Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle.""Its speed is great.""Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect.""The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed.""It is easy to scale.""We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."

More Exasol Pros →

"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short.""The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms.""The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed.""The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown.""It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data.""The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines.""The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."

Cons
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime.""Lacks a cloud-based platform.""They should improve the security features for MPP processing.""The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with.""It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often.""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.""They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."

More Exasol Cons →

"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally.""The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings.""There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great.""Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial.""For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback.""It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks.""We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
