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 is very easy to dump data into the tool."
"We have found Machine Learning use cases are very nice."
"The product is relatively easy to use because there is no indexing and no partitions."
"It allows for the storage of huge amounts of data."
"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."
"Easy to build out our snowflake design and load data."
"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."
"Has a very user-friendly SQL editor and it's very easy to use the connectors."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is one of the things that it could improve. It should be more competitive."
"Planting is the primary key enforcement that should be improved."
"The initial deployment was complex."
"Migrating data from other data sources can be challenging when you are working with multibyte character sets."
"The speed of the solution and its portability needs improvement."
"Redshift's GUI could be more user-friendly. It's easier to perform queries and all that stuff in Azure Synapse Analytics."
"The customer support could be more responsive."
"Containers get corrupted very easily. Restoring them using GPFS can result in a lot of issues."
"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"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."
