## SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) Reviews
  ### 1. SAP is so frustrating to work with!!!! Not worth it.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** AHolland L. | Research Technician/Lab Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 09, 2021

**What do you like best about SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)?**

I like that there are different vendors to search for and that vendors can be added relatively easily when purchasing from different companies. overall it is also convenient that you can add items from different vendors to the same cart. i don’t use it for much more than purchasing. the interface is relatively clean and clear and usually all the lines that are needed are labeled clearly.

**What do you dislike about SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE)?**

I don’t like that it crashes all the time and that it can be extremely difficult to work with. i’ve been working with it for over a year and i still have issues with doing what i want sometimes and i hate when i fill my shopping cart and then it crashes and i cant reload it and sometimes things get stuck in my cart. there is literally no way to get in contact with the customer service and technical support so good luck with that is you encounter any issues. it’s also not very aesthetically pleasing/the interface in just tacky.

**Recommendations to others considering SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE):**

have someone around that knows how to use it and have good knowledge of internet and technology. also i would recommend making sure your internet connection is strong whenever you use it otherwise it’s frustrating to get back in and to also make new carts, it’s like going backwards and a waste of time. plus there’s like no technical support. 


I would also recommend writing down what you can!

**What problems is SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I really just get frustrated with the search function but it’s convenient that there are lots of vendors. i would say that it’s probably the best option for larger companies though, like johns hopkins. it’s hard to get an account but when you have it and know what you’re doing, it can actually be relatively convenient.
