Columnar database, so pulling records is easy but there isn't enough documentation for installation

I've seen very few SAP IQ systems in recent years. So people are moving away from SAP IQ In the last three years, I've rarely encountered customers using it. Fewer systems with SAP IQ usage among our customers. Most of them have moved on to HANA. There are parallel products, and there are also viable alternatives from AWS, so many have migrated to those.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Oracle Database In-Memory is a suite of features that improves performance for real-time analytics and mixed workloads."

"The scalability is very good."

"The product offers high scalability."

"Normally, every database server uses hard disks. In-Memory has a feature, apart from their database, which is very good. When we start our server, all your data needs loading memory. We can use that. It's a very good feature. I think they added this feature in 2019. We can mount memory in the partition, create partitions in there, and create table space from that spot to share. It's a really good feature. We use it a lot."

"Security is the most valuable feature."

"It efficiently handles low-code data and supports read-and-write operations for clustering."

"The solution's most valuable feature is its performance optimization within our hardware environment."

"The on-premise version is stable. We have different teams and resources for the server side, for admin, and for development. We can easily take care of all the services and applications."

More Oracle Database In-Memory pros

"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."

"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."

"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."

"The initial setup is easy."

"The product is easy to learn."

"The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required."

"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."

"All data is compressed and indexed, allowing for fast execution of transactions."

More SAP IQ pros

Cons

"The solution should move to the new way of writing software code with AI that is intelligent and learns."

"The product could be more economical."

"It would be good if Oracle could reduce downtime when transferring from non-In-Memory to In-Memory."

"The high cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"We use some partitions in In-Memory. We have a very large table and a low dose. It is very expensive in data to load all of them into In-Memory. It takes up more memory slots in the server, as well as a lot of RAM. We use last partitions on the table. We always need to create a script and make a schedule that can load a last partition in In-Memory. Oracle doesn't have features to do this automatically. I would like them to allow us to load last partitions, as well as other table partitions, in In-Memory. I think a good feature would do that automatically, letting you see a table, load a large partition, and monitor loading memory. It's quite a good feature."

"The pricing could be improved. It would ideal if it was more reasonable."

"The platform’s pricing needs improvement."

"I would like Oracle Database In-Memory to include a data replication feature."

More Oracle Database In-Memory cons

"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."

"Concurrency and functional error messaging."

"Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups."

"The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."

"The only negative aspect of IQ is the cost, which can be challenging for companies in Peru."

"The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."

"The tool gets stuck sometimes."

"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."

More SAP IQ cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform's licensing cost needs improvement."

"Database In-Memory is priced a bit higher than its competitors like Microsoft."

"It's quite costly and it comes with a fixed price."

"There is a need to make a yearly payment towards the licensing costs, after which there is any to pay towards the support cost attached to the solution."

"The solution's pricing is high."

"I rate the pricing a zero out of ten because Database In-Memory is too costly."

"The pricing is pretty good so I rate it an eight out of ten."

"Oracle Database In-Memory is expensive."

More Oracle Database In-Memory pricing and cost advice

"The cost of implementation is about $3,000."

"Evaluate all options; check to see if you need expensive add-ons."

"Negotiation is very important."

"Negotiate based on the features required."

"It's not that costly. So, the pricing is cheap."

"The only costs after standard licensing fees are for add-ons and upgrades."
