kdb is well suited for real time tick data and time series analytics.Incentivized
Microsoft SQL Server is a great RDBMS and meets all of our requirements. If you need a stable DB platform to support your line of a business application you'll be well served. Licensing costs are far cheaper, more portable and a lot more user friendly than Oracle. Product support and security patches from Microsoft are strong.Incentivized
Time series analysis. The built-in vector operations are extremely fast. Also with the q language you can code up any customized analytical ideas quickly.The database are all file based, very easy to maintain.Very solid and fast interface to websocket, so you can interface with javascript easily.Incentivized
Easy to configure and use with Visual Studio and Dot NetEasy integration with MSBI to perform data analysisData SecurityEasy to understand and useVery easy to export database and tables in the form of SQL query or a scriptIncentivized
Run time error message readability, particularly for new users.Backwards compatibility between versions.Incentivized
The import/export process can be tricky to follow with lots of steps and could be better for importing flat filesObtaining help from Microsoft is cumbersome and often other internet sources are better and quickerThe documentation is not great and again it's generally better to obtain help elsewhere if neededIncentivized

We understand that the Microsoft SQL Server will continue to advance, offering the same robust and reliable platform while adding new features that enable us, as a software center, to create a superior product. That provides excellent performance while reducing the hardware requirements and the total cost of ownership of our solution.Incentivized
its okIncentivized
SQL Server mostly 'just works' or generates error messages to help you sort out the trouble. You can usually count on the product to get the job done and keep an eye on your potential mistakes. Interaction with other Microsoft products makes operating as a Windows user pretty straight forward. Digging through the multitude of dialogs and wizards can be a pain, but the answer is usually there somewhere.Incentivized

We managed to handle most of our problems by looking into Microsoft's official documentation that has everything explained and almost every function has an example that illustrates in detail how a particular functionality works. Just like PowerShell has the ability to show you an example of how some cmdlet works, that is the case also here, and in my opinion, it is a very good practice and I like it.Incentivized
It was goodIncentivized
very hands on and detailed trainingIncentivized
Other than SQL taking quite a bit of time to actually install there are no problems with installation. Even on hardware that has good performance SQL can still take close to an hour to install a typical server with management and reporting services.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
[Microsoft] SQL Server has a much better community and professional support and is overall just a more reliable system with Microsoft behind it. I've used MySQL in the past and SQL Server has just become more comfortable for me and is my go to RDBMS.Incentivized
SQL server does handle growing demands of a mid sized company.Incentivized
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.Incentivized
Increased accuracy - We went from multiple users having different versions of an Excel spreadsheet to a single source of truth for our reporting.Increased Efficiency - We can now generate reports at any time from a single source rather than multiple users spending their time collating data and generating reports.Improved Security - Enterprise level security on a dedicated server rather than financial files on multiple laptop hard drives.Incentivized
