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.

Can transform data per clients' needs and can easily distribute reports to end users
I would recommend looking at all of the solutions currently available and then decide. I would not immediately suggest going for SAP NetWeaver. Being able to transform the data according to my requirements is a crucial feature; the phasing layers are helpful to distinguish data with respect to a specific project; analytics and reporting are very feasible; and the distribution of reports to the end users is also very easy. However, connectors need to be simplified, and technical support needs to be improved. Thus, on a scale from one to ten, I would rate SAP NetWeaver Business Warehouse at eight.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the cost-benefit ratio, meaning that it is as easy to use as it is powerful and well-performing."
"I would rate Amazon Redshift a ten on a scale of one to ten."
"Amazon Redshift offers a relatively flexible structure...I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The most valuable feature is its scalability."
"Redshift COPY command, because much of my work involved helping customers migrate large amounts of data into Redshift."
"The solution is scalable. It handles different loads very well."
"The initial setup of this solution is straightforward."
"It's an excellent over-all tool for managers to analyze their business."
"The security and audit procedures are the most valuable features."
"Transformation is a valuable feature of SAP NetWeaver. I can transform the data as per my needs or my client's needs. For example, flat tables can be transformed with respect to our requirements to combine multiple modules into one single table, and we can derive analytics."
"Data modeling is a valuable feature."
"It is a robust system."
"It provides us with proof of data, we can centralize all of the information, check it, and then provide the information to our users."
"A robust and efficient product."
 

Cons

"Query compilation time needs a lot of improvement for cases where you are generating queries dynamically."
"Pricing needs improvement as the solution is expensive."
"Should be made available across zones, like other Multi-AZ solutions."
"There are too many limitations with respect to concurrency."
"There are physically too many pipelines for a company of this size to maintain. For a data scientist, it's very difficult to learn the data in all of these different environments."
"This solution lacks integration with non-AWS sources."
"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."
"It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
"I think more integration with other applications would be perfect."
"There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability."
"Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier."
"The product could provide more features."
"The program is difficult to learn to use"
"Design and modeling could be simplified."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BI is sold to our customer base as a part of the initial sales bundle. A customer may elect to opt for a white labeled site for an up-charge."
"The part that I like best is that you only pay for what you are using."
"Amazon Redshift is an expensive solution. Larger organizations can afford this solution, but smaller businesses would struggle to afford it."
"The product is quite expensive."
"If you want a fixed price, an to not worry about every query, but you need to manage your nodes personally, use Redshift."
"The solution is available at a mid-range price compared to other vendors."
"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 is an expensive product."
"Pricing is based on the number of user IDs and tyhe user ID works across a suite of products."
"All SAP products are expensive."
"The licensing cost is high for SAP NetWeaver compared to that for other products."
