We performed a comparison between SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 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."They provide easy integration with other systems."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"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."
"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."
"Provides very good integration."
"The actual interface is good."
"It's pretty good at handling a large number of transactions, which is critical for a banking client."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the interaction it provides with external suppliers and clients."
"The solution is very stable."
"The in-memory computing and the efficient response time are very good features."
"The main feature is that the processes are very flexible, they are able to be adapted to the business and their departments."
"SAP HANA's most valuable features are monitoring, reporting, and price and stock control."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"The UX experience is very good."
"The solution operates well."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"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."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"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."
"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 solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"SAP should refine its debugging method, and the process needs to be a little faster. It should use more Pragmas and fewer pseudocomments. I would like if SAP added more features based on advanced technologies, like artificial intelligence and voice control. The modularization and if-else techniques could also incorporate the latest technology to code and solve complex problems. The SAP Editor should be more elaborative, and it should allow many more types of statements for all uses."
"The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve."
"The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high."
"I'd just like to see some more improvements done on the training, both on the functional training and technical training sides as a part of the complete solution."
"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"While new users to this solution have the benefit of the new design, existing ERP users may experience issues with migrating legacy data. We would like to see development of ready-made tools that allow for easy mapping when upgrading."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
