Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."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."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"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."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"The actual interface is good."
"Provides very good integration."
"Vertica has a few features that I like. From an architecture standpoint, they have separated compute and storage. So you have low-cost object storage for primary storage and the ability to have several sub-clusters working off the same ObjectStore. So it provides workload isolation."
"Initiate on one node, and the RPM propagates automatically to all other nodes. "
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"The product's initial setup phase is extremely simple."
"The hardware usage and speed has been the most valuable feature of this solution. It is very fast and has saved us a lot of money."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"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."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"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."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"Fact-to-fact joins on multi-billion record tables perform poorly."
"There are a lot of limitations within this product and it makes things extremely hard for developers. It lacks Stored Procedure, packages, and triggers like other RDBMs."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"We faced some challenges when trying to use the temporary tables feature."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"I have found that coding support could be simplified."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
