We performed a comparison between Apache Hadoop and SAP IQ based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Warehouse solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most valuable feature is the database."
"Data ingestion: It has rapid speed, if Apache Accumulo is used."
"One valuable feature is that we can download data."
"The performance is pretty good."
"The best thing about this solution is that it is very powerful and very cheap."
"High throughput and low latency. We start with data mashing on Hive and finally use this for KPI visualization."
"What comes with the standard setup is what we mostly use, but Ambari is the most important."
"It's open-source, so it's very cost-effective."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"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."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"The initial setup is easy."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"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."
"The stability of the solution needs improvement."
"I would like to see more direct integration of visualization applications."
"The integration with Apache Hadoop with lots of different techniques within your business can be a challenge."
"It would be helpful to have more information on how to best apply this solution to smaller organizations, with less data, and grow the data lake."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"Since it is an open-source product, there won't be much support."
"The upgrade path should be improved because it is not as easy as it should be."
"What could be improved in Apache Hadoop is its user-friendliness. It's not that user-friendly, but maybe it's because I'm new to it. Sometimes it feels so tough to use, but it could be because of two aspects: one is my incompetency, for example, I don't know about all the features of Apache Hadoop, or maybe it's because of the limitations of the platform. For example, my team is maintaining the business glossary in Apache Atlas, but if you want to change any settings at the GUI level, an advanced level of coding or programming needs to be done in the back end, so it's not user-friendly."
"The tool gets stuck sometimes."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"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."
"There is very little documentation available."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
Apache Hadoop is ranked 5th in Data Warehouse with 33 reviews while SAP IQ is ranked 17th in Data Warehouse with 19 reviews. Apache Hadoop is rated 7.8, while SAP IQ is rated 7.8. The top reviewer of Apache Hadoop writes "Handles huge data volumes and create your own workflows and tables but you need to have deeper knowledge". On the other hand, the top reviewer of SAP IQ writes "Easy to use, highly stable, but integration could improve". Apache Hadoop is most compared with Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Azure Synapse Analytics, Oracle Exadata, Snowflake and SAP BW4HANA, whereas SAP IQ is most compared with Snowflake, SAP HANA, SQL Server, SAP BW4HANA and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise.
