SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud vs Virtustream xStream comparison

"Ensuring data integrity across finance, supply chain, and other critical areas is paramount for real-time decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date information is essential for data protection. While the digital solution primarily serves basic maintenance, the ability to handle these core aspects efficiently is invaluable for your needs."

"The processes and the way we take advantage and use assistance are good."

"Companies have gained more productivity because users take less time to finalize tasks as the data is correct, eliminating the need to double-check information constantly."

"There's a minimum amount of downtime when using the solution. This platform is very effective."

"What I like the most is that we can convert databases into a proper multi-dimensional model, and then we can project with the integration with Power BI."

"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."

"One of the features that I've found most useful is that It's very simple. They take care of the technical aspects of the data, installations, patches."

"Traditionally, SAP worked with Oracle databases, but SAP is getting rid of the other databases and promoting its own. SAP will stop support for other databases around 2026, so everyone is moving to SAP S/4HANA for the performance and because it's the preferred database for SAP. S/4HANA has new features from the front-end or application feature perspective. The idea is to move toward future-ready technology."

"The solution has encryption which we did not have before."

"SAP support isn't on par with products like Microsoft Azure or AWS. It's nowhere close to the competitors."

"I would rate the stability a four out of ten. It's an area that could use improvement"

"Perhaps minor changes to the enterprise structure could be made, but the rest is fine."

"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."

"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."

"The product must provide more details of the errors."

"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."

"The solution is scalable from an infrastructure point of view. However, it becomes more complex over time because technology is changing so fast."

"Our account representative was inexperienced, they could improve on how they are managing accounts."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"It's very, very expensive."

"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."

"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."

"The product itself is relatively expensive."

"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."

"The price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"The solution is a bit expensive, we are still negotiating the price."
