We performed a comparison between MySQL 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 is flexible and easy to use."
"MySQL has cross-platform support for multiple operating systems. The backups on a Linux machine can be restored on a Windows machine, and vice versa."
"It has a remote access feature to manage the database from a remote location. This enables in-work collaboration."
"It is pretty simple to use and I don't have anything really bad to say about it."
"MySQL is easy to use, has fast performance, and it is comfortable for end-user to use. The schema level and structure we are using are very simple and easy to understand. Additionally, packaging tool development is straightforward and the data is presented in a way that is very simple to understand."
"The solution has been very easy to scale so far."
"A good traditional database that supports JSON."
"It was easy to install."
"The actual interface is good."
"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."
"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."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"Provides very good integration."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"The backup methods need improvement."
"Its scalability can be better. It is probably not as scalable as Oracle. I had some issues with connectors. I used it from a C++ program, and it required some work to make it run, but finally, it worked."
"Improvements are required in character set support, scalability, and big data sets."
"The solution could improve the monitoring. At the present time, you need to use third-party monitoring solutions."
"MySQL needs improvements on its diagnostic features."
"I would like to have the ability to cancel a query in SQL Developer."
"The GUI interface probably can be improved. Let us say I want to see the relationships in the database. In the query analyzer, I would like to go and drop the tables and create relationships between the tables. I haven't found a feature like that in MySQL. It was a shortcoming even in SQL Server. MySQL can have more performance monitoring tools. I know Google has these tools, but within MySQL, there are not that many tools to monitor things like performance and database locking. They might be in there, and I might not be familiar enough to know where they are. I am a pretty new user of MySQL."
"I would like to have features that allow us to jump between the cloud and our on-premises system."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"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."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"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."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
