Microsoft Parallel Data Warehouse Pros and Cons

Collecting the data through SSIS packages from different sources and putting them all in one data repository is the most powerful thing. While others have this feature, they don't have the simplicity or ease of use when getting a resource and knowing everything about it.

It is not a pricey product compared to other data warehouse solutions.

I am very satisfied with the customer service/technical support.

One of the most important features is the ease of using MS SQL.

The most valuable feature is the business intelligence (BI) part of it.

The most valuable feature of this solution is performance.

The most valuable features are the performance and usability.

Tools like the BI and SAS are excellent.

We are able to monitor daily jobs, so if there is anything that needs to be done then we can do it.

The most valuable feature for me is querying.

I would like the tool to support different operating systems.

It could be made more user-friendly for business users which would increase the user base.

They need to incorporate a machine learning engine.

In the future I would love to see a slightly better automation engine, just for the data integration layer, to make it slightly easier for end-users or junior developers to get involved in incremental updating.

I think that the error messages need to be made more specific.

This solution would be improved with an option for in-memory data analysis.

The reporting for certain types of data needs to be improved.

More tools to help designers should be included.

We find the cost of the solution to be a little high.

If the database is large with a lot of columns then it is difficult to clean the data.

I would like to see better visualization features.
