"CockroachDB is highly reliable."
"The best feature of CockroachDB is the ability to keep the nodes in different locations."
"The subset of SQL that my client is using is completely supported."

"The best feature of SAP HANA is column computing. The computing speed of the solution is also very high, so developers can easily develop programs through SAP HANA."
"SAP HANA's best features are its programmability and extensibility - you can size and shape the software however you need."
"The solution is stable."
"The functionality is of the solution is very good."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"The most value for us was in terms of using it to issue tenders online. We host our server, but it is open to the public, so clients who want to buy those tenders were able to go online, put their tender documents up, and we could evaluate them using SAP."
"As I only worked part-time on SAP HANA, I did not have the opportunity to explore the advanced features of the solution. However, I did work with basic features, such as user administration and access controls for the accounting department. The feature that stood out to me the most was the Single Sign-On and user administration, backup, and server management. My experience with SAP HANA was mainly focused on basic server improvements."
"Cockroach does not support all types of protocols. I need to improve it myself to support a CouchDB on my network."
"I find the serverless offer a bit confusing."
"We are looking for more features to support distributed high availability and geo-partitioning."
"The initial setup and pricing could be improved."
"The product must improve its disaster recovery features."
"The closer they can make CockroachDB to being completely compatible with Postgres, the better. It's almost compatible, but not completely. If it was, it would be nice to just be able to use Postgres libraries without any fiddling."
"The platform could be more extensible."
"CockroachDB needs to improve store processes."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"The documentation can be improved in the future."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"Needs graphical programming without coding."
"More standards would help in the future."
"Per SAP, you can do both transactional and analytical processes in SAP HANA. Though that's true, the speed is slower when you combine the two functions, so this is what I'd like SAP to improve in SAP HANA. In the next release, I want to see better diagrams in SAP HANA and a more user-friendly interface."
