"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."

"The solution's pricing is very high."
"Since the product is an appliance, it is very costly."

"It would be good if Exadata made some new features available regarding data retrieval and speed capacity functions."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
