We performed a comparison between Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop and SAP HANA based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Hadoop solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The search function is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"Customer service and support were able to fix whatever the issue was."
"The most valuable feature is Kubernetes."
"We also really like the Cloudera community. You can have any question and will have your answer within a few hours."
"The data science aspect of the solution is valuable."
"The product provides better data processing features than other tools."
"It is helpful to gather and process data."
"The tool can be deployed using different container technologies, which makes it very scalable."
"It's sufficed all of our requirements. We primarily needed it to run SAP applications, like NetWeaver or S/4HANA, and it has been really good at that."
"One feature I find very valuable, is the response time of the application on the database memory."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"Integration is the most valuable feature we use SAP HANA for."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"This solution is very fast."
"The performance is very, very good. It's one of the best aspects of the solution."
"The in-memory database is excellent."
"It would be useful if Cloudera had more tools like SQL Engines that offer the traditional relational database. We have to do a lot of work preparing the data outside Cloudera before getting it into the platform."
"The tool's ability to be deployed on a cloud model is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Without the big data environment, we cannot store all of this data live. We have billions of records and terabytes of storage to be used. It's not an option actually for us to have a big data environment."
"This is a very expensive solution."
"The areas of improvement depend on the scale of the project. For banking customers, security features and an essential budget for commercial licenses would be the top priority. Data regulation could be the most crucial for a project with extensive data or an extra use case."
"Cloudera Distribution for Hadoop has a limited feature list and a lot of costs involved."
"While the deployed product is generally functional, there are instances where it presents difficulties."
"Cloudera's support is extremely bad and cannot be relied on."
"SAP HANA isn't user-friendly, and it's very hard to train newcomers to use it."
"The only downside of the product is that it is an expensive solution that needs to consider lowering its prices to improve the product."
"FI, or the financial module of SAP, has room for improvement. It has to have some better localization for the Middle East, especially in regards to taxes and the letter of credit cycle. I would like to see better localization from the HCM."
"I'd just like to see some more improvements done on the training, both on the functional training and technical training sides as a part of the complete solution."
"The JDBC connectors are very slow."
"In my limited experience using SAP, the process of granting access to different modules is difficult. Specifically, the requirement to assign roles and key codes to users rather than being able to assign them individually made the process more complex. It would be beneficial if there was a way to assign key codes separately, rather than having to create multiple roles. This would make managing access easier."
"More standards would help in the future."
"Unlike other databases, it lacks management features that legacy databases like Oracle or SQL servers have. They need to make the solution easier to manage and offer tools that make management more effective. A lot of things you have on traditional databases you have to develop into HANA."
