Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The ease of deployment is useful so clients are up and running quickly in comparison to other products.""The most valuable feature is the ease of uploading data from multiple sources.""It's stable and reliable."

More Aster Data Map Reduce Pros →

"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.""Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database.""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.""Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance.""The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."

Cons
"There are some ways that the handling of unstructured data could be improved.""It is hard for some of our users to set up rules for cleansing and transforming data, so this is something that could be improved.""From my perspective, it would be good if they gave better ITIN/R plugins to use the data for AI modeling, or data science modeling. We can do it now; however, it could be more elegant in terms of interfacing."

More Aster Data Map Reduce Cons →

"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""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."

    Overview

    SQL-MapReduce is a framework created by Teradata Aster to allow developers to write powerful and highly expressive SQL-MapReduce functions in languages such as Java, C#, Python, C++, and R and push them into the discovery platform for high performance analytics. Analysts can then invoke SQL-MapReduce functions using standard SQL or R through Aster Database, the first discovery platform that allows applications to be fully embedded within the database engine to enable ultra-fast, deep analysis of massive data sets.

    SAP® IQ software delivers speed and power for extreme-scale enterprise data warehousing and analytics. Its column-oriented, grid-based massively parallel processing (MPP) architecture and patented data compression and indexing technologies enable companies to exploit the value of huge amounts of data at the speed of business.
