We performed a comparison between Oracle Database and SAP IQ 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 feature that I worked with and that excited me the most is one that is not available in other databases, and it involves the use of Java Runtime."
"One of the most valuable features of Oracle Database is the performance."
"I love the performance tuning feature of Oracle Database because it provides hints and indexing, which are very valuable. Some of its other valuable features are its rack, record key vaults, and backup compression."
"What is most valuable with the Oracle Database is the performance."
"It is a stable product. In terms of recovery, if there is a failure or some kind of fault, we can recover the data. We do not lose it."
"It is very fast. The response times are very fast."
"Overall, from a technical perspective, the solution is very strong."
"You can scale the solution if you need to. Its scalability is good."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"It is expensive."
"The product must provide an autonomous database."
"The licensing cost could be better."
"The licensing formulation is too complicated."
"CRM could be improved."
"The pricing is the one sticking point for the solution because it is very expensive."
"The price of the solution should be lower."
"It could be slightly more intuitive, but other than that, we really like it as a solution."
"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
