Amazon Redshift Reviews

The primary use case for this solution is related to statistical data.

The best part about this solution is the cost.

The performance of this solution is good if you have only a few use cases and a few queries, but for larger applications, it is not so good. 

Running parallel queries results in poor performance and this needs to be improved.

This solution is stable, although we have had some issues with maintenance.

The scalability of this solution needs to be improved.

We have dealt with technical support and it is ok.

The initial setup of this solution is straightforward.

The suitability of this solution depends on the environment and the requirements. For some, Amazon Redshift is perfect. However, some people will need better queries. Based on my research, many of the products are pretty close. It is possible that the much higher priced solutions have more differences.

This is a good solution but the queries need to perform better.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for analytics.

The solution's flexibility is its most valuable feature. It's also easy to scale and has relatively painless pricing. 

The speed of the solution and its portability needs improvement.

The solution is getting more stable with each new version. It's stable now, but it can always continue to improve.

The solution can scale easily.

I've never been in touch with technical support.

The initial setup was straightforward.

We use public and hybrid cloud deployment models. We are Amazon partners.

The solution itself is very popular. Many people use it these days.

I recently went to an AWS summit in Zurich. I was very impressed by AWS and the presentation. Their solutions are very good.

I'd rate this solution eight out of ten.

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.

Amazon should provide more cloud-native tools that can integrate with Redshift like Microsoft's development tools for Azure. 

I've only used Redshift a couple of times to do a proof of concept.

Redshift has had some scaling issues, but Redshift's performance overall is excellent. 

We haven't encountered many challenges so far.

Redshift setup is easy. It's not an issue. 

I rate Redshift nine out of 10. If you're thinking about implementing Redshift, I would recommend focusing on the use case. It's a warehouse database, not a transactional system, so they need to plan their workload before migrating to Redshift.
