SAP HANA Reviews

We use the solution for modeling and data extraction.

The solution can easily be modeled.

The openness of the system could be more developed.

The solution should go into the cloud. The cloud mechanism should be more invested.

I have been using SAP HANA for 11 years.

The solution is stable.

The solution is scalable. Approximately 200 users are using this solution.

I rate the solution’s scalability an eight out of ten.

The customer support team is good because of vendor and priority.

I have used AWS before. Both SAP HANA and AWS are the same product.

The initial setup is simple.

The tool has a high price. I rate the solution’s pricing, one on a scale of ten, where one is expensive and ten is cheap.

SAP HANA is in the market, but there are other competitors available.

I recommend the solution.

Overall, I rate the solution a seven-point five out of ten.

SAP Business One works with SQL or HANA. My experience in HANA is configuring and administrating the database. We will also use it for the virtualization of all of our machines. 

We use SAP Business One and HANA as they have the same platform and databases.

It is in the internal control system and with the most important decisions for the management of the enterprise, the process of decision-making. We are much more able to analyze the information we get from the software and analyze why it works and whether it's good or bad. It also assisted us with internal control.

The solution has a pure interface. The UX is very good. That's the most significant feature.

Working with KPIs and ERP is easy.

There is too much documentation, and SAP has open SAP courses that are very useful. It depends a lot on what I, as a consultant, am interested in. 

When you understand the software, the setup is simple. 

It is stable.

The product scales well. 

Perhaps the access to learning could be improved, although it is also very good right now. 

The relationship with a partner that sells SAP could be better. We depend much more on our own development, and the partner is for selling us the solutions, so we need them to be able to supply help and answers. The partner isn't very helpful, and we have to rely on our own knowledge and research.

It could use more organizational functionality. for example, treating and analyzing stock items. I have to work a lot to organize the information, the articles, groups, subgroups, families, and so on. 

I've been using the solution for ten years.

The solution is stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The product is scalable.

Technical support is good, and a lot of useful documentation is available. 

Positive

The initial setup isn't too hard if you know SAP software. 

In an enterprise with 150 end users, you might need two to three people to deploy the solution. 

I don't measure the ROI. With all the processes and changes in business it isn't easy, and we don't pay much attention to that.

I am a client as well as a consultant. In both enterprises that I am responsible for, we bought SAP Business One for HANA.

We are in the process of installing HANA 2.0. 

It's a good investment. 

I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

We primarily use SAP HANA for machine learning and deep learning.

The solution is very stable.

The solution can scale well.

We've had good experiences with technical support.

The performance is excellent.

We use SAP HANA in our projects but it's very expensive for our projects. We need a relational database in-memory that can handle these issues.

The solution is very expensive for us.

It's hard for us to find test users and sometimes we need them to connect to SAP from Iran, however, this is an issue due to the sanctions against the country.

We've been using the solution for more than six years.

We've found the solution to be very, very stable, especially when you compare it to other solutions.

The solution can scale quite well. If a company needs to expand it so that it fits their growing needs, they can do so easily. 

The technical support on offer is very good. We're quite satisfied with their level of service.

We tried GQ database but it's not a stable database. Sometimes the results weren't correct. SAP HANA is much more stable, which is why we use it, even though it's expensive. 

The solution is very pricey. We're looking into other options because of this.

We're looking at Oracle products as an option right now. We're also looking at MAT-V, a CPU-based database it's very fast, however, we do occasionally face issues with it.

We are a customer. We don't have a professional relationship with SAP.

SAP HANA is not just a memory database, it's a big platform. It's a very, very safe database. It's a very safe database and the performance is very, very good for an in-memory database. For example, sometimes we use Oracle databases 18C or 19C. The data is in the memory, however, when data is running, it's very slow, due to the fact that all data is in the memory and you need to and go to write disk. 

Sometimes when the data is very large, we might scale up our approach, and, in the scale-up approach, sometimes it is slow in HANA. That said, the scale-up approach is very, very good. SAP has got one problem. When you start the database, all data from the tool's memory takes a very long time. We've found that IBM's non-volatile memory is better than internal memory.  New users just need to be aware of that.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. The solution, overall, has fantastic performance, however, the cost makes it really hard for us to keep using it.

I primarily use the solution for data visualization and modeling. I've used the solution only from time to time for specific projects. 

The data modeling feature is the most useful to me. 

For my use case, it works very well. 

It's stable and reliable. 

I haven't used every aspect of the solution, so it is hard to consider what might be missing. 

It could be a bit more scalable. 

I do not have extensive experience with the solution. I've used it for five or six months so far. 

It is a stable solution. It's quite reliable. There are no bugs or glitches. 

The scalability is okay. I'd rate it six out of ten. It could be better. 

We have ten to 12 people using the solution right now. 

I'm not sure if we have plans to increase the usage. 

I've never contacted technical support. I can't speak to the level of support they provide. 

I did not previously use another similar solution. 

I did not handle the initial setup at all. I'm not sure how the deployment went or what the process was. 

I'm unsure of the exact licensing cost. 

I'm using the latest version of the solution. I'm an end user, just not an expert. 

I'd recommend the solution to others. 

