What do you dislike about SAP IQ?

When we tried to connect it through other softwares then it is bit tricky because it is not easily available as SQL drivers and SQL workbench, In starting few days you also need some kind of trainings then it is easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP IQ solving and how is that benefiting you?

1) Inserting thousands of rows of data takes time equal to blink of an eye.

2) Aggregating billions of rows of data is insanely fast, efficient and easy to use in comparison of ther RDBMS like oracle etc.

3) this also facilitates you to do extreme data compression with your data.

4) It is commony known as sybase , syntax of sybase and SQL is mostly similar with some differences.

5) Sometimes faced issue with support, but easy to resolve through SAP IQ support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
