Pros

Key/value data store. Couchbase is blazing fast at data access and retrieval when you know what keys you want to access.
Data querying with N1QL. If you have your indexes set up right, searching your unstructured data can be really fast too.
Management dashboard. The Couchbase platform has a great admin panel that provides tons of insights into how your cluster is performing.

HANA has allowed us to convert our BW reports and provide users with real time report data. Prior to moving to HANA, the reporting was based on prior day activities.
Queries involving large amount of financial data are able to be run much quicker with HANA than prior to implementation.

Cons

Should allow servers to change their roles on the fly - currently you will need to take down the server and re-assign roles
SDK documentation is not as helpful and should have more examples
No pre-compiled procedures - unlike in SQL Server, Couchbase does not have pre-compiled stored procedures therefore we have to run various test to optimize our application

Whenever an error is made in an order confirmation, the reversal process is extremely difficult and the user has to go through several steps to correct it.
There is no specific pathway for certain tasks which can be quite misleading for new users.
SAP support from online sources is very limited. As a result of that, solving a problem can be challenging if the skilled person is not available.

I rarely actually use Couchbase Server, I just stay up-to-date with the features that it provides. However, when the need arises for a NoSQL datastore, then I will strongly consider it as an option

SAP HANA 4.3

Based on 6 answers

At this moment we are not focusing on SAP, however would love to in the future. This is primarily because of our limited ability to generate more revenue to fund for SAP partnerships and products. Our initial tryst with SAP Partneredge open ecosystem didn't go as planned and we have shelved that for now. Hope we can revive in the future

Usability

Couchbase 8.0

Based on 1 answer

Couchbase has been quite a usable for our implementation. We had similar experience with our previous "trial" implementation, however it was short lived.

Couchbase has so far exceeded expectation. Our implementation team is more confident than ever before.

When we are Live for more than 6 months, I'm hoping to enhance this rating.

Performance

Couchbase 8.8

Based on 71 answers

Couchbase's performance has been excellent in our experience. In one particular case, the use of Couchbase instead of RDBMS improved page load speeds by an order of magnitude. The fact that adding more nodes scales both the read and write performance automatically and transparently has been particularly advantageous for our OLTP use cases.

SAP HANA 8.2

Based on 216 answers

SAP HANA is one of the best databases in the current century and it’s SAP’s own database. The performance & handling of complex calculations are far more better than any other database. Performance tuning & memory monitoring is easily done without impacting any codes. Virtual data models have been used and the basic models are not affected.

Alternatives Considered

I'm not qualified enough to make a meaningful comparison, but 2 years after, I hear regularly about issues on Mongo from the other teams, especially on the SRE side. On our side, not much to say, except that it works. Ram, CPU, disk behave like expected. Same for bandwidth. Response time stays low. Not much to add.

We changed PECTRA for SAP, since we were having many problems with the loss of information in the database and unexpected catalog changes. In addition to that, it was very cumbersome to perform data analysis. We had many problems with a lack of materials or that the necessary did not enter because of it.

Scalability

Couchbase 8.4

Based on 53 answers

The system is multidimensional scalable. We can enable a specific service (DATA, INDEX, QUERY, ...) on specific nodes inside a cluster.The only limit, for now, is the Map/Reduce view service that is combined with the DATA service. It is then not possible to scale it independently from DATA nodes.
