Fast query processing and easy-to-store all the data

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."

"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."

"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."

"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."

"Its speed is great."

"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."

"It is easy to scale."

"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."

"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."

"We find the dashboard and the speed of data processing very valuable in Oracle Database In-Memory."

"The solution's ROI is excellent."

"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."

"We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency."

"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."

"The solution is very fast."

Cons

"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."

"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."

"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."

"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."

"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."

"Lacks a cloud-based platform."

"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."

"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."

"The product could benefit from enhancements in its graphical user interface."

"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."

"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."

"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."

"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."

"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."

"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."

"Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs."

"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."

"The platform's licensing cost needs improvement."

"The product is expensive."

"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."

"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."

"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."

"The solution's pricing is high."
