Ideal, stable, good support and it helps with the developer console

I have used MongoDB, MySQL, and Oracle. MongoDB is entirely different. It's a NoSQL platform database, so it's totally different. It is a little bit hard to work with. The way it is organized and structured is different. But between Microsoft Azure MySQL and Oracle, they are pretty similar. * Cost: Microsoft is not a preferred platform. Their licensing is very complex and expensive. Oracle is much better. * AI: In terms of data analytics and AI, Microsoft is better. Certain complex transformations are easier to do in MSSQL. So, if you have to analyze data from a lot of different data sources, it becomes much easier. However, the usage of the particular product depends on the project. Personally, I would like to work on MySQL. But in certain cases where the application scale is very large, and custom models from certain regions of the globe prefer Microsoft, then we have to go with MSSQL. But technically, there is not much difference.

Offers cost-efficiency as it needs a very small amount of RAM to function

SAP is least bothered about Adaptive Server Enterprise nowadays since it wants to focus on promoting its new product, which is S/4HANA. If SAP gives out new releases and a patch upgrade to improve performance and provide additional options, then SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise can compete with other relational database systems in the market. The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve. I work in a very stable environment, and I prefer a very stable replication and database management system. Most of our company's customers do not want to opt out of SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise, but SAP has announced that it will be ending its support for it in 2027, and though I feel SAP might extend it, I feel SAP will want to promote its new product. Previously, I heard that SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise's end-of-support dates were announced for 2025, but now I think that they have extended it to 2027 or 2030.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"MySQL is a centralized RDBMS in itself, and you don't have the overkill of having the full Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. It's ideal, and it helps with the developer console. It has three versions for developers. It's a very good tool for open source."

"The solution's performance is good."

"The product is good for tuning."

"It is an established open-source database with a vast array of resources available, ensuring you can learn everything needed."

"It is very easy to start working with the product."

"MySQL is very stable and works beautifully with large amounts of data."

"The access to a suite of management and administration tools that simplify tasks such as database provisioning, configuration, and monitoring."

"Overall, I rate Oracle MySQL Cloud Service as a nine out of ten."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service pros

"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."

"The actual interface is good."

"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."

"They provide easy integration with other systems."

"It's pretty good at handling a large number of transactions, which is critical for a banking client."

"The most valuable part of the tool stems from the fact that it is a very cost-efficient product compared to the newer technologies because it needs a very small amount of RAM."

"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."

Cons

"MySQL should have some kind of native query browser. If it could come with a built-in connector."

"There might be minor improvements, however, I can’t identify any particular areas for improvement at the moment."

"They could include more advanced features like clustering and replication in the Oracle databases."

"The solution should offer memory management."

"There could be improvements, particularly in Firebird, where the indexing is limited to just a single B-tree index, leading to poor performance for large-scale queries."

"Sometimes, we face syntax issues with the solution."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service should be easier to replicate and integrate into further solutions."

"The support is not that great. They're not really supporting directly anymore and relying on experts to figure out technical issues."

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

"The overall performance of the product is an area where the tool has certain shortcomings and needs to improve."

"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."

"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."

"Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."

"In my opinion, product support is not that great from SAP because they have already declared the end-of-date for SAP ASE. They will be stopping product support."

"User interface could be more user friendly."

"There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access."

"The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it."

More SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Oracle has a better licensing model compared to its competitors."

"The product is expensive."

"The solution’s paid plans are expensive."

"The license is expensive."

"While the core solution itself is not exorbitant, the support services are associated with a significant maintenance fee, often ranging from twenty to thirty percent."

"It is an open-source product."

"The product is free since it is an open-source tool."

"I rate SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise's pricing a six out of ten."

"Price-wise, the product is worth it since one needs very less infrastructure to use it."

"The licensing cost for ASE is pretty low."
