HAWQ

HAWQ is an Apache Hadoop Native SQL and MPP Database application for enterprise manageability, and flexible data-store format support. In practice that means turning data into dashboards and reports people actually read.

Who is it for? Mostly analysts and leadership teams. Related areas on their profile: Analytics. As a large product team themselves (1,001 to 5,000 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. Bigger vendor, more process. Budget time for procurement.

HAWQ is based in Forest Hill, Maryland and around since 1999. Their site is hawq.incubator.apache.org.

Things worth asking about: data connectors, modeling layer, and viewer pricing. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.
