London, UK, 14 April 2021 - Exasol, the leading high performance analytics database company, today announced that Forrester Research has identified the company as a strong performer in The Forrester Wave(TM): Cloud Data Warehouses Q1 2021 report. The report provides an assessment of the 13 most significant vendors in this vibrant market.

"We are very pleased that Forrester has recognized Exasol as a strong performer in the cloud data warehouse market. Forrester's evaluation in the current offering category underlines Exasol's performance credentials as we received the highest score possible in the criteria related to performance reference. Uncompromising performance is of the utmost importance to our customers, and we are proud to be a leader in this report," said Raj Rathee, Head of Product Management at Exasol "This complements evidence from BARC's 2020 Data Management Survey where 100% of surveyed users chose the Exasol Database because of its convincing performance."

Forrester defines a cloud data warehouse as "An on-demand, secure, and scalable self-service platform that automates provisioning, administration, tuning, backup, and recovery to accelerate analytics and actionable insights while minimizing support requirements." The firm evaluated 13 top vendors against 26 criteria within three high-level categories: current offering, strategy, and market presence. The report also notes Exasol offers "self-tuning capabilities that optimize performance and minimize maintenance requirements. It also offers the ability to consolidate AI, ML, and BI for both standard and advanced analytics, directly in the database using any data science language."

"Our customers love us for our self-tuning capabilities. Our technology essentially runs on its own, delivering exceptional performance without the need for an army of DB admins. On top of that Exasol's data science/ML capabilities provide unmatched flexibility for doing advanced in-database analytics," added Raj Rathee. "We are also very pleased to have received the highest score possible in the vertical use cases criterion having deployed all 10 types necessary within Forrester's evaluation. We believe that being able to support a wide range of use cases for the cloud data warehouse is critical."

The Forrester Wave report's goal is to identify how the cloud data warehouse providers measure up to one another through multi-faceted research, analyzing vendor's strengths and weakness and thus arming enterprise architecture professionals with the information they need to make smart choices.
