Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable feature is the ability to interact with teachers in real-time and manage lessons after class.""The tool's most valuable features for us are its combination of formatting, ETL, analytics, and storage capabilities."

More Kovair Data Lake Pros →

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

Cons
"The solution is expensive. For future releases, it would be beneficial if Kovair Data Lake could enhance its ETL and data capabilities.""Maybe the chat conversation feature could be improved."

More Kovair Data Lake Cons →

"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.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""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."
