We performed a comparison between MySQL, Oracle Database Cloud Service, and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."Setup is easy. MySQL of various flavours has community editions to easily test, deploy, and run."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"MySQL's most significant attribute is its capability to create, modify, and maintain databases. This is crucial and advantageous in procedures, such as SOAR. Therefore, all SQL functions are beneficial to any backend developer or developer who requires data storage."
"However, it is easy to scale MySQL using the functions provided with the product."
"I am totally satisfied with MySQL."
"I like the simplistic view of MySQL to build custom queries and things like that as compared to SQL Server, which seems more cluttered. SQL Server has a query analyzer. MySQL pretty much does the same, and performance-wise, it has less overhead for connecting to our ERP system. It seems more responsive and cleaner. With MySQL, you get what you need without any overbloating, for which Microsoft is known. That's why they have so many constant security patches for everything because there is so much stuff, which degrades performance."
"I like the JSON stuff."
"Apart from the features that are in the enterprise part, we find the database to be valuable. The connectors and the backup features are valuable as well. We use the basic database. We don't really use the extra features. Our clients like the security features in the database."
"What I like best about Oracle Database Cloud Service is its nice performance. My company doesn't have any problems with the service. The technical support for it is also good. My company is satisfied with Oracle Database Cloud Service. I also like the availability of the service. It's a trustworthy service. I didn't experience any downtime from it. My company also has additional features included in the contract, such as WAP, which makes operations easier. My team can implement all the architecture with the features and services that Oracle Database Cloud Service offers. Technically, this is a very, very, good product or database, whether on-premises or on the cloud."
"The product’s most valuable feature is affordable pricing compared to other providers."
"The most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service is its cloud capabilities."
"It is a very stable program."
"Data storage is the most valuable feature of Oracle Database Cloud Service."
"Security is the most valuable feature provided by the product."
"I am impressed with the product's partitioning and advanced data card."
"Oracle DCS's most valuable features are its high availability and scalability."
"Some functions have good performance."
"SAP HANA is vertically and horizontally scalable."
"It has a very huge bandwidth and data transfer."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"We have found the solution to be customizable and it is beneficial it comes as a bundled package. Additionally, it is user-friendly."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the modeling of the databases."
"Its in-memory capabilities are good, which is why many companies still use it."
"Clusters are hard to perform so we use no SQL alternates like MongoDB."
"I would like to improve the solution’s pricing for licenses."
"We want to continue using MySQL but it merged with Oracle and the scalage changed."
"The GUI could improve to make MySQL better."
"The availability of tools could be improved in the MySQL open-source platform. They can provide more analytical tools. I haven't had any particularly difficult issues to troubleshoot on MySQL, but in the past, on Microsoft SQL Server, I had to troubleshoot some difficult issues, and better tools were in place to see what was going on in real-time on the server. So, that's the bit that is lacking on the MySQL open-source platform."
"It requires a training platform."
"Even for the best database, we always want the database to perform much better, so we wish MySQL would be much better, in terms of performance."
"I would like to see the automatic backup feature in the solution as well. Data is very important and we need to preserve it in a safe place. It would be good if MySQL can back up the data automatically."
"We're actually going through licensing issues and are looking to perhaps changing to another solution, something that is perhaps open-source."
"The pricing must be improved."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service could improve by adding some cross-region replication features."
"It would be nice to have a data dictionary reporting feature in the solution."
"We encountered connection failures for some of our sites."
"The initial setup is a bit complex for the beginner, so you need a little technical experience to install it."
"Oracle Database Cloud Service is a good engine and at the moment, there isn't any new feature I can think of that I'd like added to the service. The only problem I see in Oracle Database Cloud Service is it's more commercial, so it has a relation to how it deals with customers. I don't feel secure in a deal with Oracle because that team changes the conditions each year, and there's no representative from the team that talks to my company about new needs. Oracle needs to improve its relationship with customers and partners in general."
"Oracle should work on the solution's compatibility issues with the operating system."
"The installation process could be more straightforward."
"The documentation can be improved in the future."
"I give the scalability of SAP HANA a six out of ten."
"The inclusion of a well-performing Time Machine is vital."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
"It is challenging to integrate it with third-party tools."
"SAP HANA is not strong like Oracle when it comes to finance. They are only strong with the logistic business project."
"If the developers were to enhance or improve the application logic while processing the transactions, that would be great."
