Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Redshift

We used the Amazon Redshift for Analytics Data Warehousing. It helped to process our various departments in organization like renewals, sales, marketing & finance department to analyze the data very quickly and performance effective with tableau reporting tool.
  • It's a columnar data storage architecture and which allows it to particularly run structured data query for reporting very fast.
  • We used amazon redshift cloud datawarehouse with Tableau, looker reporting tool and it has perfectly helped our reporting needs for business users.
  • Very easy to copy data from Amazon Web Services S3 storage container to Redshift Database with simple copy statements.
  • It provides built-in commands to table structure effectively with less use of memory.
  • AWS can provide some cheaper options with pre core cpu purchase rather than hourly charges on amazon redshift.
  • There are no options for on-premise set-up of the amazon redshift database.
  • Limited documentation on best practices for dist key, sort key and various amazon redshift specific commands.
  • It provides great returns due to its fast processing data analytics purpose.
  • It sometimes toss for cost of AWS Service with Amazon Redshift.
It's fast processing compared to other products and it's best for structured data analytics & data warehousing purpose.
The unique columnar data storage architecture compared to other products makes it the great choice for analytics projects.
It's the best option when we need to have a high volume of structured data analytics datawarehouse design & development. It perfectly reports fast with tableau reporting tool, even data around 300 million records. It's best suited where the organization is planning to build a custom datawarehouse rather than using any pre-packaged BI Apps data model.
