    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.

    • It perfectly solves most of our real time tick data needs.
    • Finding good kdb resources is slightly difficult. Also new people trying to learn kdb experience a relatively longer learning curve.
