Fast query processing and easy-to-store all the data
There are very few companies that are using Exasol, but the majority of companies are using SQL Server, Cloud or IBM Db2 Database, or any other databases. Therefore, the resources are limited, which is my only concern. So if I face any issues, limited resources are available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol. From that perspective, it can be a bit of a struggle for me to find a solution. In the next release, I would like to see better compatibility issues. Currently, Exasol has limited compatibility with other software like Python and R. For example, If I talk about SQL Server, we can connect it to big data or Python, which is also compatible with different servers.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"This solution is extremely fast and very stable; you set it up and put your data on it and as long as it's structured, it self-tunes queries and doesn't require a database administrator."
"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"It is easy to scale."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"Oracle is a more automated database."
"The modernization aspect of Oracle Multitenant is significant; it wasn't available previously in database technology, but now it is, enhancing database consolidation."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"With the right configurations, you can maintain an environment without retaining the risk of losing any kind of data."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"The ability to create multiple databases without using any additional memory and CPU, and reallocating resources among these databases as needed, dynamically, without restarting."
"The cloning features are outstanding."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
 

Cons

"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"The price is quite expensive relative to other similar solutions, it could be more accessible in that sense."
"From the scope of improvement, I would say that people are adopting new query options. Certain databases like MongoDB adopt new query options so that they can just pull the data."
"The only issue is that shared files for the main container affect all container databases if something happens to them."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
"That said, Oracle in general doesn't invest in their UI for any of their applications. If we're talking about the dashboard or other user experience, there is room for improvement. I'm talking about on premises. The cloud version has started to improve."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"The main area for improvement is regarding backup and recovery. Today, it’s difficult to set a pluggable database to a former point in time because flashback pluggable database doesn’t exist."
"Even though we say Unplug Plug Upgrade is a very good feature and it does work, we are seeing that sometimes it takes longer than what we expect for larger databases."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is mid-ranged."
"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is worth the quality."
