We performed a comparison between Oracle Database In-Memory and SAP HANA 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."Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."
"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 application development is very user-friendly."
"I like Oracle because it is a backward-compatible solution."
"The most valuable feature is that Database-In-Memory is more consistent and faster than traditional databases as it requires fewer CPUs to process instructions."
"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 solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement."
"If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"The solution is very stable."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"The user interface is very good. You can do any kind of reporting analytics from the platform."
"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."
"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."
"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."
"The solution is quite expensive."
"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."
"Oracle Database In-Memory appliance-based solutions can be restrictive for some applications, as they may require more flexibility in the database design to be tuned and sized to the customer's needs."
"They should improve the solution's scalability for large databases."
"Lacks sufficient integration with other tools."
"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"It is challenging to integrate it with third-party tools."
"There's an issue in the partition. When you record more than two million records, partitioning does not work well. In Oracle it's easy. SAP must resolve this issue in order to be more competitive with Oracle."
"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."
"While new users to this solution have the benefit of the new design, existing ERP users may experience issues with migrating legacy data. We would like to see development of ready-made tools that allow for easy mapping when upgrading."
"The inclusion of a well-performing Time Machine is vital."
"The solution could improve by having better migration flexibility. For example, it would be helpful if there was a way for customers could check their nonproduction and production deployments."
"The surface side or Attack dashboard needs improvement because there are some gaps after sales services."
