More AtScale Adaptive Analytics (A3) Pros →

"It is highly efficient and easily scalable, particularly for handling large databases.""It helps us fetch specific data sets per users' requirements.""The solution is scalable.""Unlike relational, where you're linking together multiple tables, with Essbase, you basically define what the dimensions are beforehand, and you define the hierarchy, and then load the data. This allows you to do a pretty sophisticated analysis so that you can drill into it and slice and dice the data.""The solution can handle a large volume of data.""I have found the most valuable aspect is the user-friendly environment and current features.""Essbase is extremely stable and low-maintenance.""The solution is stable and reliable."
