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 that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB."
"I haven't faced any technical issues with the product, and it works fine."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the power it provides. It is a powerful solution."
"The most valuable features of the solution stem from the fact that it is an open-source product and offers its users great online community support."
"It's a very easy product to set up."
"It's open source."
"The stability of MariaDB is good, it has high availability."
"This solution is user-friendly."
"Its in-memory capabilities are good, which is why many companies still use it."
"We've had good experiences with technical support."
"The UX experience is very good."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement."
"SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"SAP HANA is one of the best databases known for its performance...The new version of the solution is stable."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"The solution can improve by having support for more integration. However, at this time it is working well for us."
"It does not have tools for debugging procedures and functions."
"The license should be cheaper and closer to that offered by MySQL, Oracle and other products."
"The PL/SQL performance is slow if you have big batch jobs running overnight."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"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."
"Uses a large amount of RAM and is costly."
"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 initial setup of SAP HANA is complex. We did the implementation of one site, and a global deployment will take another three to four years."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"They can improve their technology for the CRM subsystem. There are other products that are better and more effective for the CRM subsystem. Its price could be better. It is expensive."
"You cannot apply mulit-join inside the calculation views, for example, when you are joining tables."
"I would have rated the solution higher if this version was not missing some key features the newer version has."
"The SAP ERP processes are quite complex and it can be challenging."
