SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) vs. SAP MaxDB vs. Sequel Pro

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.

It's a great tool when building the software, the ability to add SQL and No-SQL databases. Very convenient to write the queries and generate the filtered data we require. Gives the ability to export, import databases of various formats and generate reports from them. It might not be suitable if you want the data to be seen in a visualized manner

• High availability and reliability.
• High performance.
• Monitoring of threshold based events.
• Security at multiple levels.
• Query plan optimization.
• Lock management.
• Access to HANA.

• Table filters are simple and easy to use
• I love the ability to install plugins: Export tables to Laravel migrations is one of our most used plugins
• Super easy to connect to local Docker containers, Vagrant and remote DBs through SSH

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

• It crashes CONSTANTLY. If you have more than one connection tab open and close one of them, it crashes. If you just have it open in the background, it randomly crashes. If you're using it, it randomly crashes. When you try to send a crash report, the CRASH REPORTER CRASHES.
• Can be a bit slow.
• No way that I'm aware of to query multiple databases in the same query.

Our licenses are perpetual. It is the support that we will be renewing. We will renew because we continue to use and receive value from the product.

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.

It is easy to use, but the design could use updating as it's very dated.

Incredibly responsive, saving us countless hours in troubleshooting.

It's open-source and very convenient to work with. I can easily import any database I want using a data dump and runt the queries on them to derive the data insights on the data. I might want to use Excel to visualize that, that might be one of the disadvantages.

MySQL Workbench is a wonderful tool, but the routine editing of existing data is note nearly as straightforward as it is in Sequel Pro. The ability to sort a data view with a single click makes Sequel Pro my definite choice. phpMyAdmin is pretty ubiquitous, but the routine editing of existing data is much more cumbersome than it is in Sequel Pro.

• 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).

Incentivized

• The user interface is great. Since all of our computers are macOS based, we can all use it and share knowledge with our colleagues
• It enables me to make things in such a faster way that it enables us to spend our time with coding and providing more solutions to our clients
• The workflow is much improved with the import and export feature, so we don't waste time with that kind of work.
