We are very happy to work with a german based company that has a lot of skills to support all kind of requests from our customers.

Pros

Very flexible system for heterogenous systems (mixed databank). very good product strategy from Exasol including multiple possibilities in regards of integration. Great support from Exasol pre sales team for conducted PoC. European Product !!!!!! (very important these days)

Cons

Market penetration. We have always to prove the capabilities of Exasol compare to Oracle and other wellknown databank system.

Pros

Exasol is a high performance DWH Solution with the possibility to run it on prem. In highly regulated businesses such as finance and healthcare this is an important keypoint in terms of compliance and data safety. In addition to that why really enjoyed the amazing support that exasperated gave us during the poc and implementation steps.

Cons

In the past i worked a lot with procedures where i can directly transform large amount of data via sql. Exasol has UDF and Lua Skript but stored procedures are missing.

Great company and interesting solutions, i didnt know about the company before and their partners and was great to learn more in a relaxed atmosphere.

Pros

the organization was really great, food tasted good and intersting and relevant topics. Especially the first presetnation was extremely intersting and helpful.

Cons

I am dissapointed, because from the 48 speakers there were only two women. One of them was a moderator (not a speaker). IT is unnacceptable, especially because the conferene is two days after 8th of March and seeing such poor representation. Also from the point of viow of participants, it was mostly male dominated. Would be great to have more diversity in the participants too.

Pros

Blazing-fast responses by their support. For complex topics (like performance issues caused by our own workload) they always provide extensive and in-depth help to resolve these topics.

Cons

It’s difficult to find something negative to write about. Almost all of the issues are resolved quickly.

We are still experimenting with the Service and till now we had a really productive experience and faster customer service.

Pros

The performance and Speed is one of the finest in industry. The customer service was top , we were contacted personally by the solution engineers in Exasol . As a German Tech providing DWH , Exasol stands out as the best in the entire country!

Cons

Price for SAAS license is a little bit more than expected. The restore from our other exasol system was more complicated than expected .

Overall, it was a very insightful and positive experience learning about Exasol and its role in modern data analytics.

Pros

What impressed me most is the strong partnership with different cutting-edge industry and technology leaders across Europe.

Cons

It was my first exposure to Exasol, so some parts were quite dense technically, but overall it was still very interesting.

Super fast analytics database which helps us achieve the high performance high data throughput demands of our cusomers. And Exasol is totally customer centric and support us and try to fullfill our needs

Pros

The high Performance analytics engine wich helps us process Terra Bytes of data over night to get the data prepared in the morning in time for our customers.

Cons

We use on-prem and the high costs are our biggest pain-point. Due to regulations and the amount of data we process each day a pay-per-use cloud solution isn't really a choice.

This is a good In memory database, which has great Data extract and data load capabilities.

Pros

It can handle large amount of data very easily. Data Extract is very fast because this is a in memory database. LUA scripts is good option to implement the ETL in Exasol. Data can be visualized in any data visualization tool like PowerBI, Tableau etc. so it can integrate with wide variety of data visualization tool. The Exasol community provides excellent support with predefined SLA based on the complexity.

Cons

The performance of Exasol data is very fast so its very easy to extract/display large amount of data in Exasol. The LUA scripts are pretty must similar than Stored procedures of SQL server database so you are working on SQL server database so it is best time to migrate your database to Exasol with minimal efforts.

Switched from

[Microsoft SQL Server](https://www.capterra.com/p/1417/SQL-Server/)

Previously we were using SSIS to extract the data from multiple sources like csv and excel and loading the data in to SQL server database. SSIS packages took lot of time because the file size is very large. Then we move from SSIS to Exasol database and created LUA script to load our csb files which we receive from the client on the daily basis. Since this is a inmemory database so data loading and extraction is very fast and reliable that's why we switched to Exasol database.

Exceptional

Pros

It was fast out of the box with no tuning. No need for expensive tuning. Wide language support and massively scalable.

Cons

I have found nothing not to like. EXASOL is a gem that you would be foolish not to consider.

Reasons for choosing Exasol

Wide support of languages and very fast SQL engine. Efficient storage and highly scalable. Support for data streaming and huge number of users requesting bespoke analytics in parallel. Company with vision, strong engineering and great support.
