Real-time data processing and good support with room for market-driven improvements

SAP RFX and overall SAP solutions provide a very intuitive and integrated solution within finance, leading procurement, and other business scenarios. The real-time data processing and the ability to track all leasing processes and contracts are particularly valuable. SAP's capability to integrate with other systems like GIS and non-SAP applications also stands out.

Improves efficiencies, has encryption, and great mission-critical customer support

Previously we had an amateur solution where we were managing on our own data center but we had the management in-house. It was a strategic move to give people who were more competent and with business focus other core initiatives. It was a strategic outsource model. The equipment we were using was out date and at the end of its life cycle, we had to make some transitions, do a hardware replacement, or move on. We moved on to this solution.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."

"The scalability is good because we have some cloud resources to support the ERP."

"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."

"The solution's initial setup process is straightforward."

"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."

"The solution does provide quite a lot of support, upgrades, automated batch updates, etc."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud pros

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

Cons

"It needs improvement in terms of stability and performance."

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

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

"This product is not mature enough at this point in time."

"The only thing that could be improved is the cost."

"It’s a common challenge with applications like Microsoft and SAP that they tend to rely on engineers rather than human resources personnel for knowledge and implementation."

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

"The price of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud is quite expensive compared to solutions such as Data Fabric in Azure and Redshift on Amazon, which are quite cheap in comparison."

More SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud cons

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is reasonable."

"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 product itself is relatively expensive."

"The licensing of the solution is on a yearly basis. The normal price of the solution is quite high, but I received a special discount by making a purchase near the end of the year."

"The price is expensive compared to the competition."

"If you choose the minimum, it will probably cost around $1,000 USD per month if you take a contract for a year or two."

"It's very, very expensive."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
