More Infobright DB Pros →

"Overall deployment and integration is pretty fast.""I like SQL post, which is for storage and distributed computing. Another good feature is the copy activity.""The architecture, including compute and storage, is good.""The features we've found most valuable for data warehouses is extracting data, SSIS packages, and the DBs.""We have found that it is easy to develop and to do the analytics in the modules of data.""They are available on the Cloud, and the platform is very intuitive.""The most valuable feature is performance gains.""The ability to scale out services on-demand and scale them down when they are not required is most valuable. You are in control of your expenditures, and you are also in control of the horsepower that you need. That's a major advantage."

Cons
"Only the data from the columns that reached 2GB will actually decrease. Other columns below 2GB in size do not leave the disk."

More Infobright DB Cons →

"It's stable, but its stability could be better. However, we understand that it's in production, and new features are getting added and upgraded, so you do get hiccups sometimes.""Non-structured data is unavailable with this product.""Its stability is an issue. They have been releasing a version every six months to one year, which means that there are many versions available, and clients are not up to speed on the latest one that they're offering. From a stability point of view, they could do better. They're still upgrading their Synapse Analytics workspace, and it is not that stable. Its scalability can also be better.""Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics can improve by increasing the size of the files that we can load on the platform. We have some files that are too large to be loaded and it would be a benefit to us if the limit was increased. Additionally, the way we use the tool for generating reports can be made better. They should add some drag-and-drop rules without the need of programming these rules using some programming language. It would be helpful if we did not need someone that was technically advanced to be able to do it with, such as someone with no IT background. Having a reporting tool without code would be great.""Documentation could be improved.""I would like my team to be able to build pipelines that integrate with the Azure Data Factory.""While the solution is flexible, sometimes this works against the user.""The platform is not flexible, and the graphical user interface needs to be improved because the interface makes it hard for the end user to use it."
