I would rate the stability as nine out of ten since AWS provides a relatively resilient solution in general due to load balancing and auto scaling capabilities.

In terms of stability, I would say Redshift's workload management is generally stable. However, the way Redshift distributes the workload is not as scalable. I often don't have clear visibility into what queries are on hold, their priorities, or other relevant information. 

On the other hand, Snowflake provides more transparent insights into the queue and running queries, and it also informs me when the queue will be drained. Snowflake's multi-cluster approach to handling workloads surpasses Redshift in these aspects.

Data Analyst Lead at Vectornator

We've had some cases where queries would get stuck, and we'd be on them for ages. I don't have the transparency to see what other queries are already running or if we're running out of some kind of resource. There weren't many major problems, but sometimes we'd get these annoying issues, especially when running complex queries.

We sometimes have issues with stability, especially over the weekends. It performs, of course, but sometimes there are problems.

We have an SLA of 99.99%. The product is available most of the time. The vendor maintains the SLA well. They also have a scheduled maintenance window.

I don't see any issues with data loss or any other problems. Although there might be some loss in the data center, we monitor it, and everything is enabled. In such scenarios, the turn-up time is much faster. We've been using it since 2018, and I've got the same product for another customer using a limited rate. So, I don't see any significant impact, and it's a very stable product.

Stability-wise, it has a lot of issues with threats, and that is why we went for a threat shift optimization. In short, I mean to say that it is not stable at all.

Stability-wise, I rate the solution an eight out of ten. I can't remember what stability issues we had faced in the past, but I feel that it was due to overloading clusters.

I have encountered stability issues. A few weeks ago, I encountered an issue with hardware failure and database health status failure. When we face these kind of issues, we can't do anything from our side until the Amazon technical team finds the issue and rectifies it. It takes time to get resolved. If we are in a rush to deliver something for a client and encountered these issue, we are really screwed.

I once had an issue because my data contained a Unicode NULL character in a VARCHAR field ("\u0000"). The AWS support has been very quick and helpful to respond. Other than that, I have had no issues whatsoever.
