SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud vs Virtustream xStream comparison

"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."

"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."

"Now, with the cloud, we can move anywhere in the world and we can easily access it from SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, and even the client can also see the stock availability which they need to order."

"The interface is easy to manage."

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

"Fiori is the most valuable feature, as well as the the integration between S/4 and another solution as an extension."

"It has significantly streamlined our operations."

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

"Once we made the move to this solution, we received efficiencies, 100%, 200%, even up to 1000%, depending on some processes."

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

"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."

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

"Customers need to be better educated about using the solution's cloud for digital transformation."

"They should probably offer more cloud services. Most of the cloud infrastructure providers we have make everything pretty transparent, you know what you're getting, you have all these metrics and measurements and everything in the dashboard. Here you have to go through the contracting negotiations and all those things."

"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."

"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."

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

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

"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."

"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."

"The solution could be less expensive."

"SAP may not be the most cost-effective option, but it does offer a comprehensive set of tools and features. When you have the right information, structure, and dashboard in place, it can provide excellent value. Additionally, competition with Oracle might be a factor to consider."

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

"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."

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

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