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.
We evaluated platforms such as Snowflake, Google BigQuery and Amazon Redshift. SAP HANA Cloud stood out for its real-time in-memory performance, strong integration with SAP applications, unified transactional and analytical capabilities, and enterprise-grade governance. These …
Evaluated for its separation of compute and storage and lower entry cost, but it lacked the native understanding of complex SAP ERP semantics (ABAP logic) without extensive data reconstruction
Oracle Database performance was not that up to that mark to analyze data and do analysis. Also Oracle we had to indexing, fragmentation to keep its health good.
We adopt SAP HANA Cloud because it excels in in-memory processing which provides faster access to data. It offers real-time performance, deep integration with SAP software, and advanced analytics & visualization capabilities.
We decided to go with SAP HANA Cloud because it provides more features and better pricing than IBM cloud database. We are more familiar with SAP HANA Cloud than IBM Cloud Databases.
SAP HANA Cloud is an in-memory database ideal for real-time transactions and analytics, excelling in high-performance, integrated SAP environments, while Oracle Analytics leverages its own powerful, flexible database technology, often integrating acquired systems like Hyperion …
I found SAP HANA Cloud to be more efficient in handling large workloads and projects where I needed to isolate multiple data points and roughly a short amount of time. Generating reports also was an issue using other environments, SAP HANA Cloud is much more efficient with …
Cloud First strategy in our company was the main reason for us to move to SAP HANA Cloud. We are currently migrating our ERP (SAP ECC, Oracle etc) to SAP HANA Cloud. It's a Greenfield implementation and we are migrating the data from different ERP platforms to SAP HANA Cloud.
It enables preview and better cloud service than other cloud platforms. Easy document transfer and faster document transfer are the key points for the selection of the HANA cloud server. The preview of data before its execution is also one of the factors in the selection of the …
Multiple things as SAP HANA Cloud is used to handle large volumes of data with smooth use of different data types, including great real-time data storage.
It is well organized. One can use it for the company's portfolio management. Various tasks can be done for managerial purposes. One can track the material from start to end product: for example, raw material, packing material & consumable material to formulated bulk and formulated drug product. This can help to manage spending as well as finding costing of the product.
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
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.

One specific example of how the support for SAP HANA Cloud impacted us is in our efforts to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues. Whenever we encountered an issue or had a question, the support team was quick to respond and provided us with clear and actionable guidance. This helped us avoid downtime and keep our analytics operations running smoothly.
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.
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.
