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."The most valuable features are stability, its backup and recovery, and its performance."
"Oracle Database is highly scalable."
"RDBMS with good performance and technical support. It's a scalable, stable, secure, and easy to implement solution that can be deployed both on cloud and on-premises."
"Oracle Database is the best based on stability and high performance."
"The solution is very easy to use in general."
"The solution is very stable."
"Oracle Database is a stable solution."
"On-prem, Oracle is the number one database technology."
"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."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"They should reduce its price and provide faster support."
"The primary concern is that Oracle is highly restricted in terms of the approved technologies where we can freely deploy Oracle Database or any other Oracle product."
"The price could be better. Oracle Database could also be easier to scale."
"They could improve the scalability a bit. There are other options that are more scalable, for example."
"Cloud installations using Oracle are not supported by SAP."
"An area for improvement would be query performance - in some cases, it's really, really hard to make it run faster."
"They could improve the storage and network overhead."
"I can only remember that setting up Oracle Database was a pain because it uses Java."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"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."
