We performed a comparison between SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 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."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."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"Provides very good integration."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"The actual interface is good."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is its performance and integration."
"The solution is easy to scale."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"The solution is stable."
"We can save data very easily."
"All features are valuable."
"The feature I found most valuable in SAP HANA is modeling. I also like that the solution has good integration and you can integrate it with any system, even third-party systems."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"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."
"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."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"The installation process could be more straightforward."
"The pricing could be better."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"The pricing is expensive."
"The initial setup of SAP HANA is complex. We did the implementation of one site, and a global deployment will take another three to four years."
"There could be better management for faster updates, last year there were some changes in India to the e-invoicing feature."
"The solution is very expensive, however. The pricing depends on the number of users and many other factors that affect licensing."
