Likelihood to Recommend	Silk K2 works well in our mixed-use virtual environment. I would not hesitate to place any workload on K2, it has always performed well. We use fiber-channel connectivity as it replaced our large legacy storage array, replacing one rack of spinning disks with 4U of flash. Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products Workbench Enterprise is consistent across devices and users so far. It works the same, and access is easy. I have a problem with its security. If you use an enterprise password to access databases, it's very easy to click the show password on the connection page and expose the enterprise password. You shouldn't allow users to use the same accounts to access the database because that means all users are sharing the same password. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Silk Great performance Great support Super-simple to use Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products Querying is easy and quick. Updating tables is very easy. It gives us very accurate error messages. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Silk Not well known, so third-party support is lacking Data reduction is good, but not as good as expected (actual 2.7:1) Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products It has autocompleted, but I find it difficult to use or get to use. It doesn't automatically complete table names or field names. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Support Rating	Silk No answers on this topic	Discontinued Products Our team does the support for us. Sometimes we see download related issues that can easily be fixed by our team. Most issues you will see with one user in your org will probably happen to others, so keep a log and track those issues. Then have a fix for them somewhere that everyone has access to. This will save you a lot of time troubleshooting. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Silk We performed a bake-off with K2 and one other vendor and they performed identically. K2 pricing was aggressive, performance was great, and it offered the features that we needed at a price that we could afford Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Silk Installing K2 reduced runtime of one of our batch processes, freeing up one employee for other tasks. Less time managing storage. Incentivized EE Eric Ellerman Infrastructure Architect Read full review	Discontinued Products I personally like Workbench Enterprise, and I can do everything I need to do using it.
