Python is very commonly used for large data analysis and in general is much easier to pickup than kdb+. The biggest drawback of kdb+ is the learning curve.

When you are dealing with large scale time series data, [there are] no better alternatives. I've seen some firms use other so called "big data" alternatives, and claim they can store the data just as efficiently. However, once you want to generate sophisticated analytics from the data, nothing beats kdb+

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • It is sometimes painful to accept the fact that KDB+ is not fully multithreaded.
  • The ability to write shorter code for a complex logic is really good. But it makes it really cryptic. Cryptic codes are very difficult to maintain and extend.
  • For some small institutions license cost is little high.
