More LocalDB Pros →

"They provide easy integration with other systems.""It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field.""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.""SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database.""The actual interface is good.""Provides very good integration.""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."

Cons
"The solution needs to create a management tool. Right now, the solution has tools for creating a local installation, but it's too simplistic. We need something that's a bit more complex so that we can extend the tools with our scripts.""The initial setup is complex and requires a skilled person.""The internal connection features of LocalDB could improve.""The ALM features can be improved, but the database by itself is reliable."

More LocalDB Cons →

"User interface could be more user friendly.""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.""Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products.""There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access.""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."
