SAP HANA Reviews

SAP HANA is one of the best and powerful tools for enterprise data management. We used it for ETL (extract, transform, load) and calculations. We were satisfied with the speed of each of those activities. The in-memory capabilities of SAP Hana has increased the performance of the time taken reports. We had moved away from a lot of the third-party databases and applications and it's allowed the consolidation of multiple systems.

An in-memory system providing users high availability during processing and visualizing real-time data. It helps businesses/Organizations to make better financial decisions. Our client got benefits of the real-time analytics in transaction data with the help of in-memory database technology. The revenue is increased for the client and system is more reliable and stable.

Our organization made a migration from SAP B1 to SAP Hana based on our user feedback that data retrieval time is not smooth and is consuming a lot of time which indirectly was reducing their efficiency. Hence to make a positive impact on the employee feed back we decided to migrate to SAP HANA being aware of the additional cost and IT infrastructure in mind .We were also aware that the current trend is focusing on cloud hence we were aware at one point we had to migrate to HANA. Our Enterprise ERP was utilizing an Oracle db since the onset of our organization ,i.e 20 plus years. Hence a simple query would be searching more than 10 mil records at any point in time which was responsible for the slow operating speed of SAP B1 .Thus keeping in mind the overall data retrieval speed in mind we decided to go ahead HANA.

We had utilized this feature by directly linking the database to tableau for more insight full analtics.Because of the high data loading speed of HANA we could easily generate positive ROI as far as data analytics is concerned.The inbuilt SAP analytics module utilized Machine learning but it was not utilise much by us will surely try it out in the coming days

My Organization Utilizes SAP HANA for varied purposes be it Employee Payroll, Creating PO & SO. The Production Department uses it to leverage & compile the comprehensive end of the month consumptions & production reports. This Tool has been helping us to keep our different Inter-Related processes unified & in sync with each other. Its advanced analytics capabilities are making our lives easier & our job simpler.

[SAP HANA] makes data processing across different Business segments very fast owing to its faster data retrieving capabilities. It facilitates us to make use of real-time data for making interactive dashboards & helps us in doing the fast analysis based on the reports.

SAP HANA is used in my organization to perform ETL operation and to generate results for analytical activity. We get data from big Data servers we process it, and SAP HANA generates reports. It works on real-time data on the fly--the beauty of on-the-fly processing is that it solves our real-time data analytics activity issue.

Yes, our organization is utilizing SAP HANA, as it is in-memory database designed to facilitate real time analytics on live transactional data. We are generating live data, we are displaying data in dashboard, and SAP HANA gives us a result in a fraction of a second. We are using SAP HANA for live scores and sharing market analysis.

[SAP] HANA is used across all functional areas. Pre Hana response rates were slow, however. [SAP] HANA has resolved this issue. [SAP HANA] allows extraction of data to make better and faster decisions.

SAP HANA has enabled some of our modules to be in memory which has enabled to get live data driving better anakytics and competitive advantage.

My company purchased SAP HANA to help bring our entire International organization under one roof, so to speak. It is an on going process that has taken two plus years and will continue to grow as we add more divisions. Due to the Pandemic we have not been adding any divisions but it is still in the works. Meanwhile, we use it every day.

SAP HANA has shown its ability to facilitate real-time analytics at any time during the month which allows us to create reports in real time and therefore giving us the time to analyze and if need be make changes to our organization at any time. I use it to run Accrued tax reports which I can reconcile in real time and compare G/L balances with A/P balances.

SAP HANA replaced the previous version of SAP RSAP. [SAP] HANA will be used across the whole organization and one of the main goal is to standardize our processes and simplify activities which are currently executed differently depends on the localization.
Also due to the use of in-memory technology, SAP HANA is a great solution for our company that expect very high performance in real-time data processing and even immediate feedback from the data they have. [SAP] HANA is used for many tasks that fall into two separate categories: real-time analytics and real-time applications.

I have used SAP HANA before, but for my current organization, the main purpose was simply day-to-day processes reducing unnecessary maintenance options. Also, as we do have other SAP products in house, integration was smooth, too.

