Overall Satisfaction with Amazon Redshift

We are using Amazon Redshift as our main data warehouse to store most of our data, the whole process consists in extract the data from different sources, we do some transformations when needed and the data is finally stored in Amazon Redshift in order to be used afterward by one of our Business Intelligence tools.
  • Easy setup (if you are on AWS Cloud Environment, just few clicks)
  • Easy learn (Good documentation)
  • Speed
  • It could bring some more features like we do have in Snowflake (Mainly the UI)
  • Nice connectors
  • Scalability
  • Security
  • We moved some of our data from Snowflake to Amazon Redshift which in our case saved us some money
Amazon Redshifts has fewer features but at the same time, you also have some gains once it is running on AWS Cloud and it is really easy to set up. Besides that, in our case, it is a bit cheaper and we don't really need the extra features that you can find on Snowflake. Another thing that looks easier for us is the way to scale the instance.

If you are looking for a data warehouse where you don't need to worry about maintenance and scalability, Amazon Redshift should be one of your options once it is a self-managed data warehouse with many connectors and easy usage as well. Besides that, if your environment runs on AWS, it is even easier to integrate.
