We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 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 product offers high scalability."
"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."
"We can integrate it with any data sources as well."
"We use the tool for real-time data transfer for risk management purposes. In a trading system, conversions happen fast. We use the product to handle fast transactions with low latency."
"The solution's ROI is excellent."
"The scalability of the solution is very good. It's able to support large amounts of data."
"Security is the most valuable feature."
"The application development is very user-friendly."
"It's pretty good at handling a large number of transactions, which is critical for a banking client."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"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."
"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."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"The actual interface is good."
"Provides very good integration."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"The query optimization and backup features should be added."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."
"We often have to find solutions on our own through the support site, so there's room for improvement in this regard."
"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."
"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."
"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 solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
