SAP HANA review
We are currently using SAP HANA on our corporate business warehouse. It allows us to use the BW software suite on top of the HANA database and leverage in-memory storage that leads to faster data loads and simplified data modeling.

SAP HANA Review
We have several systems used by subsidiaries, and the whole company uses HANA. They use it mainly for financial functions (so it's used only by financial departments) but in some cases, sales and real estate also uses it to manage properties.
- Performance in batch processing. We have reduced the time it takes by half. Before we had trouble finishing our batch jobs before 8 a.m., and with HANA, we finish at 6 a.m.
- Reduced DB space. We use about 50% less of DB space in HANA than we did in Oracle Database.
- Queries using a large amount of data are much quicker than before when we used Oracle Database. Some of them we spent hours executing, and now you only need a few minutes to have data.
- Security. It is hard to define user security. There are not tools to easily control security.
- Memory usage must be more efficient. HANA, by itself, needs so much memory to work, in some instances with 128 GB memory.
November 22, 2019
SAP HANA as an investment in the future
HANA is used over the whole Organisation. It is our backbone for all our SAP systems.
- Extremely fast.
- Reliable.
- Futuristic technology for SAP and non-SAP environments.
- License is a problem
- especially for Big Data Use Cases the License Model is not feasible
- HANA should be more Data Center Ready

SAP HANA - Do More in Less Time
SAP HANA is being used as a DB; basically S/4 HANA has HANA as the database. The data memory footprint has reduced considerably due to the columnar storage feature; also the power of in-memory computing has helped optimize performance and slow data fetch issues. This has helped improve overall productivity and efficiency.
- Great calculation speeds utilizing the power of in-memory computing.
- Reducing memory footprint and hence reducing hardware costs.
- Real-time reporting capabilities.
- Improve Web IDE HANA version and make all features available on HANA Web IDE.
- Cost incentives to increase adoption; currently not everyone with SAP can afford HANA.
- Better developer experience.
November 20, 2019
SAP HANA - A must have!
On our team, we have migrated our BW system to BW on SAP HANA, so it is used by the people who produce and consume reporting analysis. The main issue that we had was with reports taking a long time to run. Now, they run in about 10% of the time they use to run.
- Work with high volume of data
- Simplify query design
- Simplify data transformation
- For what we use it for, we don't see any cons

Room for Improvement
We run ECC on HANA across 5 division and 25 legal entities.
- Fast read access on large data tables
- Slower processing of update transactions than before
November 20, 2019
SAP HANA Review
Used by a department for data modeling and fulfilling users' complex requirements. We're using HANA Studio Modeler to design calculation views and procedures. Good and fast data read and write service for large data sets. Development is extremely easy for the persons who don't even know how to code or who are novices in SQL language.
- Fast data service, instant data preview option upon modeling
- Security
- Web IDE needs to improve
- Eclipse environment needs more optimization on Windows systems
- Better error handing design time

SAP HANA, the Ferrari of ERP
It is being used for CFMS and debt management. All the financial transactions process in SAP HANA and we are reaping the benefits of it. Our turn-around time in serving the users has come down significantly. The time that was being taken to complete a process has come down from a month's time to hours.
- Reducing process times.
- Processes are now structured and delivered through workflows.
- Analytics of data.

Small but heavy on features
It is used by different departments within my organisation.
- Response of the system.
- Easy to handle the data.
- Reporting is faster.
- On data.
- SAP Concur.
- SAP Travel.
November 18, 2019
SAP HANA Review
We use SAP Concur for our travel expenses and associates' expenses. This was recently brought in by our GBS India and launched successfully. This made the travel expense easy especially direct feed from our banks where the associates don't have to reenter saving a lot of time. Life is easy after that....
- Real time.
- More data.
- Easier and faster.
- Personally I believe the UI could be much more compact and I see improvement areas.
- Mobile application and desktop are very different.
- Sometimes you need type-in help on mouse hover for faster input and selection.
- Now HANA is going cloud where data and security becomes a concern for larger companies. We want to see a benchmark company in manufacturing domain with such a large retail presence. I see there are areas for improvement in that.

SAP HANA - made life easy
SAP HANA is used extensively in my organization. Starting from S/4HANA as EPR and BW/4HANA as Reporting and SAC (SAP Analytics on Cloud) for Dashboarding. This is solving all day-to-day operations starting from Order to Cash, Procurement to Delivery, Financial closing - AP/AR. Moreover, it is also helping us to managing our HR operations, their salaries, etc.
- In-memory computation - resolve all slow performance issues to great extent.
- Column storage - reduce memory footprint and cost of hardware.
- Agile and quick development reduced development efforts significantly.
- Connectivity with SAP and non-SAP systems - helped to get all data under one umbrella for consolidated reporting.
- Currently Enterprise HANA gets data via table replication through SLT. There is no provision to use the function module which is part of S/4HANA in Enterprise HANA. Looking for functionality wherein we can call these function modules in Enterprise HANA and fetch relevant data.
- There is no further release of HANA live views from SAP side. There are certain areas where we have to build HANA views from the start. Having more HANA live views will help us to speed up the development.
- Adding debugging functionality.
November 18, 2019
SAP HANA - A great enterprise software
SAP HANA is used in my company to centralise data from multiple ERPs. SAP HANA helps in securing data and improve the reporting experience. With a large volume of data from multiple ERPs, it was very useful as we have many challenges consolidating data. It removed our data duplication issue. I get a very near to real time reporting experience and it's helped build a data lake.
- Data management. I can place data based on my requirements to RAM and place less used data to disk.
- Data security. We have multiple levels of security that keeps our data secure.
- Performance. With a large volume of data being generated every day, its reporting performance is very good.
- Reliable. SAP HANA is very reliable as we can switch between nodes whenever we have a failure.
- To be very frank, the cost is high.
- SDA functionality was not that successful.
- Also with Cloud being a very integral part of digital transformation, SAP HANA cloud was not that promising.

HANA for Data Analysis, keeps process simple and analyzes more data
We used HANA for analytics purposes, and as we have a lot of data we need to automate most of the process. We have used most best practices.
