We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Embedded Database solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable aspects of this solution are the fast caching and improved performance to the database"
"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."
"It accelerates query processing, which in turn speeds up operations and streamlines workflow, and ultimately enhancing productivity."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"The product offers high scalability."
"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."
"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."
"The solution is stable."
"It's sufficed all of our requirements. We primarily needed it to run SAP applications, like NetWeaver or S/4HANA, and it has been really good at that."
"SAP HANA's best features are its programmability and extensibility - you can size and shape the software however you need."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It usually takes around eight months but it depends on a customer's requirements. We can spend a month or two customizing."
"The speed at which it gets the data is great."
"We can save data very easily."
"What I like most are the dashboards and pervasive analytics."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"Oracle should include column store or advanced query optimization so a database can be optimized by enabling analytic queries to run faster."
"They should lower the price. My customers think that it's too expensive."
"Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs."
"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."
"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."
"Technical support is below our expectations currently. It could be improved."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"It would be nice to know when SAP plans to stop its maintenance of a previous version of SAP ECC ERP because, at this point, anyone utilizing SAP will have no choice but to go on S/4HANA Database."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"You cannot apply mulit-join inside the calculation views, for example, when you are joining tables."
"More standards would help in the future."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"The solution is very expensive for us."
"The pricing could be better."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
