Overall amazon redshift can provide the features I want and run my data analysis as a cloud dataware house tool

Pros

Cons

There are some small learning curve to onboard to amazon redshift and to integrate with your external app.

Pros

I liked that Redshift makes it easy to analyze large amounts of data quickly. It stores data in a way that speeds up queries, and it works well with other AWS services to help manage data and analytics.

Cons

I found that Redshift can be expensive when handling very large datasets and sometimes query performance can slow down if the system isn’t optimized properly. It also requires some setup and tuning to get the best results

In my Opinion AWS redshift is an average product, the syntax and methods you have to use if you are used to using SQL server you will find to be more long winded or searching for alternatives ways. Basic items like parameters in stored procedures after a lot more complex than required.

Pros

It is a good tool for combining multiple data sources into one place. It is not really useful to load data in a delta approach but to fully reload the data source.

Cons

Its ETL process always wants you to create objects as S3 objects which most of the time is fine but you then end up storing the data twice, once in the 3s and then again in Redshift unless you code to delete the S3 files after loading.

Amazon Redshift helped us creating standard reports for advertising activities and proved to be a valuable data source for our visual dahsboards

Pros

Amazon Redshift allowed us to organize efficiently all our data, both for reporting and visualization purposes. You can use SQL syntax to query the tables and to extract all the info you need. It supports multiple datatypes with many data compression solutions to save disk space and money. The Amazon Redshift console (on the AWS dashboard) allows you to keep track of your db performances, from query execution time to disk space used, and displays also wise recommendation on how to manage properly your tables.

Cons

There is nothing I can complain about Amazon Redshift.

Overall the Redshift experience is great and it can be used build your data warehouses.

Pros

The Redshift provided various data connector to get data from different sources . The data distribution can be defined while creating a table , which helps the SQL query to minimize the i/o operations , which intern increases the speed of the reports .

Cons

The redshift data distribution in disk is difficult at times to decide when you are build large data warehouses . The rival product like snowflake make it easy for the users as all of the data distributions are being taken care internally.

Pros

他のＡＷＳ製品だけでなく、ニッチな製品を含む多くのツールとデータのやり取りを行うことができる。

Cons

ＳＱＬ言語をベースとしたコードなので、複雑なＥＴＬが必要な場合、コードが不要に長くなってしまったり、分かりにくく書かなければならない時がある。２０２２年初めにＰＩＶＯＴ関数が導入されたりと柔軟性は高まってきているものの、ループ処理など含め、やはり他のＥＴＬツールと比べると開発しづらい面がある。

Reasons for choosing Amazon Redshift
