What do you like best?

Great, performant, stable tool. We switched over from Cloudera's Hive/Impala and it was a huge improvement.

What do you like least/what could be improved?

The price. It is expensive and we need to keep a close eye on cloud costs.

What key advice would you give to other companies looking to introduce/use the product?

Small POCs, validate its true cost, invest time in optimizing data-models and/or queries. Every cent spent in query optimization saves $$ on the medium long term.

How would you sum up your experience?

Expensive but love it.