It's a good solution if you are already using SAP. 

I'd rate the solution six out of ten. 

We use SAP HANA for our BW system, which is the system we use for our BI tools and BI reports.

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.

What needs improvement in SAP HANA is its automation, in particular, it needs more enhancements in that area.

Right now, what I need is already covered by SAP HANA, so I have no additional features in mind for it.

I've been using SAP HANA for four years.

SAP HANA is a stable and reliable solution.

SAP HANA is a scalable solution.

The technical support for SAP HANA is good. On a scale of one to five, I'm rating SAP support five out of five.

The initial setup for SAP HANA isn't complex. It would depend on what you need, but it's easy because you just need to define the business process and blueprint, get approval from your business team and technical team, build the structures, get approval, then configure, assign, and get approval again so you can start working on SAP HANA.

The total time it takes to deploy SAP HANA would depend on the gathering of information, checking what prevails, arranging it correctly, getting the approval, then proceeding with the deployment. You should have a plan regarding the timing, the processes, the resource, the budget, etc., for the deployment of SAP HANA.

On a scale of one to five, I'm rating the implementation of SAP HANA as five out of five.

SAP HANA is more expensive than other solutions.

I'm working on data selection, upgrading database engines, and updating database versions. I'm the IT Application Manager, so I assist in those areas.

I'm working on the latest version of SAP HANA.

My company has an SLA contract with SAP for the maintenance of SAP HANA, which means that the SAP team will take care of the maintenance. You also have the option to cover the maintenance yourself if you have a team of SAP HANA consultants and seniors.

In my current organization, a total of five hundred people use SAP HANA.

I would recommend SAP HANA to others, particularly for business process needs. You need to make sure that the solution is already defined for your organization's business process. For example, if you're in the manufacturing industry, then SAP HANA should be defined for manufacturing. You shouldn't have to make many customizations to it. This is what you need to check first. SAP HANA should cover all and automate your business processes without needing a lot of customizations.

My rating for SAP HANA is nine out of ten.

My company is a customer of SAP.

We use SAP HANA as the source of SAP or SAP S/4HANA. We don't have a BW system in between, so we assess data from SAP HANA DB, and we use HANA data models in the HANA database and consume those into SAP.

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.

Ease of use could be improved in SAP HANA. I like SAP because SAP solutions can be used by anyone, which means even laymen can start working on SAP tools, but in SAP HANA modeling, you'll need to know some other technologies and sequel scripting, and you need a separate skillset, so if you don't have the skillset, you won't be able to work on SAP HANA. Making SAP HANA low-code would make it even better.

I've been using SAP HANA for two years.

SAP HANA is a stable solution.

SAP HANA is a scalable solution.

I find the technical support for SAP HANA pretty good because if you have any issues, the team responds to you very quickly.

The initial setup for SAP HANA was straightforward. I don't have information on how long it took to deploy the solution because I wasn't in charge of the deployment.

I have no information on SAP HANA licensing costs.

More than three hundred people use SAP HANA within my organization.

At the moment, there's no plan to increase usage for SAP HANA.

My company does system patching every quarter, so there's no issue with maintaining the solution.

I would recommend SAP HANA to others who want to start using it.

My rating for the solution is eight out of ten.

We use SAP HANA on a daily basis for end-to-end business processing. Also, we use it for maintenance management and appointing processes.

I like the integration process. Also, the data is trusted by our management, and we use the data from transactions for analysis.

The bid process needs to be improved.

I've been using this solution for about three years.

Technical support is provided by our SAP HANA partner, and I would rate it at eight out of ten.

Positive

I would rate the initial setup at nine on a scale from one to ten with one being difficult and ten being easy.

The deployment took six and a half years.

The cost of SAP HANA is high, and I would rate the price at eight out of ten.

I would recommend SAP HANA and rate it at eight out of ten.

I use SAP HANA for enterprise, financial, and materials management.

The best feature of SAP HANA is column computing. The computing speed of the solution is also very high, so developers can easily develop programs through SAP HANA.

Per SAP, you can do both transactional and analytical processes in SAP HANA. Though that's true, the speed is slower when you combine the two functions, so this is what I'd like SAP to improve in SAP HANA.

In the next release, I want to see better diagrams in SAP HANA and a more user-friendly interface.

I've used SAP HANA for a long time because I'm a technical consultant for SAP.

I used to contact SAP to ask for help with SAP HANA, and I'm giving the SAP support team a six out of ten.

Neutral

My company still uses SAP HANA because it's an SAP business partner, plus the company also helps other companies use SAP HANA.

SAP HANA is easy to set up. It took a short time to deploy the solution.

SAP HANA is very expensive here in China. My company bought the SAP ERP suite, which includes SAP HANA. For others who use SAP HANA as an analytical database, CPU numbers will affect the pricing, so as a solution, it's costly.

I'm using SAP HANA version 2.0 from 1.0.

Here in China, most people use the on-premise SAP HANA version.

My company has five hundred employees, all using SAP HANA.

I suggest this solution to people using SAP ERP or any other software from SAP.

My rating for SAP HANA is eight out of ten because it's a very powerful database for traditional and analytical scenarios.
