Ved Prakash Yadav - PeerSpot reviewer
Works as a data warehouse system and collects data from different sources
In terms of improvement, I believe Amazon Redshift could work on reducing its costs, as they tend to increase significantly. Additionally, there are occasional issues with nodes going down, which can be problematic. We often encounter issues like someone dropping a column or changing the order of columns, which can cause synchronization problems when pushing data through our pipeline. It's a minor issue, but it can be annoying.

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

"The most valuable features are that it's easy to set up and easy to connect the many tools that connect to it."
"Redshift allows you to transform different data formats and consolidate them into one Redshift cluster. This means you can transform various siloed data sources like Excel files and CSV files into Redshift."
"With the APIs that are available, it can be easily integrated with other tools."
"Easy to build out our snowflake design and load data."
"The processing of data is very fast."
"With the tools we have, Amazon Redshift has the features to query efficiently."
"For the on-premises version of Amazon Redshift, we need to start from scratch. However, with the cloud version whenever you want to deploy, you can scale up, and down, and it has a data warehousing capability. Redshift has many features."
"The seamless connection and good scalability on the cloud are valuable features of Amazon Redshift."
"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

"There is some missing functionality and sometimes it's so difficult to work in. We need to convert these functionalities using VACUUM inside Amazon Redshift and then it causes some complexity."
"The technical support should be better in terms of their knowledge, and they should be more customer-friendly."
"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."
"Pricing needs improvement as the solution is expensive."
"Redshift's GUI could be more user-friendly. It's easier to perform queries and all that stuff in Azure Synapse Analytics."
"It takes a lot of time to ingest and update the data."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"Improvement could be made in the area of streaming data."
"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

"My customers have implementations that cost about $500 a month for a very small one. I also have a customer with a monthly invoice of about $25,000 USD."
"The cost will depend on how you set up your warehouse and what kind of data you store."
"One of my customers went with Google Big Query over Redshift because it was significantly cheaper for their project."
"At the moment, pricing is a little bit on the higher side, although it depends on the size of the company."
"For Amazon Redshift, we pay around INR 60,000 annually. The cost factor also depends on the number of existing customers."
"The product is cheap considering what it provides; I rate it five out of five for affordability."
"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."
"The best part about this solution is the cost."
"I rate the tool's pricing a five out of ten."
