Amazon Redshift offers massive parallel processing capability, allowing it to handle millions of records, along with integration with other AWS features such as S3 and QuickSight. The column-level storage supports high performance and easy data retrieval compared to other tools. The integration with S3 has helped my team immensely since S3 is our starting source, and the direct integration with Amazon Redshift simplifies the transformation and loading process. Columnar storage has benefited our performance significantly, allowing us to extract specific rows from tables with years of data much faster than other tools with row-level storage. Amazon Redshift has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving query performance and speed. Features such as easy integration with S3 allow us to process millions of records efficiently, ultimately saving us nearly one hour per day for our project.

the most useful feature of the product is object imaging. It is the champion in the world of RDBMS.
Although they already have patches to address the instability of CORV (Create or Replace Views) CASCADE, I believe this is the area that should receive most attention. I am, however, still not sure if the patch has officially been recognised and deployed as part of their version updates. There are a few critical issues/bugs that we have experienced on our production environment, which required intervention from Kognitio. As one of Kognitio's biggest clients, their response times were quick and patches were also quick to be released to address production issues. Also, slabs management seems to be, or can be, a very hands-on tasks especially when reaching its capacity. It will be every WX2/KAP developer’s or DBA’s paradise if the product can be configured in this area to be fully/semi-automated.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Amazon Redshift is its ability to handle really large sets of data."
"With Amazon Redshift, we gained a lot in terms of timing, as well as project completion."
"Fast load times Flexibility in column definitions The ability to reload data multiple times at different times."
"Redshift has been the data warehouse in at least three of my previous companies."
"The main benefit is that our portal for end users is running in AWS, so we can easily connect it to other AWS services."
"Redshift COPY command, because much of my work involved helping customers migrate large amounts of data into Redshift."
"In terms of valuable features, I like the columnar storage that Redshift provides, and the storage is one of the key features that we're looking for, along with the data updates and the latency between the data-refreshes."
"The most valuable feature of Redshift is its cluster."
"In the world of RDBMS, WX2/KAP is, I believe, the champion, or should be if not already!"
 

Cons

"Sometimes, it's difficult to get the metadata from Redshift."
"Pricing is one of the concerns that I have because if you compare Snowflake with Redshift, it provides some of the same services, but at a much cheaper rate."
"The OLAP slide and dice features need to be improved."
"The solution has four maintenance windows so, when it comes to stability, I think it would be better to decrease their number."
"Amazon Redshift could improve by enhancing its UI to be more user-friendly for non-technical users and by offering better cost management, as similar tools tend to be less expensive."
"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."
"In the next release, a pivot function would be a big help. It could save a lot of time creating a query or process to handle operations."
"Query compilation time needs a lot of improvement for cases where you are generating queries dynamically."
"It does not have the robustness or stability like of Oracle or Teradata; the upper right quadrant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The part that I like best is that you only pay for what you are using."
"I have heard complaints about the solution’s pricing, and thus I rate it as a five."
"The price of Amazon Redshift is reasonable because it depends on the usage that you use and for DWH for the long term."
"It's not very pricey compared to other tools. I would rate the price as 5 out of 10."
"It is an expensive product."
"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."
"If you want a fixed price, an to not worry about every query, but you need to manage your nodes personally, use Redshift."
"In comparison to the price of similar solutions, Redshift's cost is the lowest."
