Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has very amazing smart grid query feature for very fast aggregate queries across millions of rows"

More Infobright DB Pros →

"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance.""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.""Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance.""It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable.""The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution.""Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."

Cons
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

More Infobright DB Cons →

"Concurrency and functional error messaging.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""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.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
