Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The deployment of our solution across a number of servers using Ingres .NET has meant that we can protect the database server behind a highly secure firewall and deploy the front end solutions on a normal web server."

More Actian Ingres Pros →

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

Cons
"The ability to reset the log file without stopping the DBMS would be helpful for us."

More Actian Ingres Cons →

"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""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.""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."
