MonetDB suits users building analytical or data-warehouse systems who want a self-hosted SQL database. It is less suited to workloads requiring high-volume transaction processing.
It suits developers and organisations building relational SQL or NoSQL applications, including web, e-commerce, SaaS, and transaction-processing systems. Teams needing commercial security features or support can consider the paid editions.
