Overall Satisfaction with SAP HANA
SAP HANA is used as a data repository for our business intelligence applications. It is used by our procurement, operations and compliance groups and it allows for strategic planning to maximize revenue and decision making. It also acts as the backend for our SpotFire front end analytical toolsets allowing reports and visualizations.
- intuitive interface
- easily scalable for large amounts of data
- fast data access
- filtering interface could use work
- easier direct SQL-type language queries
- more built-in visualization
- one stop shop for data
- easy to filter and query
- takes some time to configure in the beginning
- SQL and TIBCO Spotfire
SAP HANA is much more intuitive and user-friendly than SQL and Python. This makes sense because it is a commercial application whereas SQL and Python are not. SpotFire has some advantages over SAP HANA in that it has a lot of built-in visualization capability, however, it cannot handle and store large amounts of data in the same way.
