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.

Return on Investment
Kx
  • 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.
