We performed a comparison between MariaDB and SAP IQ 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."I like the global transaction IDs (GTIDs) feature. It's quite reliable for replication between a master and a replica server, and it's a feature that MySQL also has but implemented differently."
"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."
"I would say that for most use cases it works fine."
"Great monitoring and performance stability."
"The solution is very stable. It was originally built under MySQL. It has a similar level of stability."
"The most valuable feature is that it uses multiple cores, which is better than some of the other databases."
"MariaDB is a fast and flexible tool."
"I am editing."
"The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution."
"Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."
"Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance."
"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."
"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable."
"Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database."
"Lacks time series data and additional driving support would be helpful."
"The maintenance and performance could be a bit better."
"The performance could be a bit better."
"In future releases, mainly the addition of security features would be beneficial for MariaDB."
"The product needs more features and more functionality. It's imperative that it supports more platforms, and supports more operating systems."
"The customer service and support are okay. But the response time is slow. Moreover, the material is not available freely."
"It doesn't have the same level of maturity metrics as Postgres."
"The GUI could be improved a bit. The user interface needs to be improved."
"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 organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future."
"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better."
"I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set."
"Concurrency and functional error messaging."