I would like to discuss what I observed after reviewing similar products and found SAP HANA is doing better than others:

• Real-time analytics are great and improving day by day
• Developed our production processes at least 5x more
• Improved business applications performance
• Built-in reporting capability is outstanding, and that is something that is needed for senior management

Our clients belong to the energy and utility sector. They are providing services in three countries. They were using various RDBMS applications based on their needs. One of the applications was SAP HANA. Real time analysis and decision making capability helps our clients to better finance decisions and also in-memory parallel processing system promises high availability.

In-memory system providing users high availability. Especially, processing and visualizing real time data helps business to take better financial decisions and prepare for disasters during any climatic changes.

We were working on a supply chain project for a customer where we have build applications on top of the data that is dependent on SAP, as well as a third-party application. 3rd party application data varies quite frequently, which has a huge set of master data and can be accessed via files. We brought this data to SAP HANA on a cloud platform, which gave us access to unify data coming from ECC and 3rd party. It also provided the capability to server better user experience for accessing this data via Fiori applications.

Real-time data availability of both SAP and Non-SAP is one of the biggest benefits. Our application displays the prices from different suppliers that are needed coming from the 3rd party application. Availability of this data based on the Geo search and having it in a real-time was a big plus.

SAP HANA [is] used as a database and for business warehouse for our client. This solution speeds up the business decision and performance.

Yes organization got benefits of the realtime analytics in transaction data with the help of in memory data base technology. The business decision to make is fast and efficient.
The revenue is increased for the client and system is more reliable and stable

We have faced the transition for the change to the new ERP and all the structures that support the analytical architecture is based on this tool. It therefore acts as a power base for all DWH, Cloud and DB. The versatility and performance it offers are undoubtedly adequate, the limit we have identified is linked to the lack of connectivity with non-SAP systems.

it was possible to move from a batch approach, necessary for the previous infrastructure, to a real-time approach, which without for monitoring and timeliness purposes allows the departments concerned to be much more effective and capillary. The availability of data with a speed like that guaranteed by SAP HANA, allows an evolution of the analyzes and actions derived from them.

We implemented SAP HANA during our SOH (Suite on HANA) migration. SAP HANA replaced Oracle as our backend DB for SAP ERP. Not only for ERP, for SCM and BW also my organization uses SAP HANA as backend DB.

Since all ERP data is being stored in HANA DB and all other different business applications are integrated with SAP HANA, the features, functionalities, and benefits of SAP HANA not only used and impacted the IT department but also across the whole organization.

The in-memory technology helped business processes to be executed much faster than it was before. In my organization MRP process before HANA, it took 7200 sec and after HANA it takes only 1200 sec. Similarly, process time has been minimized for many business functions like stock reports, invoice processing, Sales order creation, Material availability checking for process order, and many more. Significant improvement has been observed in SCM and BW processes. Not only in business process time, HANA has also helped to simplified the connectivity and integration method with other DBs and applications. Due to its compression capabilities, HANA has also reduced the DB sizes which helped the organization save cost hardware cost.

Because of HANA, real-time reporting on transactional data has become easier and faster. We observed there is a huge time saving during operational reporting and cost management reporting on production.

HANA is user friendly. We can use sales module which is quite helpful for relationship building with the customer. Very efficient to store data...easy to manage the reports and productivity. Also helpful in after sales cycle as it enhances the customer interaction. Also useful in making smarter bill of management which saves time.

SAP HANA Analytics is really helpful for any business as it gives insight or forecast in advance what to do, how to do and when to do.. analytics is quite helpful in procurement, manufacturing, marketing, sales and distribution... also in customer service and product management as reports predict the things where we are lacking.

SAP HANA is the heart of my department in my organisation. We have well qualified and trained professionals with hands on experience in SAP HANA. My organisation does conduct training sessions in each quarter with some latest updates which includes support package, advanced features, performance & operational point of views. Most of our customers are already using SAP HANA and we are supporting & enhancing their needs. We have migrated many customers from classic ERP to SAP HANA. We are using SAP HANA across the organisation in most of the departments. SAP HANA addresses most of the complex data models with better performance & analytical capabilities. Also it supports most of the data visualisation tools & also supports complex calculation in databases level.

Yes definitely SAP HANA is an in-memory database which facilitates real time data analytics on live transactional data. We have a feature in SAP HANA to derive both the real time transactional as well as analytical data. Because SAP HANA is a combination of OLTP & OLAP processing which is an advantage.

