We performed a comparison between SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise and Vertica based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and others in Relational Databases Tools."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."
"SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise is a good transactional database."
"The actual interface is good."
"It's user-friendly, especially in the logistics field."
"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."
"I like the projection feature, which increases query performance."
"DBAs don’t need to add a partition every month/quarter like with other DBs."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the unmatchable database performance."
"For me, It's performance, scalability, low cost, and it's integrated into enterprise and big data environments."
"The extensibility and efficiency provided by their C++ SDK."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"Any novice user can tune vertical queries with minimal training (or no training at all)."
"I enjoy the cybersecurity and backup features."
"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."
"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."
"Cost-wise, SAP is still expensive compared to other available products."
"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."
"They could improve the integration and some of the features in the cloud version."
"It should provide a GUI interface for data management and tuning."
"It needs integration with multiple clouds."
"In my opinion, Vertica's documentation could be improved. Currently, there is not enough documentation available to gain a comprehensive understanding of the platform."
"We are looking for a cheaper deployment for the solution. Although we did a lot of benchmarks, like Redshift. We tried Redshift, it didn't work. It didn't work out for us as well."
"Vertica's native cloud support could be improved, and its installation could be made easier."
"One feature, which has really benefited us, is the scalability offered by Vertica as it has enabled Pythian's clients to manage data with agility."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
