We performed a comparison between Oracle Database and SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise 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."Scalable and stable database platform. Setting it up was straightforward."
"I like the backend robustness of the database, and the security capabilities inherently that are in the product itself."
"Technical support is great."
"It's fast compared to other databases."
"Oracle is a stable product and we plan to continue implementing it."
"Most of our customers have been using multitenant options. Advanced Compression and Advanced Security are the most valuable features in most customer environments."
"Oracle Database is running on the same old hardware that I had the 11g version on and it is operating faster. It seems to be really good. It's fast even when the workload is heavy, easy to do backups and other administrative tasks with the Enterprise Manager."
"I like the performance power and the interface of the solution."
"Provides very good integration."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"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."
"They provide easy integration with other systems."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"Oracle Database required some time to learn the basics and how it works. However, this is typical for database solutions."
"The licensing could be cheaper and clearer."
"We don't really find that any features are lacking."
"The high price of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is a lot of room for improvement. Ease of use is probably the biggest complaint. They're getting somewhat better, but it is not as easy or intuitive as it could be in terms of maintaining and managing the database."
"Technical support needs improvement."
"It could be cheaper and easier to manage. Support could also be better. Performance could be better. Sometimes testing impacts the prediction performance. We have a complex server that serves both prediction and testing. Sometimes testing applies to many other deployments that impact the service provided. It's a problem for our company."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."
"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."
"User interface could be more user friendly."
"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."
"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."
"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."
