Fastest Database | Onpremise/SaaS/Hybrid deployment options
What do you like best about the product?
- Unparalleled query performance: in-memory, massive-parallel processing cluster DB
- Suited for highly analytical workloads
- Comes with the ability to run custom build Python,Lua,R workloads *in database*
- New feature: "Lakehouse Turbo Charge" allows for highly performant queries against Apache Iceberg tables (an open table format) - data is no longer silo'ed in vendor specific systems
- Fast and competent customer support

What do you dislike about the product?
- Requires more setup steps and configuration effort than cloud-only SaaS databases
- Version upgrades have to be performed by DBAs
- less out of the box SQL functions (in particular semi-structured data) than competitors

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exasol allows me to run a best-of-breed in my Data Lakehouse architecture and avoid vendor lock-in, by accessing/caching Apache Iceberg tables in my data lake.
It is more cost effective that common competitor clould databases/platforms.
Exasol solves the problem of slow, inefficient data analytics by providing an ultra-fast in-memory database designed for big data workloads eliminating bottlenecks in real-time analytics: Use it for Accelerating certain BI workloads. Even in existing DWH landscapes, you can offload (copy) performance-critical Tables/Data Marts into Exasol, giving you an immediate performance boost without refactoring
The benefits are clear: businesses gain instant access to actionable insights, reducing decision-making cycles from hours to seconds. Scalability ensures performance remains consistent as data grows, while cost efficiency outperforms proprietary alternatives like Oracle. For industries reliant on data-driven strategies (e.g., finance, telecom), Exasol’s speed and flexibility translate directly into competitive advantages, better resource allocation, and faster innovation.

The fastest database in the world
What do you like best about the product?
Performance, performance and performance for sure. That's awasome when you can query billion of rows and get results in less than one second. Quite impressive.
What do you dislike about the product?
However, sometimes Exasol optimizer chooses a non-efective way to execute complex queries. But I guess all of the database could have the same issues. Luckily there is some possibilities and tricks to make optimizer creating the better plan and improve performance, e.g. preprocessor.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are really a lot of historized data (billion of rows, terabytes of data, even in dimensions) which should be processed very fast to provide management reporting and regulatory reporting on time. Exasol allows us to make it

Best choice for on-premise, getting better in the cloud
What do you like best about the product?
+ Amazing performance in general;
+ Cost-to-performance ratio is very competitive, you'll need much less hardware;
+ Efficient indexed JOINs, probably best in class;
+ Flexible UDF scripts, can be implemented in any programming language and run in parallel;

What do you dislike about the product?
- Lack of native support for composite data types;
- Lack of native partial backup (per-table, per-schema), must use EXPORT instead;
- Detection of data lineage is a bit difficult, unless you implement it yourself externally;
- Cloud capabilities are not fully utilised (yet), but it's not a problem for "on-premise";

A high-performance database for Analytics. Would definitely recommend it.
What do you like best about the product?
My first experience with Exasol was revealing: when migrating our data warehouse we saw many reports running in 1/10 of the time.
This extraordinary performance allowed to, over time, squeeze much more value from the database, while keeping low maintenance and development costs.
For my Analytics department, migrating to Exasol was the single most important step that we took to provide a better service to business, assure quick development cycles and incur in minimal admin effort.

What do you dislike about the product?
Scripting capabilities can be enhanced and better documented. It is not always easy to find resources capable to program with Lua scripting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are building a wide set of Analytics solutions, including customer profiles, data science models, stock optimization solutions and Dashboards. Each provide a relevant business impact within the organization.
