"It will be MPP, so performance should improve."
"The performance is okay as long as the volume of queries is not too high."
"It is a highly stable solution and it's easy to use."
"Technical support is okay in terms of the help they provide."
"The most valuable feature is that you can suspend the computer if it is not being used, which means that you don't incur costs."

"Ultimately, the product itself has challenges and we are not currently satisfied with the support, either."
"Right now, we are implementing on ESX VMware 6.0. Support for this platform is poor. Also, one of the backup/recovery options is broken and IBM is not addressing the issue."
"The platform is not flexible, and the graphical user interface needs to be improved because the interface makes it hard for the end user to use it."
"I would like to see them provide the ingestion of images."
"It would be of interest to improve things like the web service integration and availability in terms of being easy to create internal web services in the database."
"The cost of the solution has room for improvement."
"The initial setup is complex."
"One area for improvement could be better integration with Power BI, as well as data integration with BW."
"While the solution is flexible, sometimes this works against the user."
"Indicating what areas need improvement in this solution is a difficult question because the organizations that I am working for are really new in this area. However, an even better more simple interface, or perhaps an extension of a connector app store solution, would be helpful."
