"A decent system to start out with, but not the best."

2.5/5

What do you like best about SAP SQL Anywhere?

The TSQL language that is used is good, similar to most others. Relatively easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP SQL Anywhere?

The software to manage it is a bit outdated, and I liked the other SQL flavors we have used more. About 20 years ago SQL Anywhere was a king, and since then I feel that they have not brought as much to the table as the other competitors in this field. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP SQL Anywhere solving and how is that benefiting you?

Originally, our system was a flat-based file DB. When switching to SQL Anywhere, it was a huge upgrade, getting our clients into a SQL system which we could then host. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
