MonetDB is great when you are performing adhoc queries on a large set of data. For example, if you store data in a typical RDBMS such as MySQL or Postgres and want to join large tables for analytics but the query runs unacceptably slow then MonetDB can act as a second database to offload complex queries. Based on my experience, it may not be a production-ready database since there aren't many DBAs familiar with it and due to lack of documentation, maintenance can become a little tricky.Incentivized
Does data compression very well, produces query results very quickly, ability to scale up as data volume/size grow in an organization, row level versioning is in memory and hence the speed. It is a very stable product for large enterprises. More detailed documentation on how to use this product in the initial stages would be really welcome.Incentivized
It is easy to use.You are able to input lots of data and it understands and populates information.Able to change settings on the fly to use with your needs.Incentivized
Inserting millions of rows of data takes seconds.Aggregating billions of rows of data is insanely fast (compared to Oracle, Sybase, and SQL Server).Incentivized
This is an open source software so there are obvious drawbacks, the biggest of which is a lack of documentation.MonetDB does not seem to be well known outside of the academic environment so there is less information when you are searching for answers of any type.I'd like to see more use cases and/or best practices so that commercial companies like ours can optimally use all of its highly performant features.The code is written in C/C++ and this can be negative if you are a mainly java-shop and need UDF - User Defined Function.Incentivized
The pricing schedule is a bit expensive and cumbersome.Licensing for a virtual machine is difficult to understand.Incentivized
SAP IQ support is top-notch. I prefer starting all my SAP IQ support tickets with their Instant Messenger, where the majority of our issues are resolved. If it makes it to their ticketing system, they are very prompt at responding and very knowledgeable in the platform.Incentivized
We have used Five9 in my previous company but on a much smaller scale. It was more expensive, however we were using it for a max of 50 employees, now we need a much bigger platform. We also used Five9 for other things, like phone dialers etc. so it was a little different.Incentivized
SAP IQ is perhaps an under-marketed product in the sense that it is able to scale up very well and perform much faster and more efficiently than other products such as Oracle - when we ran multiple large queries on both Sybase IQ and Oracle, we found that that results were much faster in Sybase IQ and this gave the confidence to go for this product.Incentivized
If you are familiar with a general database concept and played with open source products before then MonetDB will give you immediate return in terms of productivity since developers can quickly develop and verify their test cases involving back-end database with a large sample data set.There is a stiff learning curve due to lack of documentation and sparse information available on the internet.Overall experience has been positive since MonetDB gives you another option when it comes to building out a data warehouse.Incentivized
The ROI over a number of years has been good. Seeing as how we use it for billing, it has an obvious ROI to us.As they have been modifying their licensing structure, it's been difficult to keep up and understand how they work.Incentivized
