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."It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"The most valuable part of the tool stems from the fact that it is a very cost-efficient product compared to the newer technologies because it needs a very small amount of RAM."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"It's pretty good at handling a large number of transactions, which is critical for a banking client."
"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."
"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."
"As I only worked part-time on SAP HANA, I did not have the opportunity to explore the advanced features of the solution. However, I did work with basic features, such as user administration and access controls for the accounting department. The feature that stood out to me the most was the Single Sign-On and user administration, backup, and server management. My experience with SAP HANA was mainly focused on basic server improvements."
"The in-memory computing and the efficient response time are very good features."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis."
"It is very flexible to integrate with SaaS components."
"It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it."
"SAP HANA is vertically and horizontally scalable."
"What I like best about SAP HANA is that it's faster than Microsoft SQL Server."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve."
"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."
"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."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"The inclusion of a well-performing Time Machine is vital."
"The surface side or Attack dashboard needs improvement because there are some gaps after sales services."
"More standards would help in the future."
"I would have rated the solution higher if this version was not missing some key features the newer version has."
"High availability and disaster recovery are very poor in HANA."
"SAP HANA is a very proprietary tool and there's not as much support available for it as there is for an SQL Server (which is more popular)."
"The product lacks some flexibility in its settings and configurations."
"While new users to this solution have the benefit of the new design, existing ERP users may experience issues with migrating legacy data. We would like to see development of ready-made tools that allow for easy mapping when upgrading."
