Excellent TSD for real time analytics and machine learning flows.
What do you like best about the product?
Extremely fast and reliable vector database!!
What do you dislike about the product?
It is still getting cloud ready with AWS, GCP and Azure. Most of use cases are in cloud now a days.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Critical problems in Telecom and Automotive domains
The only real-time DB solution
What do you like best about the product?
Kdb+ is an excellent database management system that provides high performance and scalability. Essential for our real-time processing requirements and data management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fairly niche technolgy, therfore a smaller q developer resource pool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Back testing, analysis and reporting.
User, partner and enthusiast
What do you like best about the product?
Completeness of the solution. Streaming analytics, data and analytics in memory and analysis of historical data on disk in a single solution is unique. KX can do everything another time series database can do but faster and more efficienctly - it also has unique temporal analytics capabilities others have never been able to replicate.
What do you dislike about the product?
The amount of times the user community has solved the same problems in marginally different ways. A managed cloud service on aws, open sourcing pykx and standardising kdb architect through kdb Insights are great steps forward to address this and allow builders to focus on outcomes rather than plumbing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Analysis of fast moving data with the benefit of historical context allowing faster decision making and greater insight for business processes.
Trading Analysis and Prototyping
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use.
Analysis is simple, fast and easy to share.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some simple features not available especially related to IPC
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Post and pre trade analysis
Elegant, reliable and super fast
What do you like best about the product?
KX makes light work of intricate time series transformations on vast amounts of data.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is an area currently at the forefront of focus for KX, with the recent release of PyKx.
But making an easy interface to the rich ocean of data vizualization / ML libraries etc in Python is something I've been excited about for a while.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I work with the biggest dataset on the street, namely the US Equity Options market data feeds, both via OPRA and direct exchange feeds.
There is no other way that my team could perform our data ingestion, derived analytics and overnight calibration in sufficient time if we did not have KX.

Kx in the cloud is unstoppable
What do you like best about the product?
Kx is the most performant analytical platform for timeseries and vector analytics. The AWS native integrations take Kx to the next level, and is already transforming how financial services organizations identify alpha in real-time, thanks to unlimited calculation performance in the cloud. The new AWS FinSpace managed Kdb will be a game changer as it takes the hassle out of running kdb and lets banks go straight to utilizing its power.
What do you dislike about the product?
None, now that it is managed in the cloud.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Equity and FX alpha
Have been a business sponsor of KX for over 20 years using to support many businesses
What do you like best about the product?
Fundamentally KX core value was always about speed and efficiency. In the early days they didnt have many user tooling so you needed to find experts that were few and far between but at the end of the day the performance was differentiating and still is. Their focus on speed and minimising space for data is still their edge. They have evolved their tooling to make adoption easier but their underlying power is still their strength.
What do you dislike about the product?
It really depends on your perspective. It takes more effort than simpler languages to get things up and running. but if your target is scalable and you want a strong foundation like anything you have to put the effort in. From my perspective there are no dislikes other than the community is still perhaps too small
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
processing massive amounts of real-time data, processing and deriving real time insights.
Journey with KX
What do you like best about the product?
What I like the most is performance and productivity
What do you dislike about the product?
I feel that products on top microservices might be easier to use.
All libraries can be more customizable if they can be viewed as white boxes vs black boxes

Analyzing vast volumes of data in real-time as well as historically
Wall Street's secret is out
What do you like best about the product?
KX is a beautiful solution for running analytics on large data sets, particularly when time series is involved. Its structure leads to elegant code and small systems that are easy to maintain and cheap to run while delivering performance orders of magnitude better than the competition.
After 20+ years of dominating electronic trading analytics on Wall Street, its latest version with Python integration and cloud interoperability leaves it ideally placed to capitalise on growing data analytics needs in other areas, notably Artificial Intelligence.

What do you dislike about the product?
People often say it's difficult to learn, but the reality is that the analytics it supports would be far more difficult to achieve using other "easy" languages and data stores.

My preferred database for timeseries data management, querying and high speed manipulations
What do you like best about the product?
- Incredibly performant data querying allows rapid turnaround times
- Very powerful inbuilt join capabilities - asof and window joins in particular
- Both realtime and historical capabilities

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be difficult to find what you need in the documentation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use KX software for our timeseries data and their rich query langaguge powers most of our in-house built data quality, data cleansing and data enrichment layers. It is the only software that I have full confidence in for handling our data volumes and also executing our loading and enrichment workloads at high speed and scale.
