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 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."
"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."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
