    Presto is for interactive simple queries, where Hive is for reliable processing. If you have a fact-dim join, presto is great..however for fact-fact joins presto is not the solution.. Presto is a great replacement for proprietary technology like Vertica

    We use this for an inbuilt security management system, where it performs well in a scaled setup with a large volume of live data with high availability. Also, the performance is up to the mark for the large statement flow. From a DBA perspective, a lot of parameters need to be fine-tuned for the specific environment needs, which can cause overhead. Expertise is limited, and the learning curve is steep for the SAP ASE.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • Linking, embedding links and adding images is easy enough.
    • Once you have become familiar with the interface, Presto becomes very quick & easy to use (but, you have to practice & repeat to know what you are doing - it is not as intuitive as one would hope).
    • Organizing & design is fairly simple with click & drag parameters.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Presto was not designed for large fact fact joins. This is by design as presto does not leverage disk and used memory for processing which in turn makes it fast.. However, this is a tradeoff..in an ideal world, people would like to use one system for all their use cases, and presto should get exhaustive by solving this problem.
    • Resource allocation is not similar to YARN and presto has a priority queue based query resource allocation..so a query that takes long takes longer...this might be alleviated by giving some more control back to the user to define priority/override.
    • UDF Support is not available in presto. You will have to write your own functions..while this is good for performance, it comes at a huge overhead of building exclusively for presto and not being interoperable with other systems like Hive, SparkSQL etc.

    • A quick button for devs to switch instances into a dev mode (eliminating logs, and such).
    • Licensing is far too complicated. Simplify pricing.

    Well-suited in the security domain, high performance, and low latency of the DBMS. In terms of the DBA perspective, a dedicated monitoring tool (Cockpit) helps a lot in terms of managing the database, which helps in identifying bottlenecks during performance issues. Also, it helps us to send custom alerts related to Database activities.

    Presto is good for a templated design appeal. You cannot be too creative via this interface - but, the layout and options make the finalized visual product appealing to customers. The other design products I use are for different purposes and not really comparable to Presto.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • Presto has helped scale Uber's interactive data needs. We have migrated a lot out of proprietary tech like Vertica.
    • Presto has helped build data driven applications on its stack than maintain a separate online/offline stack.
    • Presto has helped us build data exploration tools by leveraging it's power of interactive and is immensely valuable for data scientists.

    • Positive ROI.
    • Ease of use with minimal training required to write high performance SQL (assumes a knowledge of SQL already).
    • Ease of database administration.
    • Sometimes upgrades can be difficult.
    • Changing platforms can be difficult (changing say from SPARC to Intel).
    • Changing operating systems can be difficult (changing from Solaris to linux).
