SAP HANA Reviews

The internet of things, big data, and utilization of block chain will be possible with HANA.

It's a reliable and fast solution.

It is very stable and very innovative. You can integrate many applications with it.

The worst thing about SAP HANA is the price; it's very expensive. The licensing cost, implementation cost, hosting cost, and appliance cost are all high. 

We've been using it for three years now.

It's a cloud-based solution.

It is a very stable solution.

It's very scalable.

The technical support has been fine.

We were running SAP on Oracle, and then we switched to HANA.

If it's a new installation, it is straightforward. However, if it's a migration from one system to a new system, it's not as straightforward as you might think it would be.

We utilized around 30 technical and functional staff because we were leaving our legacy system behind and migrating to a new one. 

We pay for a maintenance license, and the licensing cost is high. In general, it is a very expensive solution.

This product covers almost everything, and it's scalable and very innovative. On a scale from one to ten, I would rate SAP HANA at nine.

We use a hybrid deployment model for this solution. Our primary use case of SAP HANA is for business intelligence. 

In terms of improvement, the speed is not as good as we thought it would be. That is why we are trying different solutions that will be built with different technologies.

Also, the cost is an issue. SAP HANA is extremely expensive, especially in the cloud. Right now that has changed because you can actually purchase modules of that size but, for example, two years ago when we had a database of 10 terabytes, then we would have to purchase the hardware on our own and then put it in the cloud foreign location of the vendor. It runs on our own software that we have purchased. It's just placed in the same location as the rest of the cloud of the vendor.

They should improve the speed and scalability

It's stable. 

If you want to scale the entire size of the database then that is difficult and has an impact on the speed. If you want to scale with new processes and new reports, that's fairly easy.

We have more than 1,000 users using this solution. 

The initial setup, from what I recall, was complex. I remember we had a lot of issues to tackle when we set this up and with upgrading.

We used a partner for the implementation. We had mixed feelings about our experience with them. It wasn't bad. It wasn't exceptionally good.

We're moving away from HANA and currently implementing a new solution which is not yet productive. Only the first part of it has become productive and I can't really say whether it's better or worse. During testing, we can see it's faster than HANA and provides the same data which is promising. I would restrain myself from providing any recommendations because that might give a false impression.

I would not recommend SAP HANA because it has some issues with the speed and scalability of the size. It's also extremely expensive. It's probably the most expensive solution of all and you could expect more from it. On the other hand, we don't have much experience with other solutions yet, so it will be very difficult to provide a real recommendation.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

We are using this product for IAM.

Using this solution has given us better details for reporting and analytics.

The most valuable feature is optimization.

The performance and integration with other products are areas in need of improvement.

I have been working with SAP HANA for between three and four years.

The stability is okay.

It scales well and we have had no trouble with it.

The technical support is good.

The deployment was straightforward.

We had assistance from an SAP partner for deployment.

The price of this product is good.

I would rate this solution a seven out of ten.
