Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Oracle, Firebird and others in Embedded Database."SAP HANA's interface is pretty user-friendly."
"The solution operates well."
"It's easy to use, and the Hana Studio is pretty good."
"Eases management of databases."
"The solution can easily be modeled."
"The data storage requirement is reduced from the original database to the HANA database."
"We are using the solution for the DW system. The primary function of the solution is for the database in memory."
"All features are valuable."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"Technical support could be better."
"It's a complex initial setup."
"I don't have direct access to SAP, and instead, I need to go through the SAP office in India."
"The solution is very expensive for us."
"There are a few areas wherein there could be a patch upgrade, and that can cover up the country-specific payroll areas."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"They can improve their technology for the CRM subsystem. There are other products that are better and more effective for the CRM subsystem. Its price could be better. It is expensive."
"The initial setup was pretty complex, considering the enormous amount of data they had from an Oracle ERP."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
