Optimized restaurant analytics has driven faster insights and streamlined daily reporting
Amazon Redshift offers massive parallel processing capability, allowing it to handle millions of records, along with integration with other AWS features such as S3 and QuickSight. The column-level storage supports high performance and easy data retrieval compared to other tools. The integration with S3 has helped my team immensely since S3 is our starting source, and the direct integration with Amazon Redshift simplifies the transformation and loading process. Columnar storage has benefited our performance significantly, allowing us to extract specific rows from tables with years of data much faster than other tools with row-level storage. Amazon Redshift has positively impacted our organization by significantly improving query performance and speed. Features such as easy integration with S3 allow us to process millions of records efficiently, ultimately saving us nearly one hour per day for our project.

Excellent reporting server that is compatible with MySQL
We ran into some quirks that Infobright had. We interacted with Infobright's support and were able to resolve them. There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance). This would mean that redundancy is something you need to implement yourself.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Redshift is its cluster."
"Redshift allows you to transform different data formats and consolidate them into one Redshift cluster. This means you can transform various siloed data sources like Excel files and CSV files into Redshift."
"The solution has very competitive pricing."
"The seamless connection and good scalability on the cloud are valuable features of Amazon Redshift."
"It is quite simple to use and there are no issues with creating the tables."
"In terms of valuable features, I like the columnar storage that Redshift provides, and the storage is one of the key features that we're looking for, along with the data updates and the latency between the data-refreshes."
"I have primarily used the Redshift Spectrum feature and found it most valuable."
"The return on investment of moving from an on-premise to a completely cloud-hosted data platform is significantly high and worth the effort."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"The performance of ad hoc aggregation queries is superior to any RDBMS that I have used and I have used them all."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
 

Cons

"Migrating data from other data sources can be challenging when you are working with multibyte character sets."
"The initial setup is a complex process, especially for someone who is not familiar with nodes and configuring terms like RPUs."
"We recently moved from the DC2 cluster to the RA3 cluster, which is a different node type and we are finding some issues with the RA3 cluster regarding connection and processing. There is room for improvement in this area. We are in talks with AWS regarding the connection issues."
"Amazon Redshift could improve the user interface support."
"One of my previous customers told me they were migrating off Redshift because they hit the ceiling and had scalability issues."
"Amazon Redshift does not work alone and requires integration with other AWS tools like S3 and Glue for a complete ecosystem."
"This solution could be cheaper, but Amazon could constantly add new instances and decrease the size from previous ones, so it could be an AWS work model."
"One area where Amazon Redshift could improve is in adopting the compute-separate, data-separate architecture, which Delta, Snowflake are adopting, and a few others in the cloud data warehouse spectrum."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"We didn’t purchase the Enterprise Edition because it was too expensive for a product that wasn’t going to replace our main DWH database (Oracle), but was, somehow, only an addition for it."
"After all the re-work to our product to remove as much reliance on Infobright, and the extra hardware costs we had to absorb, there was definitely a negative return on investment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Amazon Redshift is reasonable because it depends on the usage that you use and for DWH for the long term."
"It's around $200 US dollars. There are some data transfer costs but it's minimal, around $20."
"The part that I like best is that you only pay for what you are using."
"The best part about this solution is the cost."
"It's not very pricey compared to other tools. I would rate the price as 5 out of 10."
"My customers have implementations that cost about $500 a month for a very small one. I also have a customer with a monthly invoice of about $25,000 USD."
"I have heard complaints about the solution’s pricing, and thus I rate it as a five."
"The cost must be improved."
"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
