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.

Cons

"The tool’s stability must be improved."

"The technical support is in need of improvement."

"Oracle MySQL Cloud Service's scalability is an area of concern that can be better."

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

"In a production environment, upgrading from a lower to an upper version is a very long process that needs to be improved."

"The user interface is not simple."

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

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

More Oracle MySQL Cloud Service cons

"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."

"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."

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

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

"User interface could be more user friendly."

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

"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."

"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."

More SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise cons

"The license is expensive."

"The licensing cost for ASE is pretty low."

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