We performed a comparison between MariaDB and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Relational Databases Tools solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"The product has been stable and reliable."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"It is a stable solution."
"We use MariaDB for identity provider services. Most of the things that we are doing are deployed in the container mode. All such solutions require a database, and MariaDB is easier to use for these kinds of deployments."
"The solution is very easy to implement."
"The performance is very good."
"Using this solution has given us better details for reporting and analytics."
"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."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"Its in-memory capabilities are good, which is why many companies still use it."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package. Additionally, it is user-friendly."
"I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis."
"It is difficult for me to narrow down what the best features are in SAP HANA because they work together to provide the overall functionality of the solution. However, the Fiori application is very good."
"The solution is stable."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"Replication could be better, and it's not so simple. It would be better if they had a replication server. It would make things a lot easier. You need to have that replication server, but not in the same server farm. Then there will be a bit of latency between both because you should have one in one city and another one in a different city. That kind of solution should be more baked into every single database today. Mirroring the database in a live environment where any record written on the production server replicates instantly across the fiber on the other server wasn't easy. Many people don't even bother with that, and they just run one server."
"It does not have tools for debugging procedures and functions."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"Master-master replication is something that needs to be simplified."
"With respect to clustering and the master-slave configuration, sometimes the slave goes out of synch."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"The releases need to be more stable. It's surprising to still encounter significant bugs after ten years of the product being available."
"The SAP HANA interface has room for improvement because it takes more work to manage than the Microsoft SQL Server interface."
"The initial setup was pretty complex, considering the enormous amount of data they had from an Oracle ERP."
"Ease of use could be improved in SAP HANA. I like SAP because SAP solutions can be used by anyone, which means even laymen can start working on SAP tools, but in SAP HANA modeling, you'll need to know some other technologies and sequel scripting, and you need a separate skillset, so if you don't have the skillset, you won't be able to work on SAP HANA. Making SAP HANA low-code would make it even better."
"The documentation can be improved in the future."
"The openness of the system could be more developed. The solution should go into the cloud. The cloud mechanism should be more invested."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
