SAP 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.

I gotta be honest, after a PoC period, we choose to rewrite the whole application in a different cross-platform app. Our developers had to invest a lot of time and effort to debug a lot of plugin-related issues, which we needed to utilize the android mobile phone capabilities. QR reader, special visualizations, and fine-tuning were really hard and often resulted in writing native Android code instead of using the shared Angular code. In the end, we think that writing a standalone Android app and an Angular app would have been a better alternative, as the shared code base was so unreliable that it did not save us any time.
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.
True native app. The app uses native components and that is quite noticeable in the overall performance of the app. NativeScript is also awesome in the way we can access the native APIs, so we are never really constrained by the framework. If we need, we can just dive into the native APIs without leaving our environment and language (JS).
Cross-platform. Builds for Android and iOS. It deals with the platforms differences very well.
Support for Vue.js. Even though it is just a community effort, the NativeScript-Vue plugin is the best alternative to build native Apps with Vue.js. That was a major factor to go with NativeScript.
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.
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
The hybrid is ok but native is better for performance and the right use case I want to go for is the performance without dealing with too many development tools.
We would rate our likelihood of renewing at 9/10. SAP HANA Cloud has proven to be a highly reliable and scalable data platform that consistently delivers strong performance. Its seamless integration with our overall SAP landscape, combined with improved analytics and real-time data capabilities, makes it a core part of our long-term technology strategy.
It is very useful solution which provides you speedier data processing, real-time analytics. It helps you manage diverse data types. It also offers you excellent disaster management. It has user friendly interface which helps you navigate system and transactions easily and perform task smoothly.
I would rate SAP HANA Cloud’s availability as an 8 out of 10. In general, the platform is available when we need it and provides a reliable cloud environment for our data, reporting, and integration use cases.We have not experienced availability as one of the main issues compared with areas like configuration, troubleshooting, or support response quality. However, I would not rate it a 10 because, like any cloud platform, availability can still be affected by occasional service issues, application errors, maintenance windows, or dependencies with connected systems.Overall, SAP HANA Cloud has been reliable for our needs, but continuous monitoring and clear communication around incidents or maintenance are still important.
I would rate SAP HANA Cloud’s performance as an 8 out of 10. In general, performance is strong and reports usually complete in a reasonable time frame, especially when the data models, queries, and calculation views are well designed.The platform handles large data volumes well and supports fast analytics for many enterprise scenarios. It also works effectively with connected systems when the integrations are properly configured.I would not rate it a 10 because performance can depend heavily on architecture, query design, data volume, custom code, and integration complexity. In some cases, complex reports, large datasets, or custom logic require additional tuning and testing to avoid slow response times or delays in connected processes.
The community support is excellent. They have a slack community as well as a discourse forum forum.nativescript.org Both of these offer community driven support. The forum is more for a threaded discussion. The slack community is more for a quick talk.
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.
I would rate the online training as an 8 out of 10. The training materials are generally useful, well-structured, and helpful for understanding the main capabilities of SAP HANA Cloud, including data modeling, administration, integration, and analytics.The content is especially valuable for building a foundation and learning the standard features of the platform. However, I would not rate it a 10 because some advanced or real-world scenarios, such as complex integrations, troubleshooting, performance tuning, and custom code, could benefit from more practical examples and deeper technical guidance.Overall, the online training is strong, but it could be improved with more hands-on exercises and more examples based on enterprise implementation scenarios.
would rate our satisfaction with the implementation as a 6 out of 10. The implementation was completed and the solution provides value, but the process was more complex and time-consuming than expected.The main challenges were related to technical configuration, integrations, permissions, and troubleshooting. In some cases, getting clear answers or resolving issues required several iterations, which slowed down the implementation.Overall, the final result is useful, but the implementation experience could have been better with clearer documentation, more straightforward configuration steps, and more effective support during the process.
Ionic Ionic is an excellent Angular-based framework for mobile, and it does give a lot of access to the native device api's. However, the technology is based on Cordova, which means the apps being built are just webviews, with html, css and JS all running on the UI thread, and potentially creating very slow experiences for users. NativeScript is a truly native solution, and so provides a faster user experience. ReactNative We evaluate ReactNative, and found it much the same as NativeScript. The main difference is that your JS is all written with React, while NativeScript lets you choose between normal JS, Angular, and Vue. For our team, Angular was the most appropriate choice.
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.
I would rate the contract terms and pricing structure for SAP HANA Cloud as a 7 out of 10. Overall, the pricing model is reasonable for an enterprise cloud platform, especially considering the scalability, integration capabilities, and performance benefits it provides.However, there are some aspects we would improve. The pricing model could be more transparent and easier to predict, especially when usage grows across multiple departments, data volumes increase, or additional capacity is required. It would also be helpful to have clearer guidance on how configuration, storage, compute, and scaling decisions affect overall cost.If we could change anything, we would prefer simpler pricing, more predictable billing, and more flexibility to adjust capacity without creating unexpected cost increases.
I would rate SAP HANA Cloud’s overall scalability as an 8 out of 10. The product provides strong scalability for enterprise scenarios, especially when it needs to support multiple departments, growing data volumes, and more complex analytics or integration requirements.The cloud-based architecture makes it easier to expand capacity compared with traditional on-premise environments, and it gives the organization flexibility as usage increases across different teams or locations.I would not rate it a 10 because scalability still depends heavily on good architecture, correct configuration, performance tuning, and cost control. As the environment grows, it is important to monitor resource consumption, optimize queries and data models, and make sure the solution is designed properly to avoid performance or cost issues.
I would rate the professional services for SAP HANA Cloud as a 6 out of 10. The professional services were helpful in moving the implementation forward and provided useful knowledge around the platform, configuration, and technical setup.However, the experience was not perfect. Some areas, such as complex integrations, custom code, permissions, performance tuning, and troubleshooting, required more effort and follow-up than expected. In some cases, we would have benefited from clearer guidance, more practical recommendations, and faster resolution of technical questions.Overall, the professional services added value, but there is room for improvement in terms of proactivity, hands-on support, and helping customers handle complex real-world implementation scenarios.
The poor quality of NativeScript documentation has the potential to weigh heavily on development timelines, budgets, and QA resources in a NEGATIVE manner.
The poor interoperability of NativeScript plugins can significantly increase development time.
The need to seek out professional instruction to learn how to use NativeScript effectively may become a burden on your budget.
The number of breaking changes between versions of NativeScript, may cause your development efforts to lag further behind the most recent releases of NativeScript and your other chosen environments than you are accustomed to.
NativeScript still does not support the latest major version of Angular. Any significant changes to the other environment components of your systems may hold you back even further while NativeScript plays catch-up.
