Overall Satisfaction with Apache Hive

I have used Apache Hive in [the] last 3 companies and it's being used by the multiple departments spread across data analytics, engineering, data science and product management.
It's being used for fetching and generating all the product metrics, for fetching legal data whenever required. All the product history data is stored in it,
It's the one stop cheaper solution for storing and fetching all the analytics data
  • It is very easy to set up and start with
  • Apache Hive is a cheaper solution for data warehousing and aggregation compared to other products
  • One of the cons is the speed which is slightly lesser as compare to other enterprise solutions like BigQuery
  • Also, It needs to be maintained by the company itself
  • It's one of the top data warehouse solution
  • All the metrics computation and adhoc analysis is done using Apache Hive
Besides Hive, I have used Google BigQuery, which is costly but have very high computation speed.
Amazon Redshift is the another product, I used in my recent organisation.
Both Redshift and BigQuery are managed solution whereas Hive needs to be managed
