"Fast, Powerful Analytical Tool"
What do you like best about EXASOL?

AI Integration: The AI Lab and UDF (User Defined Functions) let you run Python, R, or Java scripts directly within the database, so you can execute machine learning models right where the data lives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

Smaller Ecosystem/Community: Compared to giants like Snowflake or Databricks, the community is smaller. This can mean fewer third-party integrations and a smaller pool of pre-built "connectors" for niche SaaS tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lightning-fast support and efficiency increase with EXASOL"
What do you like best about EXASOL?

I like the very good service at EXASOL, especially when there are problems. A new driver was provided with very high speed and efficiency.
