We performed a comparison between MYSQL and. SAP HANA based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison of Results: Based on the parameters we compared, MYSQL seems to be the superior solution. Our reviewers feel that the question concerning whether or not SAP HANA is easy to deploy, the features that it lacks, and its expensive price tag make MYSQL the better investment.
"I like MySQL's feature that helps to automate things."
"The initial setup for the SQL database is not complex and it even integrates into the platform. You set up the recipe and then just follow the runbook, the build book. Then it works as long as you follow the procedures."
"MySQL is a scalable tool. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...The solution's technical support is good. I rate the technical support a nine out of ten."
"MySQL has cross-platform support for multiple operating systems. The backups on a Linux machine can be restored on a Windows machine, and vice versa."
"The deployment process is pretty fast."
"MySQL is open-source. There are a lot of open-source communities trying to come up with their own patches, and to come up with their own features, which help MySQL develop faster than traditional databases like Oracle, which is closed source."
"MySQL is easy and convenient for me. I don't need to rely on anyone. I can write the code and extract the information. It is fast if you know how to use it. The solution is not expensive, and most of the developers know how to use it. It is easy to create tables. The solution is stable and has good performance. The connection with AWS gives regular updates, which is manual otherwise and a nightmare."
"We use the basic features of MySQL. The interface that allows us to see the parameters of the server is good."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement."
"SAP HANA is a stable solution."
"The solution is very stable."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"We appreciate that the current, redesigned version of this solution that is much more straightforward for new users, and has been well thought out with industry best practice standards in mind."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the integration with other solutions in data quality."
"It isn't as reliable as an SQL Server."
"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."
"The GUI could improve to make MySQL better."
"I would like to see some improvements in the solution’s integration aspects."
"They should come up with a better solution than the NDB cluster for better scaling. If they could come up with a better solution for write scaling, apart from the NDB cluster, which is supported by all open source communities, that would be great. Although the NDB cluster, I believe, is an open-source tool, it's not widely supported as a solution."
"Scalability could be improved."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"Improvements are required in character set support, scalability, and big data sets."
"The solution's development platform should be more flexible and scalable to adapt to other solutions."
"When we are using SAP HANA we have some difficulty with the customization. We would like to be able to add and make customized menus."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly."
"The SAP HANA interface has room for improvement because it takes more work to manage than the Microsoft SQL Server interface."
"The product lacks some flexibility in its settings and configurations."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
