BW/4HANA is a great tool for a number of use cases
We use BW/4HANA as the platform to host our operational data warehouse. We use a separate instance of BW/4HANA to host our profitability and performance management application (PAPM).
- Near real-time data replication from HANA databases.
- Strong BW functionality.
- A host of cloud reporting tools can seamlessly connect to it.
- Enterprise license pricing is very expensive and run-time license limits the usefulness of the tool.
- Integration with SAP Analytics Cloud for write-back to BW/4HANA. Live connection is only read from SAC.
- Make run-time licenses more useful.
- Seamless connectivity
- Ease of use
- Scalability
- Eliminates data interfaces and cumbersome reconciliation from our ERP systems.
- Ability to replicate data in near real-time.
- Ability to standardize on cloud-based reporting tools.
- Tableau Desktop, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP BPC (Business Planning and Consolidation) and SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence (BI) Platform
They all have different uses. BW/4HANA is mainly a HANA based data warehouse.

No. Purchasing decisions for software and support are done centrally at my company. I don't have a lot of visibility on why we didn't purchase premium support
Yes
We received a response quickly, but it was basically to upgrade to the latest support pack. Upgrading is not always an option so it can be a problem to receive support while waiting on the support pack upgrade to be completed.
- Info provider and info object creation
- Integration with reporting tools such as business objects
- Process chain development
- Integration with SAC
- Standard BW extractors must be used for run-time license
Yes, but I don't use it

BW/4HANA, best on-premise Data Warehouse...
Currently we are a BW on HANA shop, and have explored BW/4HANA in PoC environments, as well as established it as our target Data warehouse. It will address all of our Finance, HCM, and Supply Chain reporting and Analytics Data Warehousing requirements, providing access to data across multiple business process, sourced from multiple business applications, and together with BObj BI will provide our business users visibility to key insights.
- High speed data warehouse regardless of data volumes.
- Excellent integration with SAP systems and Data sets.
- Simplified data modelling due to columnar data base.
- Better integration with external data providers.
- More cost effective licensing model.
- More flexible options for external systems provisioning data from BW/4HANA.
- Provides insight to key financial and HR performance indicators.
- Has allowed us to leverage data from both our on premise and cloud solutions.
- Security model ensure flexible yet restricted access to those who need it.
- Teradata Data Warehouse Appliance
Both are comparable with the advantage going to BW for SAP integration, simplified data modeling, and overall performance. Both play a key part in our overall data warehousing strategy and are complementary based on each of their strengths specific to data provisioning, and integration into our broader enterprise architecture. Our long term strategy will likely retain both but with tighter integration.
