"The best ecosystem for quants and data engineers"

5/5

What do you like best about KX?

- You can feel that the product is made with love. The syntax is very powerful, so you can write short statements instead of long SQL queries

- Speed is insane.

- 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.
