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

"With Amazon Redshift, we gained a lot in terms of timing, as well as project completion."
"The tool's most valuable feature is its parallel processing capability. It can handle massive amounts of data, even when pushing hundreds of terabytes, and its scaling capabilities are good."
"The solution is scalable. It handles different loads very well."
"The product offers good support for the data lake."
"Redshift's versioning and data security are the two most critical features; when migrating into the cloud, it's vital to secure the data, and the encryption and security are there."
"If the analyst knows SQL, which is comfortable and easy to use to go between all of these tool stacks, I think it's reliable. It's a secure and reliable data warehouse."
"I found the Amazon Redshift computing services easy. I found the computing instances the most incredible in the solution."
"All this at an extremely low price makes it possible for small to medium sized organizations to use Redshift’s power to get business insights."
"It is very straightforward and easy to work with."
"ICE helped us improve the speed for the “group-by” query by 10x."
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"
"We now have multiple times faster queries in comparison to MS SQL."
"Infobright allowed us to reduce the number of moving parts and complexity that we had while providing good performance to produce our reports."
"A valuable feature was the use of a columnar database for large, ever-growing, big datasets."
"Infobright gave us the ability to avoid significant changes in our data structure and just use Infobright like BigDataMySql."
"The high compression and the relatively fast load for a free product."
 

Cons

"Amazon should bring more SQL functions that are required in data warehouse implementations."
"If we are in a rush to deliver something for a client and encountered these issue, we are really screwed."
"When working with third-party services requires additional integrations and configurations, which can sometimes add more cost."
"There is some missing functionality and sometimes it's so difficult to work in. We need to convert these functionalities using VACUUM inside Amazon Redshift and then it causes some complexity."
"Pricing needs improvement as the solution is expensive."
"The only minor issue I faced was that it took a bit longer than expected to change the cluster to have more space or storage."
"Migrating data from other data sources can be challenging when you are working with multibyte character sets."
"They should provide a better way to work with interim data in a structured way than to store it in parquet files locally."
"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."
"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."
"MPP, distributed processing!!! And better integration with Hadoop."
"When running a complex subquery, the system hangs without giving the user any response."
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."
"There still are issues with data replication - Infobright is currently for one server (unless you buy the Infobright appliance)."
"On the contrary, we have switched back to the MS SSAS Tabular Model, because of pricing policy."
"There was no scalability at all. Infobright didn't permit any changes in tables."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution has very competitive pricing."
"The best part about this solution is the cost."
"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."
"I have heard complaints about the solution’s pricing, and thus I rate it as a five."
"This solution implements the pay-as-you-use model, so no license. Pricing could be cheaper."
"The cost will depend on how you set up your warehouse and what kind of data you store."
"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."
"Our pricing was based on server instances and it was actually very cheap compared to Oracle. I guess you get what you pay for."
