintenance. If there are any issues, we can open a support ticket for them to address.

"I like the cost-benefit ratio, meaning that it is as easy to use as it is powerful and well-performing."

"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
 

Cons

"It would be useful to have an option where all of the data can be queried at once and then have the result shown."
"Infinite storage is available in Snowflake and is not available in Redshift."
"The product must become a bit more serverless."
"The solution could improve in handling more data formats and more native support for RDF."
"This solution lacks integration with non-AWS sources."
"The refreshment rate of data reaching Redshift from other sources should be faster."
"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."
"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."
"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"One of my customers went with Google Big Query over Redshift because it was significantly cheaper for their project."
"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."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The cost must be improved."
"The product is cheap considering what it provides; I rate it five out of five for affordability."
"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."

"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
