Featured Reviews

Saket Pandey - PeerSpot reviewer
Good solution for small and medium-sized businesses and highly stable
I would advise instead of only going through other reviews; it would be great if you could schedule a talk with the IBM team that would be helping you implement this solution. They would deep dive into the process and protocols you are currently set up in, and then they will provide you an optimal solution and optimal price. So I believe talking with the support team was really amazing. They even helped us in some other parts as well. It is a good solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Overall, I would rate the solution an eight out of ten because of the support team. They were able to resolve issues, which helped us deploy higher-grade solutions correctly and quickly. We were able to ensure that our processes were working correctly, and we saved about 15-16% of a week's time by using this solution. In terms of return on investment, we saved about $7,000 a month.

A robust solution with good support, but a better GUI for database management is needed
The biggest lesson that I have learned from using this solution is that a lot of evaluation should be done before starting. Also, we needed to put a lot of effort into understanding the different functions that the product offers. This allows you to best leverage the capability of the product. I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best part was that we could make minor changes in the way we were bifurcating the data, even at a very small scale. The accuracy of conversion was also very high."
"The need for administration involvement is quite limited on the solution."
"The most valuable feature is the performance."
"It is a back end for our SSIS, MicroStrategy,, Tableau. All of these are connecting to get the data. To do so we are also using our analytics which is built on the data."
"Speed contributes to large capacity."
"Data compression. It was relatively impressive. I think at some point we were getting 4:1 compression if not more."
"For me, as an end-user, everything that I do on the solution is simple, clear, and understandable."
"The performance of the solution is its most valuable feature. The solution is easy to administer as well. It's very user-friendly. On the technical side, the architecture is simple to understand and you don't need too many administrators to handle the solution."
 

Cons

"One area for improvement would be the initial setup stage, which took longer than expected."
"The solution could implement more reporting tools and networking utilities."
"This product is being discontinued from IBM, and I would like to have some kind of upgrade available."
"The Analytics feature should be simplified."
"Disaster recovery support. Because it was an appliance, and if you wanted to support disaster recovery, you needed to buy two."
"The most valuable features of this solution are robustness and support."
"In-DB processing with SAS Analytics, since this is supposed to be an analytics server so the expectation is there."
"Administration of this product is too tough. It's very complex because of the tools which it's missing."
"The hardware has a risk of failure. They need to improve this."
