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.

What problems is EXASOL solving and how is that benefiting you?

It tackles the tension between data democratisation and security. With their new MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, we can allow AI agents and non-technical users to query the database in natural language without granting direct SQL access. That creates a read-only safety layer that helps prevent accidental data deletion, while still giving the business the real-time insights it needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
