Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."The solution returns data quickly, and data retrieval is fast in kdb+."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"The solution should have a more user-friendly user interface."
"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."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
