Overall Satisfaction with SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise
We use ASE as our primary DB. It handles data across virtually all departments. We have hundreds of billions of rows of data spanning many decades. Given the amount of work it does within our organization, it is incredibly reliable rivaled by SQL Server in stability and performance. Given that our organization doesn't employ DBAs and that all our DBs are developers, Sybase has made our lives relatively easy considering what we ask of it.
- Easy to setup and maintain
- Reliable, rarely has major hiccups requiring reboots or crashes
- Very responsive with complicated queries spanning various tablespaces and hundreds of millions of rows
- A quick button for devs to switch instances into a dev mode (eliminating logs, and such).
- Licensing is far too complicated. Simplify pricing.
- Negative - Costs a lot ... but so do they all.
- Positive - It does what we need it to do.
Much less effort than Oracle. Much better customer support than Oracle.
Roughly equivalent to SQL Server in performance and ease of use. Much better customer service than SQL Server.
Different ballpark from IQ. Same customer service.
