Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Data Warehouse's data integrity features. Data integrity is what databases are made for as opposed to spreadsheets."
"We can store the data in a data lake for a very low cost."
"It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions."
"Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse provides good firewall processing in terms of response time."
"I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support."
"It is a very stable database."
"The data transmissions between the data models is the most valuable feature."
"It performs very well overall."
"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 column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"They need to incorporate a machine learning engine."
"It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base."

"SQL installation is pretty tricky. The scalability and customer support also should be improved."
"The product does not have all of the features that the native products have."
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement."
"Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"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 room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
