Amazon Athena is a program that is wonderful because it doesn't require you to download any bloated or unnecessary software. When you want to use a browser-based program to interpret and analyze your data using your S3, this is a great go-to. Querying data in CSV or Parquet format without having to overload your system is a huge plus that is extremely helpful.
- Pay only for the data you store. Huge money-saver right there.
- Being able to query using a browser-based system.
- Compatibility with other programs is a nice feature that is very useful.
- I wish that the program provided individualized access for different users instead of everyone seeing everything.
- Initial setup can be a bit tedious for those unfamiliar with this type of querying.
- Support can be a little lacking when it comes to additional features.
