We performed a comparison between SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise and SAP IQ 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."I like that SAP ASE can match code and the database index to index data in the programming language. There are many other valuable features, such as the table buffer, tuning, and various control agents like dispatcher. SAP ASE can handle many different data types, including views, domains, data elements, structures, objects, and various table types that are most useful in the application. Its modularization technique is also handy."
"This is a wonderful database that is, in my opinion, underrated. Users are able to get the most out of my experience by taking advantage of its centralized environment."
"The most valuable part of the tool stems from the fact that it is a very cost-efficient product compared to the newer technologies because it needs a very small amount of RAM."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"Provides very good integration."
"The actual interface is good."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"It's pretty good at handling a large number of transactions, which is critical for a banking client."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"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."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"The product is easy to learn."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"In my opinion, product support is not that great from SAP because they have already declared the end-of-date for SAP ASE. They will be stopping product support."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"I think that the solution needs to be positioned better within the market as it appears as though the Adaptive Server is being left out of the SAP scope."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"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."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"The tool gets stuck sometimes."
"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."
