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."Amazon Redshift is very fast. It has really good response times. It's very user-friendly."
"I like it because the usage is very similar to Microsoft SQL server. The structure of the query and the temporary tables are very similar."
"It's scalable because it's on the cloud."
"The most valuable feature is its scalability."
"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 you write complex queries and perform row by row processes."
"This service can merge and integrate well with all databases."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The way that it scales will help a lot of customers that are stuck with Netezza boxes that can't grow any larger."
"Amazon Redshift could improve the user interface support."
"Planting is the primary key enforcement that should be improved."
"The customer support could be more responsive."
"There are too many limitations with respect to concurrency."
"They should provide a better way to work with interim data in a structured way than to store it in parquet files locally."
"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."
"If you require a highly scalable solution, I would not recommend Amazon Redshift."
"Improvement could be made in the area of streaming data."
"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."
"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."
