We performed a comparison between Oracle Database 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."Its performance is good. It is also stable and scalable."
"It is flexible, scalable, and a true Enterprise RDBMS."
"I found the ease of backup, partitioning, and robust indexing most valuable. The main feature of Oracle is the structure of the database. The way your backups are taken on the online backup system and the way it restores and handles partitioning of your data are also valuable. Its performance is great, and it is also very flexible."
"Oracle Database is fast and easy to use."
"Compared to other databases, Oracle Database is very simple to manage in terms of the database itself."
"The tool supports a large volume of transactions compared to other databases we've used. One feature that had a significant impact is Oracle Data Integrator. It allows us to transfer data from the enterprise database to the data warehouse. This is useful for creating different data sets for finance teams and other departments."
"Oracle Database has many useful functions and features suitable for big programs and complex business models."
"The interface of Oracle Database is very workable and easy to use."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"The monitoring system is not very user friendly and could include a graphic interface."
"I can only remember that setting up Oracle Database was a pain because it uses Java."
"It's not very user-friendly, and it's a little complex. Another issue that I don't like is the licensing complexity."
"The product is expensive."
"Oracle is very expensive. So if I suggest Oracle to a client, they'll often say it's too costly."
"Digital support of the product could be improved."
"Lacks features that would improve database performance."
"The solution’s integration could be improved."
"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 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."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
