Review on XAP by Eric Avina

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great data tool especially ideal w/ High Scale environments

The xap product itself is easy enough for my team to use as we are not heavy SQL users. It's great because it runs in memory - which means faster responses than most traditional databases out there today! We're able to store large datasets without having to go through an ETL process every time we want to do any analysis or reporting etc.. Also, when using multiple machines and each machine needs access to different tables, queries become much simpler with xap since everything loads up into RAM at once and then you just filter away what doesn't apply! No problems here- very happy customer! You have to know how to work with MySQL but they have some really good online training resources available if needed. The only downside would be that sometimes connections drop out (for instance while doing DBA tasks). If this happens too often it could prevent people who aren't familiar with working directly with mysql from getting started easily. Our main goal was a database solution that had high availability and scal.
