"One of the most valuable features is the stability."
"There's a good online community that can help users troubleshoot issues."
"Oracle offers good security and supports customization."
"It has automatic memory management capability and large file capability."
"We find the solution to be stable."
"I like the performance power and the interface of the solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The product is very expensive."
"Initial setup was complex because of the odd way the application used the database, the application vendor's conversion tools, and our stringent requirements."
"The licensing could be cheaper and clearer."
"The user interface could be better."
"I can only remember that setting up Oracle Database was a pain because it uses Java."
"Oracle support is helpful, and they resolve all our issues, but sometimes the response to our clients isn't as prompt as we'd like."
"The product's price can be lower since it is a bit of an expensive solution."
"Lacks features that would improve database performance."
"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."
"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."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
