Customer testimonials
"Nous utilisons XSM depuis plusieurs années, et à l'heure actuelle nous ne connaissons pas de tri plus performant sur le marché et ce quel que soit le système utilisé. La mise en place de ce tri dans nos chaînes batch est un jeu d'enfant et nous n'avons pas encore décelé une limite de taille de fichier. Un grand bravo à l'équipe d'HHNS pour la qualité de cet outil ainsi que pour leur professionnalisme"
This says: "We have used XSM for several years and, to date, we know of no faster sort software on any of the operating systems we use. Integrating XSM into our batch workloads was straightforward, and we have not yet encountered a file-size limit. Congratulations to the HHNS team on the quality of this tool and their professionalism."
En 10 ans, Base Plus est passé du Small Data au Big Data, XSM est le seul logiciel qui nous accompagne depuis le début, de quelques millions d’enregistrements, nous trions aujourd’hui des fichiers de plus de 1 milliard de lignes, avec toujours des performances toujours époustouflantes.
This says: "Over ten years, Base Plus moved from Small Data to Big Data. XSM is the only software that has supported us from the beginning. We started with a few million records and now sort files containing more than one billion lines, still with outstanding performance."
Thank you for allowing me to evaluate your excellent product. In terms of performance it was clearly the best product available on the market. I bench-tested it against a number of other sort utilities and it performed at a minimum of 2.5x the speed of the other programs.

I am therefore in a position to recognise high quality, and your software is amazing.
Nous utilisons XSM sur nos stations SUN SOLARIS principalement pour trier des fichiers de forte volumétrie et de différents formats.
Grace à ses performances et à sa simplicité de mise en oeuvre, XSM est un outil idéal pour optimiser nos traitements de tri et dédoublonnage.
Dernièrement, nous avons remplacé une commande de tri UNIX classique par hxsm pour trier une colonne d'un fichier (format variable de type CSV) de 150 Mo :
* Tri conventionnel : 1 min 24 sec
* Tri HXSM : 12 sec
Soit 85 % en terme de gain de performance...Pour un fichier de structure similaire mais cette fois-ci avec une volumétrie plus conséquente de 6,1 Go (11,5 Millons de lignes de 117 champs) :
* Tri conventionnel : 1h 50 min
* Tri HXSM : 10 min 44 sec
Soit plus de 90 % de gain de performance par rapport au tri classique...
Bien Cordialement,
This says: "We use XSM on Sun Solaris, mainly to sort large files in various formats. Thanks to its performance and ease of use, XSM is an ideal tool for optimising our sorting and deduplication processes. The standard sort took 1 hour 50 minutes, while XSM took 10 minutes 44 seconds: a performance improvement of more than 90%."
Nous utilisons XSM sur Sun Solaris pour ses performances, et sa simplicité de paramétrage. Le passage à la nouvelle version 6.58 s'est fait très simplement, sans problème de compatibilité ascendante, et nous a apporté un gain de 50% sur certains traitements clefs de nos process. L'accompagnement par le support, particulièrement compétent et réactif, est également un point fort de l'éditeur: une solution globale qui répond parfaitement à notre contexte.
This says: "We use XSM for its performance and ease of configuration. Upgrading to version 6 was straightforward, with no backward-compatibility issues, and improved performance by 50% for some critical processes. The support team is particularly knowledgeable and responsive. It is a comprehensive solution that meets our needs."
Thank you for the evaluation of your product.
We tried XSM, and it worked very well.
I liked the similarity to DFSORT. That is the best part. I would not think about changing XSM.
It is perfect as it is. Its simplicity is what gives it an advantage.Thanks again,
Dear Stephane,
We downloaded and tested the multithreaded version, and I'm happy to report that we achieved a fantastic average performance improvement of about 90% over our installed version hxsm467_64.
We ran numerous tests on both versions using the same 400Mb binary file sorted by 3 keys under the same conditions (very little activity on the machine).
On average, version 4.67 takes about 2 minutes 22 seconds to sort, while the multithreaded version hxsm642_aix5_ppc_64 does it in 1 minute 17 seconds.
Hi there,
.../...
I'm only using XSM now; I have forgotten about my slooooow sort, hehe.
.../...
The overall rating of XSM is very good, about 9 on a scale of 10.
Very impressive tool. I will certainly recommend it to my friends.Best regards,
Hello,
.../...
By the way, we are extremely happy with XSM. The performance is terrific.
Many thanks for your time,
Dear Mr. Henault,
XSM works perfectly and we haven't found any bugs yet. We are absolutely satisfied with the performance and functionality of XSM. Since my last benchmark tests comparing Smartsort with XSM, I have no new benchmark results.Kind regards,

NORMAD1 SA, leader sur le marché des outils de normalisation d'adresses, après avoir évalué l'ensemble des utilitaires de tri concurrents, préconise maintenant XSM pour le tri/dedoublonnage des gros fichiers avec ses solutions sur plateformes PC, UNIX, et OS400:
![]()
A la demande de NORMAD1, HH&S a effectué le portage de XSM sur plateforme IBM AS400. Cette plateforme, qui représente un marché considérable, souffrait en effet du manque d'un utilitaire de tri performant. XSM V5.14 règle ce problème.

This says: NORMAD1 SA, a French leader in address normalisation for postal mailing, recommends XSM to its clients because of its performance on large files.
NORMAD1 also asked HH&S to port XSM to OS/400, which we did immediately.
An Oracle contributor answers a question on a database forum about external data sorting and merging (read our article about external sorting). The contributor cites XSM as an example of an existing software product.
