We performed a comparison between Amazon Redshift and IBM Db2 Warehouse on Cloud based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's scalable because it's on the cloud."
"The valuable features are performance, data compression, and scalability."
"I have primarily used the Redshift Spectrum feature and found it most valuable."
"Redshift's Excel features are handy. Redshift spectrum allows you to directly query the data on an Excel sheet. Now, SQL Server also allows this, but Redshift has many more features."
"The most valuable feature of Amazon Redshift is its ability to handle really large sets of data."
"Redshift COPY command, because much of my work involved helping customers migrate large amounts of data into Redshift."
"We have found Machine Learning use cases are very nice."
"Setup is easy. It's a fast solution with machine learning features, good integration, and a good API."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The initial setup is a complex process, especially for someone who is not familiar with nodes and configuring terms like RPUs."
"We are using third-party tools to integrate Amazon Redshift, they should create their own interface on their own for it to be easily connected on the AWS itself."
"Amazon Redshift is a little more expensive than other products."
"If you require a highly scalable solution, I would not recommend Amazon Redshift."
"When working with third-party services requires additional integrations and configurations, which can sometimes add more cost."
"It would be nice if we could turn off an instance. However, it would retain the instance in history, thus allowing us to restart without beginning from scratch."
"Pricing is one of the things that it could improve. It should be more competitive."
"Sometimes, it's difficult to get the metadata from Redshift."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Tech support for dashDB is awful. We usually have tickets open for three to four weeks."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
