What do you like best about EXASOL?

Performance, performance and performance for sure. That's awasome when you can query billion of rows and get results in less than one second. Quite impressive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

However, sometimes Exasol optimizer chooses a non-efective way to execute complex queries. But I guess all of the database could have the same issues. Luckily there is some possibilities and tricks to make optimizer creating the better plan and improve performance, e.g. preprocessor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In Exasol, I found that I can do a lot more with my same skill set without learn much more knew skills and in the same environment I can do a lot more and build things so quickly that I needed more time before. Exasol has great performance, reliability, and ease to use the database is amazing. Never fails once configured correctly :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

I haven't seen anything so far, it worked in every case scenario that I needed :). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A high-performance database for Analytics. Would definitely recommend it."
5/5
What do you like best about EXASOL?

My first experience with Exasol was revealing: when migrating our data warehouse we saw many reports running in 1/10 of the time.

This extraordinary performance allowed to, over time, squeeze much more value from the database, while keeping low maintenance and development costs.

For my Analytics department, migrating to Exasol was the single most important step that we took to provide a better service to business, assure quick development cycles and incur in minimal admin effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

Scripting capabilities can be enhanced and better documented. It is not always easy to find resources capable to program with Lua scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about EXASOL?

EXASOL is an incredibly powerful database - its performance mean that I never have to worry about computational efficiency when designing analytics pipelines and can focus on building in complex logic that will allow us to make sure our tool will serve the needs of our field staff.

The EXASOL team has proven to be excellent - both in terms of their willingness to support me queries and their technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

It is actually to come up with a list of grievances I have with EXASOL - using the database has been an incredible smooth experience from the start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best choice for on-premise, getting better in the cloud"
4.5/5
What do you like best about EXASOL?

+ Amazing performance in general;

+ Cost-to-performance ratio is very competitive, you'll need much less hardware;

+ Efficient indexed JOINs, probably best in class;

+ Flexible UDF scripts, can be implemented in any programming language and run in parallel; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EXASOL?

- Lack of native support for composite data types;

- Lack of native partial backup (per-table, per-schema), must use EXPORT instead;

- Detection of data lineage is a bit difficult, unless you implement it yourself externally;

- Cloud capabilities are not fully utilised (yet), but it's not a problem for "on-premise"; Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
