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.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Changing from local servers to the cloud is very easy. It's so nice not to have to worry about physical servers."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The solution is easy to set up and use."
"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."
"It is very easy to dump data into the tool."
"I am satisfied with the performance of the product."
"With the tools we have, Amazon Redshift has the features to query efficiently."
"Though Amazon Redshift is good, it depends on what kind of business you're trying to do, what type of analytics you need, and how much data you have."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class."
"The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."
 

Cons

"The refreshment rate of data reaching Redshift from other sources should be faster."
"This solution lacks integration with non-AWS sources."
"It is not easy to deal with queries in Amazon Redshift and see the same data."
"Redshift's GUI could be more user-friendly. It's easier to perform queries and all that stuff in Azure Synapse Analytics."
"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."
"The OLAP slide and dice features need to be improved."
"The technical support should be better in terms of their knowledge, and they should be more customer-friendly."
"The speed of the solution and its portability needs improvement."
"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities."
"Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you want a fixed price, an to not worry about every query, but you need to manage your nodes personally, use Redshift."
"The product is cheap considering what it provides; I rate it five out of five for affordability."
"The best part about this solution is the cost."
"It's not very pricey compared to other tools. I would rate the price as 5 out of 10."
"The cost will depend on how you set up your warehouse and what kind of data you store."
"The cost must be improved."
"Pricing for Amazon Redshift is reasonable, though it could be somewhat higher than other solutions, such as Azure. Still, when you base your comparison on the services offered and the pricing, it's the most reasonable versus its competitors, such as RDS."
"It's pay per use. You can have multiple models."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
