With a proven methodology, this independent survey offers an in-depth comparison of some of the main providers on the market, giving consumers the information they need to invest in the perfect data management toolset.

This year, 960 people were surveyed on their opinions across 21 data management products from 16 different vendors including Exasol and other notable industry players such as Snowflake and Google BigQuery.
