Here are some excerpts of what they said:
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.""Provides very good integration.""They provide easy integration with other systems.""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.""SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database.""The actual interface is good.""It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."

"It is very robust for ad hoc DW queries and its columnar compression is unique and valuable.""The primary benefit of SAP IQ is its ability to limit the expansion of the costly SAP HANA database, which has limited storage capacity. This necessitates a form of data management that involves moving data from SAP HANA to SAP NLS, which is essentially archiving. This allows us to retain access to the data via a link whenever it is required.""The column-based technologies (basically all the database for ITP) are used for SAP IQ. It is used as a column-based solution.""Valuable features for us include the compression, speed, fast response time, and easy object maintenance.""Unbeatable speed and compression with a colummn-structured relational database.""Columnar storage allows high compression, high load rates and high query performance."

Cons
"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.""Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products.""The solution should improve view partitioning. The documentation is very confined and available only for users. Distributors also would like access to it.""User interface could be more user friendly.""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.""There could be some improvements in barcode scanning and RFID access.""Because the solution is customized. we do occasionally face unique bugs. There are always some changes that need to be made here and there."

More SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise Cons →

"The solution works best when combined with other SAP solutions. If the environment has other systems other options might be better.""Concurrency and functional error messaging.""Multiplex is very problematic. There are consistency problems in the metadata, meaning it is possible to lose metadata consistency. You should make sure you have healthy backups.""The organization who owns the product does not support it well and appears not to be doing significant development for the future.""I think the universe should be part of the Sybase IQ tool set.""The room for improvement would be the marketing of the product, because this product is much better than advertised."
