"Replication is a valuable feature and easy to use."
"IBM Informix benefits users with high availability and good integration capabilities."

"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the interaction it provides with external suppliers and clients."
"The solution is marvelous because it controls everything including workflow and that makes our company more productive."
"It is difficult for me to narrow down what the best features are in SAP HANA because they work together to provide the overall functionality of the solution. However, the Fiori application is very good."

"In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies."
"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."
