Likelihood to Recommend	SAP 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.

Pros	SAP 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 Zhann Goloborodko Senior Programmer/Analyst Read full review
Cons	SAP The pricing schedule is a bit expensive and cumbersome. Licensing for a virtual machine is difficult to understand. Incentivized Eirik Toft Systems Administration Spec IV Read full review
Support Rating	SAP 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 Zhann Goloborodko Senior Programmer/Analyst Read full review
Alternatives Considered	SAP 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.

Return on Investment	SAP 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 Eirik Toft Systems Administration Spec IV Read full review
