It is not as good as a SQL Server. I prefer to work with the SQL Server for Microsoft or Oracle. These are better as there are some comments on SQL Anywhere that makes me feel that I'm blocked. We'd like to have them update to a new version. They should update more often. I find I can't move to a new version without running tests as there are chances of bugs that can get into my system. The initial setup is not simple or straightforward, and it took a while to deploy. It is not as secure as it could be. This is an aspect they need to improve. There needs to be more encryption.

Right now, we are changing to SQL MUL because Microsoft SQL is not so good. SQL Anywhere is easy and it did not cost as much as SQL Microsoft. SQL Microsoft was slow, especially with the huge amount of data that we have, but SQL Anywhere is faster for the deployment of our data. For us, our customers were trying to figure out how to pay less, and the answer was SQL Anywhere. We found SAP SQL Anywhere more efficient than the SQL Server. We change all our submissions to SQL Anywhere. SQL Server is very good, but SQL Anywhere is better, at least, that's what we've found in our experience. SQL Anywhere is not complex, SQL Server is very complex, but we can create a procedure in SQL Anywhere and it's very simple to do so. It can even create a report for VMB. We recently created one and it was easy. I would rate this solution seven out of ten.
