    SAP SQL Anywhere is better than not using a database, let's be clear there! However, I wouldn't pick it as my first or even second or third choice. I'd recommend looking at other options. Largely, it appears less powerful both in terms of its robustness and general performance and in its implementation of SQL. The standard Sybase utilities provided are lacking in basic features, and the interactive SQL utility is quite horrendous. However, the great thing is it is an ODBC-compliant SQL-compliant relational database.

    Cons
    IBM
    • More tech support may make it easier as it is only limited to be done via company representatives
    • Overhead cost for replacements and services looks like it is high compared to others
    • Integration with other cloud based application will be great

    • I think it should be more user friendly for non-technical users.
    • More functional functionalities should be added to the object explore when working with a table to transform data/manipulate data.

    Netezza is sufficient against similar products. It comes down to personal preference, I'd love to have the data objects popping up as I type but some people may not like it.

    I worked with Oracle for years during my career. I wouldn't select SQL Anywhere to implement a global ATM system with tens of thousands of concurrent connections, but SQL Anywhere is much easier to use and deploy and works very well in workgroup settings. Query performance often exceeds some Oracle versions without having to rely on database tuning.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • The appliance is all in one so we have all licenses and support contracts under one roof.
    • The cost is expensive so ROI may take time to be realized.
    • If done correctly, then Netezza provides the opportunity for huge ROI.

    • Skilled/experienced resources are less prominent than Microsoft SQL Server or even Oracle, or MySQL, so finding solutions and assistance, if needed, takes more time than it would with other platforms
    • You will need to find a good SQL query tool by yourself because the Sybase Central / Interactive SQL utilities are lacking in many basic features, and just generally have a bad user interface
