We performed a comparison between Apache Hadoop and SAP IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution is easy to expand. We haven't seen any issues with it in that sense. We've added 10 servers, and we've added two nodes. We've been expanding since we started using it since we started out so small. Companies that need to scale shouldn't have a problem doing so."
"The tool's stability is good."
"The most valuable feature is the database."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very powerful and very cheap."
"Data ingestion: It has rapid speed, if Apache Accumulo is used."
"I liked that Apache Hadoop was powerful, had a lot of tools, and the fact that it was free and community-developed."
"Hadoop is designed to be scalable, so I don't think that it has limitations in regards to scalability."
"The most valuable feature is scalability and the possibility to work with major information and open source capability."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"The initial setup is easy."
"The product is easy to learn."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"The load optimization capabilities of the product are an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is a lack of virtualization and presentation layers, so you can't take it and implement it like a radio solution."
"The solution is not easy to use. The solution should be easy to use and suitable for almost any case connected with the use of big data or working with large amounts of data."
"I think more of the solution needs to be focused around the panel processing and retrieval of data."
"In certain cases, the configurations for dealing with data skewness do not make any sense."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"The tool gets stuck sometimes."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"There is very little documentation available."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
