"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."

"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Its speed is great."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"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."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
