Databases are automatically upgraded and cloning of pluggable databases requires just one command
Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases. A great feature is that you can upgrade the container to a more recent version and all the pluggable databases are automatically upgraded to that version. Previously it would have required an upgrade for each database. The second great feature is the clone which enables you to get the clone of pluggable databases with one command, as opposed to copying data from one place to another.

Pros

"Multitenant has a container database with many pluggable databases."
"You can scale the solution as needed."
"It's easy to use and works great."
"The most valuable features are the speed and ease of use."
"The feature that I like on Multitenant is the ease - it is very easy for my team to run the database."
"The best thing about Oracle Multitenant is its ability to consolidate multiple databases into one engine."
"It is quite stable. We have not faced any kind of instability in the database."
"Maintaining databases is a valuable feature for us."
"The feature I found most valuable in SAP HANA is modeling. I also like that the solution has good integration and you can integrate it with any system, even third-party systems."
"What's most valuable in SAP HANA is that it covers the business process systems of my company. The solution also helps because it makes almost everything automated. Another valuable feature of SAP HANA is that it can be integrated with third parties and other enhancements needed by the company."
"The most valuable feature of SAP HANA is the modeling of the databases."
"This is a feature-rich product and I like all of them."
"We like that the product is both vertically and horizontally scalable, allowing us to do around 86 percent compression of documentation from 50 to seven terabytes."
"Provides us with predictive capabilities for asset maintenance, and real-time forecasts."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"We have found that the Fiori Apps are particularly good."
 

Cons

"There are many functions where changes are not easy to implement, and we try to avoid modifying these areas due to security issues and the complexity of maintaining them."
"Technical support could be faster."
"The user interface for this solution can be made better."
"There is room for improvement in customer service and support."
"The solution lacks a GUI for commands."
"While the product is overall excellent, it is quite expensive."
"It can be complicated to scale up the solution, but it's scalable."
"It would be beneficial to include this solution with Oracle Enterprise, but Oracle charges additional fees for it."
"I would have rated the solution higher if this version was not missing some key features the newer version has."
"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."
"If the developers were to enhance or improve the application logic while processing the transactions, that would be great."
"There could be better management for faster updates, last year there were some changes in India to the e-invoicing feature."
"The openness of the system could be more developed. The solution should go into the cloud. The cloud mechanism should be more invested."
"SAP HANA's long run time to extract data could be improved upon."
"The pricing is expensive."
"Technical support could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is a little bit pricey."
"The price is worth the quality."
"For me, I will go with it if I have the budget. Some features are nicer than before, but at the end of the day, you always have a limited budget. I prefer to upgrade and get a specific hardware when possible. At the end, you will have to make a compromise. You will not get everything you would have liked to have."
"The price is on the expensive side, at eight out of ten, with ten being expensive."
"There is a yearly subscription to use SAP HANA. There is a fee for maintenance."
"While the cost of the license may seem high, it is important to note that the benefits of the solution far outweighs the cost."
"We pay for a maintenance license, and the licensing cost is high. In general, it is a very expensive solution."
"People who are technical will accept the cost, but financially they will assess whether this solution will bring them revenue or not. People often ask, how will I profit when the cost is so high?"
"The cost of SAP HANA is high, and I would rate the price at eight out of ten."
"The pricing is a bit on the high side."
"There is an annual license to use SAP HANA."
