It is used as a spatial data warehouse and spatial analysis tool.
  • Fast execution of spatial queries
  • Simplified management of spatial data
  • Pre-integrated connectivity to other SAP and third party products
  • Image processing and analysis
  • Support for more spatial data formats in ETL processes
  • More advanced spatial analysis tools
Best suited for enterprise-scale spatial data management and analysis, where multiple spatial systems or databases exist in silos.
Too expensive for project level analysis and lacks advanced spatial analysis tools as well as support for more spatial data formats for ingestion.
  • Consolidation or sometimes elimination of multiple spatial data management tools.
  • Enabled spatial analysis too impractical to perform on other platforms.
  • Pre-integration with other SAP and non-SAP tools improves business processes
Oracle and SQL Server, spatial. HANA is not as mature in some areas but since it supports over 80% of the use cases it makes sense to use it as the main spatial platform and use the others as sidecars where needed.
Outstanding online support and communities.

Some level of database knowledge for cloud, much more varied IT skills for on prem. Some level of SQL in both cases.
  • Consolidation of spatial data
  • Fast execution of spatial queries
  • Integration with other SAP products.
  • Running large spatial analysis tasks not practical on other platforms
  • Use for image analysis when fully supported
It is the best product for an SAP environment and often for non-SAP shops as well
No
  • Product Features
  • Prior Experience with the Product
Been involved in HANA (spatial features) since its beginning.
I would start with the assumption that HANA is the standard and put the burden of proof on other platforms.
  • Implemented in-house
No
Change management was a minor issue with the implementation
People are not comfortable with changing from something they know and poses no risk to something that is unfamiliar with risk. They must be converted by clearly demonstrating how their job will be easier and expanded.
  • Data quality issues discovered during migration
  • Re-building interfaces to legacy apps
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.
  • Formulating and running queries
  • Managing spatial data
  • Integration with other SAP and non-SAP products (Esri)
  • Getting spatial data into it
  • Geocoding
Well documented and good online training. Not a hard lift for someone with a basic knowledge of databases and SQL.
Yes, but I don't use it

It is being used by one department. As a developer (ABAPER) I am facing coding issues.
  • Faster than legacy.
  • Improved and dynamic.
  • Compatible.
  • Provide easy-to-do coding.
It is appropriate to work. For example, IRCTC is using HANA. It's not easily available for all users because of legacy systems on one want to switch to HANA. Everyone's first question is: why it is required to move to HANA? Also, it is very costly. Better solutions are available in the market at a lower price than HANA.
  • Takes time to migration during transition period.
  • Huge business effect because of less training and knowledge to users.
S/4HANA.
It's good R&D by SAP.
