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.
"The feature I found most valuable is activity performance."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The tool is open-source and there is no cost involved in its use."
"I am totally satisfied with MySQL."
"A good traditional database that supports JSON."
"The solution is very stable."
"It's a mature solution that's been around for decades."
"The fact that it is free is what appeals to me the most."
"It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the modeling of the databases."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
"It's stable and reliable."
"The solution is marvelous because it controls everything including workflow and that makes our company more productive."
"It's user-friendly so long as you use it frequently."
"We can save data very easily."
"MySQL could be improved by adding more automation."
"Sometimes, not because the version is not the latest version, there are some issues with it. Sometimes there's an issue with the server which creates issues with it."
"When it comes to supporting big data, there is space to improve upon the database engines that are supported by MySQL."
"The auto-tuning and NDB cluster has some limitations regarding foreign keys."
"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 want high availability and replication features, which are currently missing in this solution. It would be great if they can provide an in-built replication feature, similar to Oracle RAC, in MySQL."
"Integration is a key feature in need of improvement."
"The integration with other systems can be improved as can the integration between other databases."
"HANA could be improved by adding analytics and development models in the institution."
"The product lacks some flexibility in its settings and configurations."
"Uses a large amount of RAM and is costly."
"The SAP HANA interface has room for improvement because it takes more work to manage than the Microsoft SQL Server interface."
"I would like to see improvements in the connectivity of the solution with other BI software. Not every software can connect to it natively."
"SAP HANA is not perfect and they could improve by having more options and more integration."
"What needs improvement in SAP HANA is its automation, in particular, it needs more enhancements in that area."
"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."
