Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""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.""It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."

"The most valuable feature is the ease of running queries.""The cloud is ten times better than physical hardware; it is more cost-effective and the upgrade process is ten times easier.""The product is reliable."

Cons
"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.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."

More SAP IQ Cons →

"Stability-wise, we have had some issues with automation and the ability to handle large datasets.""The cost of Teradata Cloud Data Warehouse has room for improvement.""It could be a bit more user-friendly."
