    We work with our customers databases all the time and they are containing PHI and other secured data for patients. With many clients on-prem it does a good job hosting the data and doing backup recovery and makes it so DBAs are not having to be so involoved with recovery efforts.

    We use this for an inbuilt security management system, where it performs well in a scaled setup with a large volume of live data with high availability. Also, the performance is up to the mark for the large statement flow. From a DBA perspective, a lot of parameters need to be fine-tuned for the specific environment needs, which can cause overhead. Expertise is limited, and the learning curve is steep for the SAP ASE.

    • A quick button for devs to switch instances into a dev mode (eliminating logs, and such).
    • Licensing is far too complicated. Simplify pricing.

    Well-suited in the security domain, high performance, and low latency of the DBMS. In terms of the DBA perspective, a dedicated monitoring tool (Cockpit) helps a lot in terms of managing the database, which helps in identifying bottlenecks during performance issues. Also, it helps us to send custom alerts related to Database activities.

    AWS seems to be the most impactuful. It has the most value that we found across AZURE and MongoDB, but it might be the most difficult to use as well.

    • Positive ROI.
    • Ease of use with minimal training required to write high performance SQL (assumes a knowledge of SQL already).
    • Ease of database administration.
    • Sometimes upgrades can be difficult.
    • Changing platforms can be difficult (changing say from SPARC to Intel).
    • Changing operating systems can be difficult (changing from Solaris to linux).
