We performed a comparison between IBM Db2 Database 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."It's easy to search and extract data from the warehouse using queries."
"it is very stable and runs smoothly once it is deployed and it is almost maintenance-free."
"IBM DB2 pureScale Feature is valuable."
"It has a good, stable performance."
"The solution's security is very tough and impenetrable."
"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the integration with other IBM products."
"The most valuable features are the simplicity of the database and the access to Db2 and Db2 information."
"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."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"Provides very good integration."
"This is a wonderful database that is, in my opinion, underrated. Users are able to get the most out of my experience by taking advantage of its centralized environment."
"The actual interface is good."
"The licensing fees can be reduced."
"The product’s user interface is not easy to use."
"We need some time to improve the performance. We have to perform a weekly REORG, or else RUNSTATS for the databases."
"IBM Db2 Database could improve in the steps it takes for upgrades. It is not an easy process. The process of upgrading the version is lengthy and requires a lot of time. To make it more efficient, I suggest implementing some automation on the solution side. This will greatly reduce the time required for the upgrade."
"It would be helpful to have a hybrid data storage facility that includes NoSQL technologies."
"There are some issues with Db2's database file system not being readable. The storage could also be increased, and the monitoring could be improved."
"IBM's products tend to be quite costly, especially given the availability of free, open-source alternatives."
"The application development requires a Java developer and not every company has these resources."
"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."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"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."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
