Exasol vs. TeamDesk

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.)

Teamdesk is perfect for any operational tracking requirements for companies small or large, and any situation where you need to integrate with other systems since it can be set up to do that flexibly via its API and Webhooks. For example, you could track contacts, time and expense, projects and tasks, schedules, web leads, check-ins, order entry, quotes and invoices, support ticketing, and use the more advanced features to integrate with other systems to pull in currency exchange rates, various lists of data from other databases, send faxes, send bulk emails and so on. It does not do offline storage, so it would not be appropriate for a situation that offline work.

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

• Provide a very good, customizable user management system.
• Gives a lot of flexibility to customize database to your needs without requiring coding skills. Even allows to customize interface if you can code in html.
• Provides unlimited space and records.
• Gives an opportunity to have a database on EU servers to comply with GDPR
• Offers very good pricing options comparing to competitors (Salesforce, Quickbase, etc.) and offers unlimited space.
• Gives an opportunity to share your ideas how to improve the platform, many of which are being implemented
• Customers service if very helpful and friendly. All my questions were answered within a couple hours.

• SaaS offering in Azure
• Upgradability
• Management interface

• The only down side that I see, is that you have to be willing to spend some time creating your database. You start with a blank canvas and all the tools you need to design a custom database. But, you have to take the time to do it. If you take that time, it is well worth it.

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.

They are simply amazing. Very fast, like I have a personal support person standing by for me and always solves my problem in one go.

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

Quickbase is a good product which I have been using for 5 years (powerful, nice interface) but - not so powerful as TeamDesk - started to move toward large companies (>50 people) - more expensive than TeamDesk Zoho was not as flexible as TeamDesk Caspio was not as powerful as TeamDesk

• Reduced support needs
• Monetisation
• Huge performance benfits

• The per user cost is significantly lower than any prior option we have tried. The time spent getting things set up was time well spent for the overall long-term savings.
