If you are loading massive datasets or aggregating huge relational datasets, SAP IQ is incredible. Loading 10 million rows in seconds is incredibly impressive.

SAP IQ support is top-notch. I prefer starting all my SAP IQ support tickets with their Instant Messenger, where the majority of our issues are resolved. If it makes it to their ticketing system, they are very prompt at responding and very knowledgeable in the platform.

  • As they have been modifying their licensing structure, it's been difficult to keep up and understand how they work.
