Presto is an open source SQL query engine designed to run queries on data stored in Hadoop or in traditional databases.
Teradata supported development of Presto followed the acquisition of Hadapt and Revelytix.

Chose Apache Hive
One of the major advantages of using Presto or the main reason why people use Presto (Teradata) is due to that fact it can support multiple data sources - which is lacking as in the case of Apache Hive. But still, most people who come from a Structured data-based background …

We selected Hive because it supports SQL, schema and provides structure on top of hadoop. Having data structured has its benefits, especially if there are thousands of users processing on the same data over and over again. Pig provides the ability to process unstructured data. …

Presto is slightly less reliable but much faster for interactive querying. These tools would not be replacements for each other, but rather complements.

Community support and ease of use -not deployment.
It enables querying and analyzing large amounts of data stored in HDFS, on the petabyte scale. It has a query language called HQL that transforms SQL queries into MapReduce jobs that run on Hadoop, and it is wonderful for the …

Hive was one of the first SQL on Hadoop technologies, and it comes bundled with the main Hadoop distributions of HDP and CDH. Since its release, it has gained good improvements, but selecting the right SQL on Hadoop technology requires a good understanding of the strengths and …

Chose Presto
I think Presto is one of the best solutions out there today at the cutting edge for interactive query analysis. One of the challenges is presto is a niche tool for the interactive query use case and doesn't have the knobs and whistles as much as Spark. In the foreseeable future …

Apache Hive and Presto are both analytics engines that businesses can use to generate insights and enable data analytics. Apache Hive is a data warehousing tool designed to easily output analytics results to Hadoop. In contrast, Presto is built to process SQL queries of any size at high speeds. Both tools are most popular with mid sized businesses and larger enterprises that perform a large volume of SQL queries.
Features
Apache Hive and Presto both enable organizations to perform queries on business data, but they also have some standout features that set them apart from each other.
Apache Hive is designed to facilitate analytics on large amounts of data, while also providing storage for the results in the form of tables. Businesses using Hadoop will appreciate that Apache Hive is built on top of the Hadoop File System, making it easy to integrate Apache Hive into their existing infrastructure. Businesses will get the most out of Apache Hive if they are performing ad-hoc queries on large datasets.
Presto is an open source sql query engine that can manage and run both simple, small queries, as well as large, complex queries. Businesses will appreciate that Presto can run queries at high speeds, making it a good choice for businesses that want to run a lot of queries without being delayed. It is worth noting, that for businesses using Hadoop that want the high query speed offered by Presto, it does include an integration with Apache Hive.
Limitations
Apache Hive and Presto are both popular choices for businesses seeking analytics engines, with some even using both, but they also have some limitations that are important to consider.
Apache Hive provides excellent support for large datasets and businesses that use Hadoop, but it can’t run SQL queries as fast as Presto. Businesses looking for the fastest option available may need to consider other options. Additionally, Apache Hive includes built in support for Hadoop, but businesses using other tools will not be able to take advantage of those benefits.
Presto provides fast support for SQL queries, but it doesn’t include built in support for the Hadoop File System, and requires other tools to function for that use case. Businesses looking for a quick solution that works with Hadoop out of the box may prefer Apache Hive. Additionally, businesses less concerned with scalability and maximum query speed may prefer the support for large datasets provided by Apache Hive.
Pricing
Apache Hive and Presto are both open source tools, so the source code for each one is available for free.
Software work execution is on a large scale, it is good to use for new projects or organizational changes, data lineage mapping has always been dubious but this one has had good results. You can store and synchronize data from different departments, the storage process can be manual but it is best automated.

Presto is for interactive simple queries, where Hive is for reliable processing. If you have a fact-dim join, presto is great..however for fact-fact joins presto is not the solution.. Presto is a great replacement for proprietary technology like Vertica

Apache Hive allows use to write expressive solutions to complex problems thanks to its SQL-like syntax.
Relatively easy to set up and start using.
Very little ramp-up to start using the actual product, documentation is very thorough, there is an active community, and the code base is constantly being improved.

Linking, embedding links and adding images is easy enough.
Once you have become familiar with the interface, Presto becomes very quick & easy to use (but, you have to practice & repeat to know what you are doing - it is not as intuitive as one would hope).
Organizing & design is fairly simple with click & drag parameters.

Presto was not designed for large fact fact joins. This is by design as presto does not leverage disk and used memory for processing which in turn makes it fast.. However, this is a tradeoff..in an ideal world, people would like to use one system for all their use cases, and presto should get exhaustive by solving this problem.
Resource allocation is not similar to YARN and presto has a priority queue based query resource allocation..so a query that takes long takes longer...this might be alleviated by giving some more control back to the user to define priority/override.
UDF Support is not available in presto. You will have to write your own functions..while this is good for performance, it comes at a huge overhead of building exclusively for presto and not being interoperable with other systems like Hive, SparkSQL etc.

Hive is a very good big data analysis and ad-hoc query platform, which supports scaling also. The BI processes can be easily integrated with Hadoop via the Hive. It can deal with a much larger data set that traditional RDBMS can not. It is a "must-have" component of the big data domain.

Apache Hive is a FOSS project and its open source. We need not definitely comment on anything about the support of open source and its developer community. But, it has got tremendous developer support, awesome documentation. I would justify the fact that much support can be gathered from the community backup.

Besides Hive, I have used Google BigQuery, which is costly but have very high computation speed. Amazon Redshift is the another product, I used in my recent organisation. Both Redshift and BigQuery are managed solution whereas Hive needs to be managed

Presto is good for a templated design appeal. You cannot be too creative via this interface - but, the layout and options make the finalized visual product appealing to customers. The other design products I use are for different purposes and not really comparable to Presto.
