Pros
"The most valuable feature of MariaDB is that it is open-source and we can easily migrate from other databases, such as Oracle to MariaDB.""MariaDB is a fast and flexible tool.""MariaDB is easy to install and is stable and scalable.""I would say that for most use cases it works fine.""Easy to use and available in most environments.""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.""The most valuable feature of MariaDB is the replication mode.""The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect."

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

Cons
"I am editing.""The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved.""MariaDB could improve by adding support for non-relational structures and new data types.""One feedback I can quickly provide is the need for a robust IDE for MongoDB. The existing PHP admin console doesn't meet the client's requirements effectively.""Could have more integration with user platforms.""The configuration could be improved. It should be easier.""Integration with AWS could be improved.""It would be good if they can maybe improve the mass import in the database. Currently, for importing a large number of data, we create a CSV file and upload all the things in the system. The system does not activate them by default. We have to do this manually. This may be due to the version we are using, but this is something we would like to see improved."

"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there.""User interface could be more user friendly.""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.""The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it.""Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products.""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.""There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Faustine C., Engineering Supervisor- Corporate Data Solutions and Services at TZ Telecoms Corporation, shares, “The software provides a lot of information on what is happening inside the database. For most performance parameters it is easy to know if something is not right in the configuration or optimization which helps engineers take remedial fine-tuning measures. For example, if the database is underperforming it is easy to know which performance parameter can be adjusted to handle the workload. It is difficult to troubleshoot database issues if many performance parameters can not be monitored or debugged which is the case with some database management systems. It provides great monitoring of data storage, processing, and performance stability which is really important for real-time data storage and processing. It's a user-friendly product.”

    A PeerSpot user who is a Senior Engineer at a tech services company relates, “ The solution's high availability is its most valuable aspect. We have found the product to be stable and the initial setup is pretty simple. I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. I'm very happy with it overall. I would recommend the solution to others. It's easy to find details about the product online and to learn about it.”
