Find out what your peers are saying about SAP, Oracle, Firebird and others in Embedded Database."SAP HANA's most valuable features are monitoring, reporting, and price and stock control."
"The solution offers advanced features that the company was struggling to implement."
"When we upgraded, we received more functions or more features."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It usually takes around eight months but it depends on a customer's requirements. We can spend a month or two customizing."
"The UX experience is very good."
"A very feature-rich solution with excellent performance."
"The product handles high volumes very well and provides good integration."
"We can save data very easily."
"The product can automatically reinstall and reconfigure in case of a shutdown."
"The ability to store data in memory is a standout feature, enhanced by robust failover mechanisms."
"The product's initial setup phase was pretty straightforward, with no complex processes."
"MemSQL supports the MySQL protocol, and many functions are similar, so the learning curve is very short."
"It's a distributed relational database, so it does not have a single server, it has multiple servers. Its architecture itself is fast because it has multiple nodes to distribute the workload and process large amounts of data."
"The paramount advantage is the exceptional speed."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create pipelines, streamline and extract data from the pipelines."
"The user interface and CRM need to be more user-friendly."
"The interface is a little bit hard to customize. You almost have to consult the SAP original developer to change it."
"I think that the pricing is high and it needs improvement."
"In a future release, SAP HANA should add a module for taxation, such as income tax and withholding tax."
"Technical support should be more customer-friendly."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"Uses a large amount of RAM and is costly."
"The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research."
"We don't get good discounts in Pakistan."
"Poor key distribution can significantly impact performance, requiring a backward approach in design rather than adding tables incrementally."
"Having the ability to migrate servers using a single command would be extremely beneficial."
"For new customers, it's very tough to start. Their documentation isn't organized, and there's no online training available. SingleStore is working on it, but that's a major drawback."
"It is not the optimal choice for direct data collection through queries, and it's more suited for aggregation tasks."
"There should be more pipelines available because I think that if MemSQL can connect to other services, that would be great."
"The product can be developed further to provide more appropriate output to users as it is one of the areas where there are shortcomings."