SAP HANA is being used across the whole organization for payrolls, employee leave managment, engineering/operation activities such as MOC/PSSR, creating purchase orders, sales orders and process orders. The production planning department used SAP HANA for preparing end month production and consumption reports which were the inputs for the accounting department who used it for financial analysis.

SAP HANA is being used as an Enterprise solution to provide an analytic solutions to our business users.

Yes, it has benefited us as we create many Native HANA apps for Retail, Contracts and Procurement business processes.

[SAP HANA} helps us to process our retail business fields also improve the end user experience. Our project structure requires use ERP and SAP HANA, and I can say that the connection between ERP and SAP HANA has been reliable and easy.

Our organization needs fast responses to all our end users to make [it] possible [for] them [make] some decisions about their business and for that It is important to have real time data in a specific period of time. In the retail business for example [it is important] to see the real data about the sales and the stock in warehouse

We use SAP HANA as our data mart for our analytic reporting throughout the business.

We have really benefited with SAP HANA reporting.

SAP HANA is being used by 2 departments at my organization. Specifically, payroll and E-Learning. It increases the transparency for decision makers and as an analyst, it is easy to understand for me to simplify the setup of views and administration. Authorization is one of the business problems SAP HANA addresses.

Yes, my organization has benefited from the capabilities of in memory database. With the help of this feature of real time analytics, my organization is able to formulate several reports which addresses different business problems.

SAP HANA is being used as a relational database management system to store and extract data as and when needed by the applications. The SAP HANA standard edition provides services related to database, application and integration, series data, dynamic tiering, and more additional features. It address the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics through advanced analytics (streaming analytics option, spatial/graph option, search/text option, predictive option).

It has been highly beneficial for our client in terms of business and critical decision making situations. It offers wide range of advanced real-time analytics which has significantly improved the business model of our client.
Service related to Data Privacy Option has the capability to provide enhanced protection of sensitive and confidential data of our client.

SAP HANA is being used by about half of our organization. The entity that we are operating today as, formed only two year ago by the merger of two organizations that operated on Oracle and SAP Enterprise stacks separately. So the part of the organization that is already using SAP products chose to first work with SAP HANA.

Our previous (traditional) databases required downtime windows and any heavy number-crunching could happen only during less-busy hours. With SAP HANA, we have several analytics jobs running during business hours with quick tunraround time and no dip in performance at all. Real-time analytics also help business users and managers the freedom to request or run reports on a need basis.

SAP HANA is used throughout the whole organisation as leading database, particularly warehouse management, where we can make quick and efficient decisions. As the product is multi into memory, it's hard to beat it's proformance with other products which was a deciding factor when we purchased [SAP] HANA, along with real time analytics and reduction in MRP times.

We use real-time analytics to show what-if
scenarios and how they would impact the business, particularly in
MRP. We are now shown in real time how our stock levels will be affected
and we don't have to wait around and analyse the data manually. The stores
department is working a lot more efficiently and we can produce work orders
based on incoming orders and combine where necessairy.

SAP HANA was used across the tech team for the purpose of simplifying our IT processes.
Because it has in memory storage capability, that led [to] easy organization of humongous data for the application we were handling .
It allowed us faster access of data and hence good performance.
HANA's database engine is so advanced that it allowed us to develop and deploy at run times.

As I mentioned, we benefited from this good capability of SAP HANA as it reduced the transactional time for us from 3 days to 4 hours .
In the next value add the tool identifies us the pattern making it easier for business decision. Again, the analysis time was fairly reduced.
The real time decision was always there for us to make because of its feature .
The good reporting feature through interactive dashboards of it made it very convenient for us and for the end user as well..
The APIs it provides are so basic that it helped write any code on top of it and hence easier for us to correlate between different systems.

As a consultant, I implement business scenarios in SAP HANA. At my current project, we implement solutions based on BWonHANA and use SAP HANA developments for more complex use cases, e.g. where we need to join various sources (and/or) texts together or need to do some sort of pre-selection/ranking based on certain measures. For this we use calculation views. We currently do not use HANA for XS applications.

We are currently not using real-time analytics functionalities. All data used in HANA scenarios is first replicated into a BW system (batch jobs, not real-time). The benefit we are currently experiencing is virtualization and live calculations upon execution of e.g. queries based on views which means we can reduce persisted data volume on BW side.
