Challenges with Amazon Redshift

Cost
As data volumes increase, the cost of storage and compute in the warehouse becomes
challenging. AWS Redshift and Redshift Spectrum come with a premium cost, especially if you use Spectrum outside of AWS Redshift.

Vendor lock-in
Data warehouse vendors, like AWS Redshift, make it difficult to use your data outside of their services. Data would need to be pulled out of the warehouse and duplicated, further driving up compute costs.

Proprietary data formats
Data architects, data engineers, and analysts are required to use the data format supported by the data warehouse. No flexible or open data formats available.
