We performed a comparison between MariaDB 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."We use MariaDB for identity provider services. Most of the things that we are doing are deployed in the container mode. All such solutions require a database, and MariaDB is easier to use for these kinds of deployments."
"It's open source."
"The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect."
"It is very simple to install, and the commands are exactly the same as MySQL."
"One of the great features of MariaDB is its scalability. It's easy to handle even with large databases."
"It's easy to set up."
"MariaDB is scalable."
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode."
"The feature that I like the most is that we can transport the data to our web data application. SAP HANA's performance is really perfect. We're working on big data, and SAP HANA is really working on high performance. We are happy working with it."
"We like that the product is both vertically and horizontally scalable, allowing us to do around 86 percent compression of documentation from 50 to seven terabytes."
"We appreciate that the current, redesigned version of this solution that is much more straightforward for new users, and has been well thought out with industry best practice standards in mind."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"The functionality is of the solution is very good."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"In comparison with other DMS solutions, it offers good performance."
"The solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement."
"MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types."
"An improvement would be scaling it up to the levels of Oracle, especially when it comes to resilience, so that we can do higher transactions for two databases or power our operation."
"Master-master replication is something that needs to be simplified."
"The solution can improve by having support for more integration. However, at this time it is working well for us."
"MariaDB can improve by adding more features. There are a lot of features, which are available in Oracle, and which are not available in MariaDB. We hope they will introduce the features soon."
"Data continuity could be improved."
"There is room for improvement in terms of security."
"The configuration could be improved. It should be easier."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"It would be nice to know when SAP plans to stop its maintenance of a previous version of SAP ECC ERP because, at this point, anyone utilizing SAP will have no choice but to go on S/4HANA Database."
"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."
"I'd just like to see some more improvements done on the training, both on the functional training and technical training sides as a part of the complete solution."
"Technical support could be better."
"Ease of use could be improved in SAP HANA. I like SAP because SAP solutions can be used by anyone, which means even laymen can start working on SAP tools, but in SAP HANA modeling, you'll need to know some other technologies and sequel scripting, and you need a separate skillset, so if you don't have the skillset, you won't be able to work on SAP HANA. Making SAP HANA low-code would make it even better."
"The solution could improve by having better migration flexibility. For example, it would be helpful if there was a way for customers could check their nonproduction and production deployments."
"You cannot apply mulit-join inside the calculation views, for example, when you are joining tables."
