Cons
"The solution is expensive and has room for improvement.""The product must provide more frequent updates.""​Concurrent queries are limited to 32, making it more of a data storage mechanism instead of an active DWH solution.""The query is slow if we don't optimize it.""It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base.""The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved.""Some compatibility issues occur during deployment, so we need to build the product from scratch for some features.""The only issue with the product is that the process is very slow when we have a huge amount of data."

More Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Cons →

"The product could provide more features.""I think more integration with other applications would be perfect.""The program is difficult to learn to use""Design and modeling could be simplified.""There are performance issues in terms of scalability and availability.""Connectors are complex, and it is difficult to understand or know which connector should be used. For instance, if I want to connect APIs, I will not be able to do it directly. I would have to go to the portal integration to get the data. Therefore, having simplified connectors will make things much easier.""It is difficult when your native language is not English. It is difficult for us to explain our issue and also difficult for the technical team to explain a resolution to us."
