"KX is an incredible company with the best time-series database in the world."
What do you like best about KX?

The continuous growth and improvement despite being the best in the world at what they do. Their platform, support and development are second to none. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KX?

Nothing against KX, rather there is not much external material on KDB so the learning curve is a bit steep. But once you understand how it works there is no better tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best ecosystem for quants and data engineers"
What do you like best about KX?

- Good integration with other technologies and tools like python and Java

- The ecosystem is just nice, everything is in place, language, documentation, vs code plugin, own IDE (KX developer), dashboards.

- Good community usually questions on StackOverflow answered on the same day, also they have a forum, free courses and a Slack community Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KX?

- Not so many companies use it, although it is very popular in the finance sector

- It requires knowledge, time, and dedication, but which tool is not?

- No so many open source projects to learn from Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"KX-Dashboard provides quick way to create a real-time dashboard"
What do you like best about KX?

I use KX's kx-dashboard product to create user reports/dashboards , I found it very easy to create the user reports / dashboard using ox-dashboard.

In our organisation we have moved from very wel know dashboard creation product to kx-dashboard . As we found it is faster and has few better functionalities like breadcrum and pivote data grid.

I have also created this https://lnkd.in/dWFzFtCe video to showcase how can we create real-time dashboard using ox product .. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about KX?

For learning KX kdb it does take some time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
