There are very few companies that are using Exasol, but the majority of companies are using SQL Server, Cloud or IBM Db2 Database, or any other databases. Therefore, the resources are limited, which is my only concern. So if I face any issues, limited resources are available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol. From that perspective, it can be a bit of a struggle for me to find a solution. In the next release, I would like to see better compatibility issues. Currently, Exasol has limited compatibility with other software like Python and R. For example, If I talk about SQL Server, we can connect it to big data or Python, which is also compatible with different servers.

The automatic optimization feature is highly effective for performance tuning. It handles low-level tasks, allowing me to focus on creating new solutions without getting bogged down in minor details. Its user-friendliness and intuitive design make it a pleasure to work with. Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect. Its robust support for general SQL means I don't have to learn a new system, meaning its essentially a "plug and play" experience. The up-to-date documentation is a significant help, and I genuinely enjoy reading it. If you need a specific feature, you can simply search the help page, saving you the time and effort of hunting for the information you require.
