    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.

    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.

    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.
