We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""They provide easy integration with other systems.""Provides very good integration."

Cons
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it.""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.""User interface could be more user friendly.""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.""Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products.""There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."

"The interface is not easy in comparison to the SQL Server. It could be more user-friendly.""It is not as secure as it could be.""We have had some stability issues with SAP SQL Anywhere, but I am not sure if it is an application or network issue. We sometimes have a large amount of data being queried and it cannot handle it.""A problem we are experiencing now is when doing a backup in SQL 2012 and 14.""SAP SQL Anywhere needs to incorporate functionalities like SAP S/4HANA."
