Exasol

Exasol is well suited for data warehousing, BI, ML, AI - all analytical queries. It has almost no operation cost, because it is selfmaintening the indexes etc.

It is really fast and stable too.

• We have found Exasol to be very fast at summarizing large data sets. It has been a great backend for both reporting tools and data analytics/business intelligence. Combined with the fact that data import is also very fast it makes it ideal for a real-time ELT architecture.
• Exasol is low maintenance. No indexes to maintain (The database auto-manages them) and very little tuning is required.
• Query processing is optimized for high throughput and high parallelization. This means that even under high loads performance degrades gracefully as opposed to having "pile-ups" and "meltdowns". This has made it a very reliable database for us.

• Better backup possibilities
• Better management tool like the exaplus

Lots of performance benfits which has had a huge impact on the analytics team and the businesses ability to deliver real value from data.

I have had only positive experiences with their support. They are fast, knowledgeable, and courteous. Online support requests get picked up within hours. I've only once had to use their hotline and that was for an emergency. There was even one minor non-security bug report that I reported and which they fixed in the following week's minor release. I was quite impressed.

We looked at some others too, but was 5 yrs ago so I don't recall the list. Exasol had the best performance per cost, outstanding performance, and was easy to evaluate. Even their community addition running on my laptop was faster than our existing reporting solution.

• Reduced support needs
• Monetisation
• Huge performance benfits
