Exasol vs. People First

Exasol is suited to applications requiring fewer & larger queries (reporting/data analytics/business intelligence tools). Its per-query overhead makes it unsuitable as an operational database (those are optimized for many & smaller queries.)

• Performance in ELT/ETL transformations
• Analytical queries for ad-hoc reporting
• Python and java code directly in the database near the data!

• SaaS offering in Azure
• Upgradability
• Management interface

Easy to use foundation, fast and reliable

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.

Exasol have the best performance by far in analytical queries (DW/BI). Compared to the other database we use much less time on maintenance, actually almost 0 time on indexes distributing data on nodes etc. The system just works out-of-box as long as you have memory enough

• Reduced support needs
• Monetisation
• Huge performance benfits
