    Score8.9 out of 10
    N/ASAP HANA is an application that uses in-memory database technology to process very large amounts of real-time data from relational databases, both SAP and non-SAP, in a very short time. The in-memory computing engine allows HANA to process data stored in RAM as opposed to reading it from a disk which means that the data can be accessed in real time by the applications using HANA. The product is sold both as an appliance and as a cloud-based software solution.

    Printanista is suited quite well to support companies/enterprises with large fleets at multiple locations, but is entirely overkill for smaller businesses with a small fleet at a single location.
    For example, for business that provide MPS services and supply MFPs, having Printanista allows the monitoring and shipment of supplies much more seamlessly than without. However, comparing that to a business that has a single location with 10-15 printers/copiers - a platform like Printanista is a bonus, but would have the bare minimum utilized.
    I'd absolutely recommend it to people who have MFPs at multiple locations within or outside of their organization that want full control of the unit without being in front of it.

    I think if you have a large organization, it's probably the product and the marketplace to go to. We're a large management consulting firm operating in four to seven countries. And generally speaking, I think that's the size and the scope where it scales best. I can't speak to smaller companies, but I can't see smaller companies leveraging the benefits as much as a larger organization can.

    Pros
    ECI Software Solutions
    • It allows me to gather and organize meter data in relevant and useful ways. It works very well with MS Excel spreadsheets.
    • It provides complete meter data so that you can provide your Sales dept. with enough useful information so that eventual upgrade proposals can be constructed. It also provides real information that tells how much print volume may or may not have to suggest changes to a customer fleet of printers.
    • It is also simple enough for customers with smaller printer fleets so that you can isolate certain areas of the meter data that may prove useful in certain applications.

    • Real-time reporting and analytics on data: because of its in-memory architecture, it is perfect for businesses that need to make quick decisions based on current information.
    • Managing workload with complex data: it can handle a vast range of data types, including relational, documental, geospatial, graph, vector, and time series data.
    • Developing and deploying intelligent data applications: it provides various tools for such applications and can be used for machine learning and artificial intelligence to automate tasks, gain insights from data, and make predictions.

    Cons
    ECI Software Solutions
    • The helpdesk and support is useless. I literally know more about the product than they do.
    • The onsites and connection to central is unreliable. We have to hire an extra employee just to keep this running.
    • The programers don't think about or test the patches the push out. Onistes break after they update central
    • Some machines will show up in the MIB walk but wont actually show up on the device page. Thier solution is to create a new account. They don't have the technical capacity to figure out why it is doing this.
    • Just a very unreliable product that we have multiple tickets a week open that they seem to never be able to resolve

    • Requires higher processing power, otherwise it won't fly. How ever computing costs are lower. Incase you are migrating to cloud please do not select the highest config available in that series . Upgrading it later against a reserved instance can cost you dearly with a series change
    • Lack of clarity on licensing is one major challenge
    • Unless S/4 with additional features are enabled mere migration HANA DB is not a rewarding journey. Power is in S/4

    However, I am not the right person to answer this as we have another department to handle support and contact the service provider for any support required. Although i will say that they are the quick respondent and knows how to handle querry of the customers and provide quick and better support.

    Professional GIS people are some of the most risk-averse there are, and it's difficult to get them to move to HANA in one step. Start with small projects building to 80% use of HANA spatial over time.

    Printanista doesn't do much differently from other products in the same class. They are all relatively easy to deploy and monitor print levels. Most of the time, the printer readings are accurate and allow you to make sure a customer's print environment is running smoothly. Printanista works about the same amount of time as a Printix application.

    I have deep knowledge of other disk based DBMSs. They are venerable technology, but the attempts to extend them to current architectures belie the fact they are built on 40 year old technology. There are some good columnar in-memory databases but they lack the completeness of capability present in the HANA platform.

    • ROI has always been high in terms of the functionality that it offers and the security features it comes with.
    • Managing large volumes of data in real-time is not an easy task, but it does it pretty well with faster data processing.
